Rol liked Iron Man, too:

Finally we have the world’s undisputed Greatest Living Actor in the role of Stark’s backstabbing father figure, Obadiah Stane. I couldn’t have been more excited when I heard they’d cast The Dude himself in this role, though I was also a little concerned that they’d try to make him too much of a cartoon baddy.
