IMDB had restrained people from posting in Heath Ledger's page temporarily and hence my posting here. I am in a state of shock over his death. I didn't know he was on drugs that had eventually caused him his life. It's such a waste of talent and a loss not only to the film industry but also to his close friends and family.
God Bless His Soul.
RIP~
It's really sad, especially since it seems to be accidental, although its still early, the reports seem to suggest he might have taken too many sleeping pills which combined with his pneumonia killed him, also i've read a lot about the type of sleeping pills he was taking and there are some really dodgy reports, e.g. people sleepwalking/driving on them, maybe he was asleep but still conscious enough and just kept taking more pills without realising or something like that...
Anyway, Two Hands was probably up there with not only my favourite Heath Ledger films, but my favourite films from any actor
RIP Heath
RIP Heathcliff

Very shocking, very sad. 'Two Hands' remains one of my top ten movies. He could easily have followed Johnny Depp into the pantheon of star character actors.
"Jimmy" in Two Hands was his finest performance IMHO - great performance in a great film.
shareSo true. This was one of his best performances. More people need to see it.
shareI loved him as an actor. My heart goes out to his family and his little girl, who is just the picture of him.
Rose Byrne, who plays Alex in Two Hands commented on his death:
Rose Byrne, a friend who co-starred with Ledger in Two Hands, said Ledger's passing was "deeply tragic".
"Heath was an enigmatic, wonderful and endlessly generous friend and colleague," Byrne said.

everyone's a great bloke once they're dead
shareI just want to stress that Heath died because of an accident - not because he took too many of one kinds of pills, but because of the combinantion of pills. He had trouble sleeping, had a splitting head ache and was feeling too worried - and for that he took some different pills, the combination of which showed fatal. He was NOT on drugs. He was simply working too hard and worring too much about his characters in the different movies, because they were very complex characters and because he wanted to do the best job ever with every character he portraied. He has my deepest respect and I mourn him.
shareI didn't know his first 2 names were Jesus and Christ!!!!! I suppose he kept it a secret because of the obvious embarrassment it would cause if he died, and someone who didn't know him at all used the names in some sort of pathetically self gratifying obituary.
