She found me, a snarling rescue pet, and loved me back to life. That's why I am here. Thank you. Here's my little secret: I needed this job more than it needed me. Chris knew it, Emma made sure that she wrapped - surrounded me with one of the greatest cast and crews of all time." Robert Downey Jr. said.
