I first heard the news from my brother; and I became so shocked! 
He was just 1 year younger than me, and had so much to live for; a successful career, his daughter, his family etc. etc.! His death is so surprising as I never in a million years thought he was one of those who were to die that young!
It's always SO difficult and incredibly painful to lose a loved one; so I can imagine what his family is going through now!
May he rest in peace!!

i heard and i thought it was a joke....then i looked it up on the internet and flipped out. i thought he was a great actor....especially in th Patriot - and i am looking foward to the new Batman movie with him as the joker.
When once asked what I would do if I met Jim I said that I would give him so many hugs because he is so damn HOT and then I would tell him to get married. Response, "he is hot, but...nevermind."

I don't think he was expiermenting with drugs. He was taking sleeping pills because he couldn't get any sleep, and he said the pills wernt working for him. So maybe he was so desperate for sleep that he took more than he was suppose to and it didn't agree with him. That's just my speculation.sprousefan23 wrote:RIP poor Heath, that's exactly why i don't plan on experimenting with drugs, it can be fatal.

In the beginning I thought Heath Ledger was just a charming young guy, doing the typical break-through moves to fit in and find his way in Hollywood. Like taking a role in 10 Things I hate about You.
Little did I know that he would suprise me in a few movies after that. He even became the reason I would like to see movies where I didn't believe in. He had a spark only a few actors have and he convinced me in a few 'smaller' roles. "When he finds the right movie -I thought- he's going to show us what he realy can and become one of the big guys!"
Then, when I saw The Brothers Grimm, I was stunned by his performance. The quite promissing actor managed to hide himself completely in a character that he created himself. And he had all those little moves and details while doing it. Above that -don't know if the term exists in English- he also knew what comic timing was. And to do those things in such a way, proofed that there was a great talent in that guy. It's a good thing Terry Gilliam noticed that!
I was right. Most of the people still thought he was just a good looking actor being used to get young girls at the theatre. And then there was Brokeback Mountain. Ledger blew me away with such a strong performance. He just became this Ennis Del Mar and played him with such a depth ... amazing!
Grimm and Brokeback From that point on I just knew he was one of the (maybe even the) greatest talents of his generation. And it just went on. His performance in I'm Not There (and Candy) were also Great with a big G. You could also see he took his job as seriously as can be. No wonder he got stuck in his head, playing three confused and dark-minded characters in a row.
When the news came out (after long speculation including lots of big names) he was going to play The Joker, I just knew he was the right guy. I even felt the need to defend this choice, (and I'm not a fanboy or something stupid like that, I'm (was) one of those damn critics, lol) when lots of people were screaming that this teenage-idol wasn't good enough. I realy believed in Heath Ledger. And I was sure this was only the beginning with many great roles to follow. When you see the trailer, you have to agree he's stunning in those few flashes.
Two weeks ago I saw the first pictures of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, the new Terry Gilliam. (I had this inteview with Gilliam saying he only wanted Ledger for the role) Now those opening-scene-photo's just give me the creeps. The film opens with his character hanging dead. If I'm not wrong, the shooting for this one wasn't over, so this movie will never make it to the screen and The Dark Knight will indeed be the last movie starring Heath Ledger.
It's a huge loss for his family, friends and the world of movies.
