Previously known to be a talented yet troubled actor because of his involvement with drugs, Robert John Downey Jr. fabulously has risen from
his downfall to once more shine in the spotlight as one of the finest thespians
of his generation. A son of independent filmmaker Robert Downey Sr. and actress
Elsie Ford, acting inevitably has become an inseparable part in Robert's life
from the day he was born on April 4, 1965 in New York City. Gradually getting
familiar with show business supported by his mother's influence, surely it did
not take a long time for him to develop a fascination in performing, even to
begin his initial step in the field, thanks to his father's decision to include
him in his 1970 effort of "Pound" at a mere age of 5. The fact that
he had to live in different places like Connecticut, Paris, Woodstock, London,
and California due to Downey Sr.'s profession apparently did not prevent him to
nurture his interest for the boy then enthusiastically joined the Stagedoor
Manor, a performing arts summer camp, to hone his skills in portraying
characters, improvisation, also vocal technique.
