I personally know him as Tony Stark as Iron Man in
Iron Man,
Iron Man 2,
Iron Man 3. My first time seeing Iron Man was a few years ago and I just remember so much action and funny moments, especially for his character. Every time when some cool action packed moment comes he always says something hilarious and sometimes you can't stop laughing.

So far I don't think he's working on any movies right now, but he has 3 upcoming movies. The first one is Chef (2014), the second on is The Judge (2014), and his third that I'm really excited for is The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). Throughout his life making movies he has made a bunch of money. Richard III (1995) $50,000, Danger Zone (1996) $5000,000, Game 6 (2005) $100/day, Iron Man (2008) $500,000, Sherlock Holmes (2009) $9,000,000, Iron Man 2 (2010) $10,000,000, Due Date (2010) $12,000,000, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) $15,000,000, and The Avengers (2012) $50,000,000.
Unfortunately he dropped out of Santa Monica High School to pursue acting full time. His father introduced him to drugs, offering him a marijuana joint at age 8. Has been arrested from at least 1996 to 2001. He has been married twice, he's currently in his second marriage. His first marriage was to Deborah Falconer from May 29, 1992 - April 26, 2004 and had 1 son. His second marriage is to Susan Downey August 27, 2005 - Present and had another son, he kept his first son from his first marriage. He's been to a couple of rehabilitation centers and a lot of other bad things. I'm not going to name everything he's done with his life, but make sure you read it and see how he was then and now. Lets hope that he stays that way for the rest of his life.
