what a shame
1979 - 2008
News broke today about the death of actor Heath Ledger at the age of 28. After starting off his career as a just another good looking teen hearthrob, Ledger had, in the past couple of years, started to make a name for himself as a serious talent, including his Oscar nod in 2005 for Brokeback Mountain. He was to star along side Christian Bale in the newest Batman film, The Dark Knight, as The Joker...a role that potentially could have taken his career (and fame) to a new level. Hopefully the director, Christopher Nolan, will be able to finish the film, because it is the 1 movie I am most looking forward to this year, even though I was not convinced about casting Ledger as the most famous comic book villain of all time. No doubt his performance in this film will take on a life of its own now that he is no longer with us.
A sad day. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Yeah. I liked this guy. He was a good looking guy who could act. Nothing special. But definitely not crap.
I bet it was coke that got him. He was found in an apartment owned by the Olsens, and we all know that they love the yeyo.
Yeah, he seemed like a cool guy…and looked like he was going to be a pretty good actor. Part of me is hoping it was coke or heroin and not just an accidental sleeping pill OD...that would just be beyond tragic.
I'm still so upset by all of this. Such a sad turn of events.
