Announcing the Winner of the American Actor Tournament!

Robert Downey Jr., aged 47 (April 4th, 1965), was born in New York City, and has been a well known figure in the entertainment world. He made his screen debut at the age of 5, and even dropped out of High School to become an actor. Next to his prominent acting career, he is also well known for his past alcohol and drug addictions, which have put him on probation and landed him in jail several times (has even been banned from entering Japan). Having been sober for nearly 9 years now, he has made a significant comeback in Hollywood, starring in blockbusting hits such as Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes. He currently holds two Golden Globes and a BAFTA, as well as other awards and nominations.

Thanks to all who voted in this tournament, and the others that I put on recently. Sadly, however, this marks the end of my tournaments for a while. I do not know how long I will hold off on making them; I'll be on a month-long vacation, and who knows what will happen after that. I may put on more, I may not. But hopefully you guys will be okay with whatever happens. Thanks again for your support and encouragement. I hope you all have wonderful summers!
