thebitterguyRobert Downey Jr? Hmmm...
Okay, it's not quite Ms. Saigon casting (Johnathon Pryce as The Engineer), and he's certainly got both the acting chops and the personal experience to play a succesful guy who crashes and burns because of alcohol dependancy.
But, man, he's just too damn mange to play Tony Stark. I'll just have to see him with a mustache.

It's definitely not Timothy Dalton or Erol Flynn, which is the sort of the visual style of the books, but I think it'll be interesting.

It is said that the term originated in Italian-Canadian kitchens as a type of mockery of Anglophone Canada's bland cultural and culinary habits.
I know he can pull it off, there's no doubt about that.
