Robert Downey Jr. is urging Hollywood studios to hire him because he's the cheapest actor of his generation. The actor damaged his career so badly after repeated spells in prison and rehabilitation, serving time for drug offenses, his salary plummeted - making him a bargain by Hollywood standards.

Downey Jr., who was reportedly paid just $100-a-day to star in low-budget thriller Game 6 last year, says, "I'm probably the best deal in town, literally bargain basement. Right now all these guys you've never heard of are making $8 million a movie, so I'm still a good deal."
