We all know that Robert Downey Jr. is a great actor as an Oscar nomination for 1992’s Chaplin proves just that, but the actor has never had huge success with the movies that he has starred in. That is until now as Downey Jr. is going through something in his career which people are calling the Iron Man Effect. Robert without a doubt is a great actor and he has starred in some superb movies, my favorite being Heart and Souls which is a story about four lost souls that once used to be his guardian angels during childhood, who are now looking to enter the afterlife.
It does seem a shame that it takes Downey Jr. to take on the role of a comic book super hero to actually get the success that he truly deserves. We know that he has had some struggle in his life with the whole drug problem, but it is nice to see that the actor has been given a chance to shine once more, and boy has he done that in a big way.
2008 looks as though it could be the best year for Robert’s career, because not only has he already had huge success with Iron Man but the movie world seems to be getting exited with his role in the action-comedy Tropic Thunder as well as The Soloist which starts Oscar winner Jamie Foxx.
