12) Robert Downey Jr.

Iron Man is the film that changed superhero films with the career renaissance of Robert Downey Jr. Never did he go to film school. The scion of artists, he was acting since he was little and appearing in his father's films. Early performances that stood out include Less Than Zero and Chaplin, which earned him an Academy Award nomination. Despite personal dramas, Downey's revitalization with the Marvel Cinematic Universe made him Hollywood's highest-paid actor, where his charm and persistence cemented his legacy to prove that real-world life and resilience can outscore any formal education in this line of work.
