Robert Downey Jr. was at one time touted as one of Hollywood's best young actors; he had started with small roles in Chaplin (1992), and then his life began to plummet downward due to his addiction issues and multiple arrests in the late '90s and early 2000s. For years, his life was filled with minimal roles and public scrutiny. He made an astonishing comeback in the role of Tony Stark in Iron Man (2008). This role revived his career and transformed him into an international icon.
