Parents

Don't know what's in dispute here. The mother's name or the father's name? I think there's a typo and it should be "Robert Joseph Elias Jr." son of Robert Joseph Elias and Betty Mcloughlin. I know their names from a distant family member of Downey Sr's but I'm pretty sure it's available at any biography page. I found one here: [1]. Mother was pretty famous in the 20s, though I can't find much on her online expectedly. I did guess however that Robert Joseph Elias was completely Jewish, only because Robert Downey Jr always says his father was Jewish, so it had to come from somewhere.

IMDB isn't a reliable source, having info in it submitted by the layman (like Wikipedia), and a "distant family member" wouldn't be considered reliable either. I Googled it but couldn't find any reliable source for their names. But if one can be found, it should be restored. (The same for their ethnic desginations) Mad Jack 17:03, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Filmography

In the filmography section, I believe you have missed out a movie that he was in. "To Live and Die in L.A." (1985) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.181.230 (talk) 02:16, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Place of birth for Robert Downey Sr is no where to be found

I find it so odd there is no mention anywhere of Robert Downey Sr's birth place ?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.165.104.84 (talk) 17:16, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Career as Director

The article omits the fact that during his career, he sometimes had employment as a 2nd Unit director.
