R.I.P.Heath Ledger
1979-2008
.
As we are still in the first few moments of this tragic event, I don't think people realize how much Heath Ledger will be missed. He left an early mark in supporting roles against big players like Mel Gibson in The Patriot and Billy Bob Thornton in Monster's Ball, and he also tried some leading roles in action films like A Knight's Tale, The Order, and Ned Kelly, but it was that beautiful performance in Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain that earned him an Oscar nomination and a new legion of fans. He was a great actor who could really dedicate himself into to the role, and I'm sure the upcoming summer film The Dark Knight would have provided more evidence of how much dedication he had to creating a memorable character. For those who missed it, Ledger played another Bob Dylan alter-ego in I'm Not There, perhaps the only other performer who could match up Blanchett. It is hard to believe that such a gifted performer has been taken from us so soon, and it is a shame that his talent will never be seen again. He will be sorely missed, and every performance of his will never be viewed the same. Goodbye, Heath.
