He did this show when he was just out of prison and no one would hire him. This was the beginning of his arc of redemption. I have a ton of respect for the man. Literally from Best Actor Oscar nominee to rock bottom addict to the worlds best known working actor. He IS Ironman. Bravo, dude.
THIS IS INCORRECT. Originally Robert Downey Jr. was going to be "The One" that Ally finally falls in love with, etc. But during shooting, RDJ was arrested for drugs again. Originally the television show appeared committed to working with him. After all, the troubled actor and the show had been good for each other: Downey won a Golden Globe, and the show got a boost in its then-sagging ratings. When Downey was arrested, they had to suddenly cancel the scheduled Tuesday appearance in Los Angeles with singer Vonda Shepard to promote a soundtrack album from Ally McBeal. On the album, Downey does a duet with Sting of "Every Breath You Take." Downey also sings a song that he wrote called "Snakes." So he screwed the show _and_ the Vonda Shepard album too. Downey was arrested just when the season ending and last story arcs were about to be filmed. They couldn't film him as the hero they wanted to. Instead there is just a NOTE left on a Snowman because he "skipped town to Chicago" to shoot around RDJ's absence. They had to start up with an entirely different person to build up to the level they had intended for the Ally-RDJ storyline they wanted to make. "He is ironman." -- Ironman was a rich ass who lived off the wealth his father's company created, always looking at "the little people who don't really matter" with contempt. That is Ironman's origin, and he always continues to have the "I know more than anyone around me" personality (that continues through all the Ironman movies). Not really the biggest stretch RDJ has had to do for a role.
His own Father, was The Cause of His Addictions, introducing Him To marijuana at age 6 & Then Alcohol by Age 8. Robert Downey, Jr. Overcame his Addictions, with The Help of His Wife. He is Awesome!!!
this show saved his life I'm so glad Robert recovered I met him once in NYC he gave me photographs and talked with my kids for a while such a humble nice guy
How would the audience react to hearing this song at the end of Avengers: Infinity War (as we saw them being taken from us)! I was going to write instead "having Tony sing that as Ironman in one of its movies" - to Pepper Potts? Or rather to a villain Ironman is tracking down! I don't know which one would be more nervous.

Hey beautiful human you dont have to be young and beautiful to be worthy of romance, hope that you receive the romance you deserve because you are lovely.
O you really NEED to watch the series, from the beginning back story of Ally & Billy is sniffing each other's backends, to the end & every moment in between. Search for the best joke challenge...then start at S1E1
With that look on his face when he said every breath you take, I think my heart skipped a beat. 😘😍☺ he is giving super serious competition to sting can't believe it wow. What a talented man.
I was so upset when he left but I’m glad he did or may not have got clean. You can tell he’s not doing so great here compared to when appeared in Elton John’s music video I Want Love he looked healthier.
@@donnabittner69 I'm not saying he didn't I didn't notice he was on drugs but when you compare this video to I Want Love you can see the difference is what I'm saying
I loved Ally, and when he came, it changed but in an unexpected awesome sort of way. I LOVED Ally and Larry Paul. It broke my heart when he left. And Season 5 was terrible. He did so amazing in this role, especially when you realize that he was struggling at the time.
How much I loved this innovative series. One of the best American series they ever produced. I didn't remember the scene with sting. Such a great performer and so full of charm. Both are 😀
“The song is very, very sinister,” Sting said to the BBC, “and *gly. And people have actually misinterpreted it as being a gentle little love song, when it's quite the opposite.” This is the story which everyone now accepts as truth: although it seems sunny, it's dark. Scary, stalkerish dark
This was not early in his career, this was early in his comeback. He was acting in the 80s. One of my favourite films of his is in the 90s. He only gets better with age.
This genius fought what i have been fighting for twenty years. And he made this season the best of all. It great to know that Sting invites him on stage off and on
One of the best fictional bars i wanted to visit everyday. Vonda Shepard singing every night plus Sting, Elton John and Barry White takes a visit unnoticed. Cool.
Although this is from the later years of Ally McBeal in it's still a wonderful be example of the magic of the show, the characters (& actors). ALLY MCBEAL is one of the most underrated shows.
Adoro la mirada enamorada de Robert Downey Jr, es hermoso sentir que te vean así. Disfrute de esa mirada de mi esposo, lo extraño tanto. Diosito lo cuide porque fue un hombre extraordinario. Siempre lo amaré
I grow up watching this series and love it so much. Every episode is the best, I remember this episode there is scene Robert downey kiss a man. Love ally McBeal so much from indonesia
I'm a lawyer, we had crowds of young women joining the profession as a result of this show - and they all hated it. Day to day boring, unglamorous slog which is nothing like TV. I can't think of any of those who came in as a result of the Ally McBeal effect who are still working in law off of the top of my head.

Wow....he sings fantastic! Sting anyway, he's a hero of my youth....back then, still now and will ever be! ❤❤ But hey....Robert surprises me! KUDOS! That was really good! ❤
Amazing rendition knowing it's a love song from a jilted ex whose turned into a stalker... stings genius really was shown in how he crafted this song...
Depends, are you willing to have put up with the decades of drug and alcohol abuse and the destruction of your family to get one? Because that's what his wife had to deal with and, in the end, it tore their family apart. Sadly, they divorced in 2004 just a few years before he turned everything around and played Iron Man. Of course his second wife has to be thankful that she fell for him and helped him resolve the rest of his personal issues.
He did this show when he was just out of prison and no one would hire him. This was the beginning of his arc of redemption. I have a ton of respect for the man. Literally from Best Actor Oscar nominee to rock bottom addict to the worlds best known working actor. He IS Ironman. Bravo, dude.

What is the name of this serie or movie?
I love this song. When it came out my room mate at the time used to play it over and over. It brings back such great memories and laughs we had.
“The song is very, very sinister,” Sting said to the BBC, “and *gly. And people have actually misinterpreted it as being a gentle little love song, when it's quite the opposite.” This is the story which everyone now accepts as truth: although it seems sunny, it's dark. Scary, stalkerish dark
Can't get over how Sting composed a song about a controlling stalker that sounds like a love song.
People dont know it
It's depends
indeed
I hear this song played on weddings and it makes me happy.
Listen to One way or another by blondie. Well, that one doesn't sound like a love song but still.
You just knew Downey will be a legend even this early of his career
This was not early in his career, this was early in his comeback. He was acting in the 80s. One of my favourite films of his is in the 90s. He only gets better with age.
When he did this show he had already a nomination for an Academy Award as best actor years earlier.
The first movie I saw with RDJ was a film called Tuff Turf where he co-starred with James Spader and Kim Richards.
I loved loved LOVED this show! And I too was heartbroken when RDJ left the show. When he sang River, it was transformative. 💕💕
Cant see RDJ, without thinking about the ending of Endgame...
🥺
Yeah.
I love him 3000
Robert is the sexiest man, I love his expressions, his smile, his voice
Si todo eso y sus bellos ojos....❤❤❤
And here I thought I couldn't love him more
This genius fought what i have been fighting for twenty years. And he made this season the best of all. It great to know that Sting invites him on stage off and on
True beauty comes from the inside and shines on the outside no matter what age you are.
One of the greatest moment of the show! RDJ is perfect, no doubt his career was lauched to Marvel
Brings back memories. I love Ally McBeal
RDJ ... I love you 3000 ❤️
I have been A RDJ fan since the 80s...still am today ❤
His true talent just keeps on shining through.
Big Ally fan as well. Great cast from the beginning to the final episode. Never missed an episode.

Iron Man and Cat Grant 😍
And Pee-wee Herman it would seem lol

Depends, are you willing to have put up with the decades of drug and alcohol abuse and the destruction of your family to get one? Because that's what his wife had to deal with and, in the end, it tore their family apart. Sadly, they divorced in 2004 just a few years before he turned everything around and played Iron Man.
