...talented, eccentric and magnetic leading man. Later this summer, Downey will appear as an Australian Method actor who is overly committed to playing a black soldier in Ben Stiller's raucous satire of filmmaking and war movies, Tropic Thunder.

...before opening.RR: Cool. What do you think babies taste like?CLB: Um, probably like white bread and ketchup.RR: Sounds delicious.Nick J. O’DonovanRR: So tell me who you play in “Blasted.”NJO: I play Ian. He’s a journalist and member of some shady organization or other. He’s racist, homophobic, generally unpleasant, and not the kind of person you’d want to meet, let alone be stuck in a hotel room with.RR: Does anyone you know inspire you to act out those characteristics?NO: Fortunately...
