However, his professional reputation fell because of these mistakes, and getting new roles was a dispiriting struggle for some time. However, the producers of the first Iron Man were convinced that he would be perfect as the titular character, not only for his considerable talent, but that Tony Stark had also struggled with substance-abuse issues of his own in the comic books, namely alcoholism.
