5. Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr. only has one flaw right now, and it's his marketability. The guy is to damn marketable. He is the most effortlessly talented, funny, good looking, and charismatic actor in the business today. Every producer wants him in their movie and they're willing to pay top dollar to get him. It's difficult to turn those flashy roles down even if they often end up more style and fan service than substance. For a guy who more or less destroyed his entire career and everything that went along with it once already with drugs and alcohol; a second chance at fame and fortune is something he probably doesn't take for granted. That said, hes not on this list for his recent efforts. All they have shown is his top dog status right now. He gets to pick whatever project he wants, and RDJ has chosen underwhelmingly so far. He's in the top five because of his pure talent which can carry almost any movie, even
Iron Man 2, and because if he can manage to trip his way into a few solid scripts over the next ten years it will be impossible consider him anything other than a destination.
