American actor Robert Downey Jr. has been acting for many years ... many, many years. He made his screen debut in his father’s movie Pound in 1970 at the tender age of five and he has not looked back since. Working in both TV and film has garnered this 46-year-old both recognition in his acting circle as well as with many fans around the world.
Although the Oscar has eluded RDJ twice (one for Best Actor for his lead role in Chaplin; and the other for Best Supporting Actor in Tropic Thunder), he has won numerous other awards including the Golden Globes, the People’s Choice Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Award to name a few. He was one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People; Entertainment Weekly's Entertainer of the Year and he was number five in People’s Magazine's The Sexiest Man Alive 2009.
