How many gangster roles has Johnny Depp starred in?

It's hard to give an exact number for "gangster roles" Johnny Depp has played because it depends on how strictly you define "gangster". Some of his roles could be considered gangster-adjacent, while others are more complex.

Here are some of his roles that could be considered gangster:

* Whitey Bulger in "Black Mass" (2015): This is probably the most straight-forward gangster role Depp has played. He portrays the notorious Boston mobster.

* Donnie Brasco in "Donnie Brasco" (1997): Depp plays an undercover FBI agent who infiltrates the Bonanno crime family.

* George Jung in "Blow" (2001): While not strictly a gangster, George Jung was a major player in the cocaine trade. Depp portrays his life, including his time in prison.

* Sparky in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (1998): This role is more of a counter-culture, drug-fueled wild man, but it could be considered a type of gangster.

* Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean" (2003 - present): While not strictly a gangster, Captain Jack Sparrow operates in a world of pirates, who could be seen as a type of outlaw or gangster.

There are other roles where Depp plays characters with criminal elements, but they may not fit the strict definition of a "gangster".

Ultimately, whether or not you consider a role to be a "gangster role" depends on your own definition.
