Twin-Pack of Guys - 20+ icons of Robert Downey jr. & Karl Urban for guys20in20
At first glance, Round 79 over at guys20in20 is a rather usual one. You choose a guy, make 20 (or more) icons of him, and that's it. But - and that's a big but - not this time. This time, we had to include one of the guys in the banners for the rounds in 2016 and our second choice in the set.
My first choice was Robert Downey jr. Like none other actor, he's a living, breathing synonym for overcoming even the lowest low in life. As you might remember, he even went to jail back in the 90s before getting his footing back and rising up to be one of the most popular actors of our time. Very inspirational for your own bad times, that's all I'm saying.
For my second choice, I picked an actor that has, similar to Jeremy Renner, been lurking in the back of my mind, ever since I first saw the second and third part of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy - Karl Urban. Back then, he played Eomer, leader of the riders of Rohan. But it should take until seeing "Almost Human" for the first time (which was in late 2015) to push Karl to the front.
Last but not least, the "Remember 2016" icon space goes to an actor that has been taken from us way too soon, and in probably the freakiest way ever - Anton Yelchin. He also is kind of a bridge between the other two guys. Robert did "Charlie Bartlett" with him, and Karl was one of his teammates on board of the starship Enterprise in the "Star Trek" Reboot.
Enjoy!

NOTES
Pics used in this batch: Incredibly Downey Jr., Pinterest, Google Image Search
01-bad boy: mugshot from 1999, when RDJ was arrested in California
02-bad habits: I'm a non-smoker, so people who do are usually not in my good corner (but there are exceptions ;) )
07-new year's pledge: I usually don't do them, but if I would, more sports would be high up on this short list
08-plus one: with his wife Susan, who I think is the one most responsible for Robert's turnaround
10-uniform: the only character-based icon in the batch - Robert in "Tropic Thunder"
cat05: Karl as one of my favorite characters (next to Bones McCoy and John Kennex) - "Black Hat" from the movie "Priest" (one of those movies where one character is ten times better as the whole movie itself XD)
ac01: I love the chemistry between RDJ and Jude Law in their two Sherlock Holmes movies. They keep each other in balance, and their banter is one of the highlights in both movies.
ac05: I still have to figure out what Robert said to Jeremy in that situation, but getting him cracking up that much while posing in the press room of the Academy Awards 2013 is too cute to not use it XD
