Why does he stick with Marvel and this Holmes ...?


He is such a fantastic actor, but it's sad that he goes for the paycheck and not for beautiful interesting character.

Is he too old to get good offers? Or do the producers/directors avoid him, because of his current image of playing self-centered characters?

Adec, you're probably right. I don't think he has to worry about the money anymore. My assumption is, that he does Tony Stark as long as he's physically able. RDJ is a born entertainer, has worked to come out in a huge way all his life, and you see that he's enjoying the applause and appreciation by the fans. When he isn't Iron Man anymore, the majority of those fans-4-eva will vanish one ofter the other. What he has left then, is enough money to follow his own projects with his company Team Downey. ... Or at least I hope that's what his plans are.

has a thing for the dude portraying the dude playin' the dude, disguised as another dude
