This is so sad….a brilliant life cut short and now his lil girl is left without her dad…. I have always loved Heath, he was such a brilliant actor. You never saw him, you always saw his character, truly believable, awesome actor……

that site i linked seems to be back up.

also apparently the Olsen connection has been debunked/retracted by the NY TImes.

Within ten minutes of hearing this on the news, I had three separate people text-message me the news. I’ve never been a big fan of Ledger, but I guess I’m just enough of a comic book nerd that people felt I’d want to know that Joker was dead.

This is horrible news though. I was just looking at his IMDb profile last night for some reason and was excited to see him involved in the new Terry Gilliam movie along with his upcoming performance in Dark Knight, which I’m looking forward to. I can only wonder what sort of impact this will have on Dark Knight. Even if they’ve completed filming, this has got to throw a few kinks into their advertising plans.

This is such a shame. This guy had an incredible career ahead of him.

Well that comes as a shocker!
I never particularly liked Ledger playing teen-pop star actor (A Knight’s Tale) but I was amazed by his forthcoming performance as the new Joker.

May he Rest in Peace

I’m sorry that’s inappropriate.

He *was* afterall, one among many.

Sad. I really liked him as an actor, and he seemed pretty wicked in interviews as well.

Is that picture really the right one though? I guess we can’t all get too emotional about everything. He is afterall, one among many.
