Robert Downey Jr. On The Comeback Trail

Robert Downey Jr. is one of the greatest actors of his generation. I loved him in Less than Zero, Chaplin, on Ally McBeal and in a million other things. If you want to read a really intriguing article about him in the Los Angeles Times, click here. He is promoting Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang -- which itself is a comeback of sorts for screenwriter and now first time director, Shane Black. The movie also stars Val Kilmer.

Robert is also going to be seen in the upcoming George Clooney directed Good Night & Good Luck, which takes place during the early days of broadcast journalism in 1950's America. It chronicles the real-life conflict between television newsman Edward R. Murrow and Senator Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee. No trailer is available for the movie yet, but if you want to read a bit more about it, click here .
