Robert Downey Jr.

Born April 4th, 1965 in New York City, NY, Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe-winning actor Robert John Downey, Jr. rose to stardom in Hollywood in the late '80s and early 90's. Many critics had considered the actor to be one of the most versatile of his generation. Despite that, Downey's tumultous offscreen life and drug addiction made it difficult for him to find success in the late '90s. After cleaning up, his breakout role as Tony Stark in Iron Man helped audiences take notice of what critics saw in him. Since then, he's become a household name and has starred in many well-received blockbuster films.
