Actors Who Starred In Multiple Biopics
Robert Downey, Jr.
Robert Downey Jr. beat out a slew of other actors, including Jim Carrey, for the role of Charlie Chaplin. Donning a mustache and the black bowler hat that the iconic British figure was known for, Downey received universal acclaim for his efforts in the 1992 biopic. He was nominated for both an Academy award and a Golden Globe. In 2009, Downey starred opposite Jamie Foxx in another biopic. In “The Soloist,” Downey played the real life “Los Angeles Times” journalist who discovered that a homeless man suffering from schizophrenia was actually a once forgotten soloist, played by Jamie Foxx.
