Robert Downey Jr. has had a roller coaster of a career ever since his breakthrough fame when he was a young man. Starring in great 80’s teen films such as Weird Science (1985) and Back to School (1986) gave him overnight success and put him in the crowd of powerful teen actors known as the “brat pack.”
However, the fame and success might have been too much for him as he slowly began to descend into a life of hedonism. He got in trouble with the law and even spent some time in jail during this bad period of his life.
Most people thought that he was going to be down forever and would not regain his stardom status, much like many actors of his time failed to do. However, the one thing that Downey had was talent, and it was up to him to decide when he was going to straighten out his life and fulfill his marvelous destiny.
He worked himself up through the ranks, sobered up off of drugs, and eventually landed the role that set his career off again in Iron Man (2008). Almost like déjà vu, he was an all star again. Women loved him and men respected him as he set off to regain his stardom and his regal status among movie goers.
The lesson that Downey’s life exclaims is the importance of seriousness when pursuing a career in the film industry. There are many people who come and go, believing the film industry to be nothing more than a society that caters to their every whim. In fact, it is a business and it requires the same determination, respect and consistency that any other field of work requires.
Conquer laziness and inconsistency, and you will find your path into the film industry.
