Rock Bottom - Robert Downey Jr.

In the mid-90s, Robert Downey Jr. was widely considered the most gifted actor of his generation. But while critics were comparing him to Chaplin, the LAPD was seeing a man spiraling toward a tragic end. From a high-speed arrest on Sunset Boulevard with a .357 Magnum to the infamous afternoon he wandered into a neighbor's home and fell asleep in a child's bed, Downey’s life became a series of "front-page" disasters that nearly silenced one of cinema’s brightest lights.
