Why is he so much bigger than him? Younger generations typically are bigger due to better nutrition.

Jr has such gay face in the OPs picture!

RDJ looks like RDS's ventriloquist dummy, down to the Charlie McCarthy tuxedo and stupid facial expression.

Someone who had no business being a father.

I was reading about all his counter-culture films. I've never heard of any of them (except "Putney Swope"). Are they any good?

r2 RDJ always has gay face. Something about his watery eyes. Never found him attractive.

R4 is correct. Thread closed forever.

RD Sr. sang a mean version of 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams.'

I saw a Sr film in college thirty years ago. Gave me the creeps, but I was very stoned.

How long did he hold conservatorship over his son?

In my youth, my friends spent a whole summer saying:

“Putney Swope sez the Bormann 6 girl has got to have Soul!”

R1, because Junior's mama, Elsie Ann Ford, was tiny.

Junior made his film debut at age 5 in Senior's movie "Pound", which was originally rated X (that's how Sr. rolled).
