This is really unfortunate. Heath had a lot of potential and its especially sad that he died before he and the acting community could realize it.

Lots of people on eBay are cashing in on this Ledger craze. Autographs that hardly sold on eBay yesterday for around $10 are going for like $200 now.

Man, I love how all you can think about is AUTOGRAPHS

R.I.P.

yeah psyburn you're being a stupid fuck

Young good lookin' guy with a bright acting future... loved him in the Patriot..

It wasn't suicide reportedly, just an accidental overdose on sleeping pills and he had pneumonia when he died apparently...

RIP - I liked his acting skills

Why dont you go and make a tribute film like you always intend to do with people and their misfortunes.

Seriously...

Pretty decent role to be rememebered as.

i too would like to be remembered as a clown that kills people.

also: a gay cowboy.

Spot reserved for Tim Curry...

and you will be remembered as dragon x you retard.

basically it's sad he died yeah, but come on no serious actor wants to be remembered as a comic book character.

Although I found this pretty funny you have to admit that the Joker is a pretty fucking iconic character!

eh. first off no one has seen him in this role that he is SO GOOD in, and idk if I was an actor I would not like to be known as "that guy who played the Joker".

I don't know him well, but this is obviously upsetting.

I'm also upset that this will be the only 'This Generation' Batman movie we'll see the Joker in, most likely! Unless they recast it, I guess, but...

maybe I am totally bonkers but isn't this the first time a Batman movie is repeating villains?

they will probably go through the gamut again before another Joker is recast and we'll all be old by then.

i wonder if they killed joker off in the end of dark night, because i seriously hate when they get new people to play the same old enemies... it never works right...

but other then what i personally feel

this sucks, he's dead, bleh bleh bleh.

I thought the movie was post production, isn't it still coming out?

He meant in a different movie.

They won't be using the joker for a long, long time (hopefully) so there's no worrying about Heath Ledger not playing him again in the next movie.


edit: also, whoever jumped all over psyburn up there, shut the hell up. You read far too much into his statement. He wasn't upset because he didn't get to sell his autograph, he was just stating that other people were cashing in.

Yeah, it was finished two months ago...so they won't have to recast the Joker.

Anyway, this sucks, etc.  I haven't seen much of his other work other than Monster's Ball and Brokeback...but he wasn't a horrible actor by any means.
