Way back in my 20s, my friends and I played a game that involved casting actors as certain Guy at the Party types. This fantasy's purpose wasn't to make these fetes more desirable by studding them with stars, but to accurately suss out the source of a performer's charisma.
Straightforward troublemakers like Johnny Depp are easy to profile. He's the guy whose arrival makes everyone softly groan, and he revels in that. To his credit, he brought a bottle to share, but it's the cheapest rum he could find; also, you know he's going through your cabinets and closets to find where you hid the good stuff, with which he will then disappear along with your favorite shoes . . . just because.
