Cinema Blend's the 10 Best Robert Downey Jr. Movies Where He Isn't Iron Man
From Cinema Blend: For the rest of his life (and long afterward, more than likely), Robert Downey Jr. will be remembered by his biggest fans as Iron Man, having been the one to kick off the enduring Marvel Cinematic Universe by portraying the superhero in 2008. Yet, hopefully you realize that there are plenty of other Robert Downey Jr. movies worth watching. While the "known for" section of his IMDb profile consists of four of his more notable appearances as Tony Stark, and comic book movies have made up most of the previous decade of his career, Robert Downey Jr.'s versatility goes much further than playing a "genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist." For instance, the actor's impeccable comedic timing, which has also been key to his charm when playing Iron Man, might clue you into his background as a funny man, having first broken out (so to speak) as a Saturday Night Live cast member in the mid-1980s.
