Not even his career-defining portrayal of Tony Stark aka Iron-Man can put Robert Downey Jr.'s thespic gifts in a pigeonhole. Any movie aficionado worth his salt is aware of the actor's other prized portrayals onscreen, far removed from the multiverse of superheroes that the 58-year-old actor is famous for. The most notable of his performances see Robert embodying as much of Charlie Chaplin's mischief as his melancholy in Richard Attenborough's 'Chaplin' or poking fun at method acting as a movie star who surgically dyes his skin to portray an African-American Vietnam veteran in Ben Stiller's 'Tropic Thunder'—both of which earned him much-deserved Oscar citations.
