The films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- especially "Iron Man" -- would not be as famous as they are now if not for Robert Downey Jr.

Since 1970, RDJ has been sharing his acting skills to his fans through numerous movies. Sure enough, the 55-year-old "Iron man" actor has had his fair share of ups and downs in his career, but nothing ever stopped him until he landed his renowned role in the MCU.
