There's a Downey Unstoppables commercial with an unflattering depiction of a woman as its star. I assumed it was Amy Sedaris in costume. I went to the iSpot.tv site and they have the commercial but were silent on the actress
 The YouTube video had speculation in the comments. Much of it on Kate Mulgrew.  I wonder is this is part of the marketing campaign and an ad agency is trying to throw off people.

I found Sedaris was in a bunch of Downey commercials from about 2011 to 2014, a couple of which I now recognize. So I am reasonably sure it is her. I think Downey is trying to create a commercial to get people's attention.

That's the main reason for making them.

Not Sedaris. Not Mulgrew. Not anybody in particular, but whoever it is is at least 20 years younger. What's the upside in hiring a familiar face and making her unrecognizable?

Beats me.  Let's ask the Marketing folks at KFC.  😊

... who make no secret about who's under the makeup. In fact, they capitalize on it.
