What movie comes to mind when you think of Robert Downey Jr.?

D35dEiO

His IMDB page:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000375/

Regardless of what you think of him as an actor (I think most people would say he's a darn good one), RDJ's story is pretty incredible. Going from being an Oscar nominated actor to being arrested multiple times for drug use then coming back (with the aid of Mel Gibson, weirdly enough) to land a role that's made him incredibly wealthy. Even aside from that, he's been in a pretty good number of movies.

He's such a good actor. I'll admit that I don't know much of his stuff pre-2000s. I mean I know Chaplin was his Oscar nominated role but I've never seen it. I think he's a fun Sherlock Holmes (though the movies aren't, like, super amazing). And he managed to get another Oscar nomination for his insane role in Tropic Thunder (I didn't really like the movie but I admire the joke). Then he's got other stuff like that Elton John video and whatnot.

But, whether it's what he wants to be known as forever or not, he is Iron Man. Tony Stark is the perfect character for him and I absolutely love the MCU that was kinda built on his performance.


Any nominations going forward would be cool. I have a big list of 'em now but if you suggest someone on there they can move up the rankings and come sooner. Also, if you have any input on how to improve the topic, let me know.

Previous days (If you wanna participate):
Day 32: Samuel L Jackson
Day 33: Justin Timberlake
Day 34: Jamie Lee Curtis
Day 35: Johnny Depp
Day 36: Julianne Moore
Day 37: Ian Mckellen
Day 38: Christopher Walken
Day 39: Anthony Hopkins
Day 40 (Director Day): James Cameron
>Day 41: Robert Downey Jr.

It is a pretty good song:

With me it's a tie between Tony Stark and the character that Jason Melon hangs around with in the movie "Back to School". Both characters are pretty memorable for being bizarre.

why is everyone saying tony stark instead of iron man?

yes i know its one and the same, but how do people differentiate b/w stark and iron man?

everybody says batman, nobody says bruce wayne when talking about ben affleck

nobody calls that guy clark kent, just superman

just wondering is all

interesting

or maybe its cause first user said stark instead of iron man and everyone followed suit

because him acting as Stark is more noteable then when hes "suited up" as Iron Man. those scenes tend to be more memorable where as with batman, in most if not all of his movies pretty much all the notable scenes are of batman not of bruce

I think another point to consider is that Stark's "alter ego" isn't exactly a secret identity by any means. Stark and Iron Man are one in the same (even the public knows Stark is Iron Man), whereas Batman is secretly Bruce Wayne.

Tony Stark/Iron Man. He really nailed that character, it's probably one of the best casting choices for a comic hero *especially* given Downey's own struggles with addiction which make it almost too on the nose.

When I hear his name I think of his past drug problems and what he did while on them.

When I see them I think Iron Man.

On a completely different note, I wonder what his thoughts are on being typecasted into this character. Of course it made him a lot of money so he is probably fine with it and loves it. But does he kinda wish he's recognized for his other roles as well?
