Anyone who saw a recent episode of Ally McBeal tasted Mr. Downey's extraordinary abilities. That's not surprising since Mr. Downey nearly won a best actor Oscar for his 1992 portrayal of Charlie Chaplin. Yet he keeps getting into trouble. On Nov. 25, police found him with cocaine. If a court finds that he violated his parole, he could be returned to jail.
