# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Robert John Downey Jr. made his debut at five in his father's 1970 film Pound, spent the '80s rising through Brat Pack teen movies, and earned his first Academy Award nomination playing Charlie Chaplin in 1992. A cycle of arrests and rehab derailed him through the late '90s — he won a Golden Globe on Ally McBeal in 2000, then got fired in 2001 after more drug charges, finally getting sober in 2003. Mel Gibson paid his insurance bond to restart his career with The Singing Detective that year. Iron Man in 2008 made him the axis of the Marvel Cinematic Universe across ten films through Avengers: Endgame, while roles in Tropic Thunder and Sherlock Holmes stacked more nominations. In 2023 he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor as Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer. His films have grossed over $14.3 billion worldwide.
