hi, i dont know what to mention first. i think you are the greatest thing since sliced bread. you are a great actor and my best frnd agrees with me when i say you are pretty good looking to be 43(not like thats old!). you are one of my favorite actors, right next to Charlie Chaplin. By the way, you did a great job playing him and totally did his name some justice. When i heard "Smile" and saw that you sang it, it was like a slap in the face cuz i didnt think that you sang too. I havent had the honor of seeing Iron Man yet, but i hope to see more of you on the big screen! happy trails!
