8 Awesome Instances of Actors Performing Work That's Beneath Them

5. Mel Gibson, Jamie Foxx, and Gary Shandling Brain Storm a Robert Downey Jr. Tribute

Robert Downey Jr. is no stranger to troubled times, and because of this point, his immaculate return in the form of films like Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, Zodiac, and Iron Man was greatly applauded. This Funny or Die video brings in one of Downey's greatest friends (and no stranger to public shunning) Mel Gibson in to brain storm just what to say about RDJ's glorious return. Along for the ride are Gary Shandling and Jamie Foxx, who all rip at each other, at Robert, and play exaggerated versions of themselves in this great short that proves that you're never too much of a jerk to be able to laugh at yourself. http://youtu.be/zRIeT5R7edU Still rooting for you, Mel.

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
