Heath Ledger gone too soon at 28. He will be missed.
It's very, very sad! :( He was one of my favorite actors. And I felt like I saw him rise in his success. I saw him first on ROAR and was like who is this young actor. I was so thankful I got to see Roar on primetime tv...nbc or some other back in 1997 when I was in high school. Then I was very disappointed when it went off the air after one season but was so happy when he broke out into mainstream films. I'll never forget him singing "Can't take my eyes off you" in 10 Things I Hate About You. And I loved him in Broke Back Mountain and Casanova. Now I need to go out and see the rest of his films, especially the one where he plays Bob Dylan.
When I heard he died it was on Katie Couric's CBS news show. It's reputable..but I thought they are lying. They are so wrong! I was saying to myself. Then I wished it had been someone else...not him. He had so much potential and I was looking forward to seeing him in so many films to come. He was my generation and one year older than me. Also, from what I could see he was a likeable guy who didn't court media and the paparazzi like some of these other young celebs. He lived a quiet life and I have to respect him for that. I'm definitely going to miss this one.
If anything good could of come out of this it is he was done shooting Dark Knight, the Batman Begins sequel, which I have been waiting for (over a year). So the Joker will live on this year! Hope it is a fond farewell to such a great and young actor.
