@didyoucatchthis: Robert Downey Jr.’s Most Infamous SNL Character Long before he became Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. spent a season on Saturday Night Live during the show's turbulent 1985–86 era. Among the strangest sketches from that season was "Suitcase Boy," a bizarre character who literally lived inside a suitcase. The sketch was widely panned and is often remembered as one of the oddest moments in SNL history. Yet it serves as a fascinating reminder that even Hollywood’s biggest stars have a few forgotten misfires in their past. Sometimes the road to superstardom includes living in a suitcase.
