What has been your greatest Hollywood comeback story? Before I mention mine, let me state that this topic does not refer to anybody who's had a string of box office bombs before he got another hit. I'm talking about someone who has battled personal issues only to come back to Hollywood and to have found major success since the come back.
My pick is this guy:
He was always a talented actor, even before he was Tony Stark. He came very close to ending up very much like River Phoenix 15 years ago: dead of a drug overdose due to long term use. Fortunately, he was able to turn his life around. Now instead of "what might have been" we now can say "what his next films will be." Now we know what RDJ is like when he's clean.
