Heath Ledger:An Actor Truly Missed
This pass week on January the 22nd,we remembered the life of the great actor,Mr.Heath Ledger.
Mr.Ledger was born on April 4 1979 in Perth,Western Australia.He was in films such as 10 Things I hate About You(1999),The Patriot(2000),A Knight's Tale(2001),Monster's Ball(2001),Lord's of Dogtown(2005),Brokeback Mountain(2005),Candy(2006),I'm Not There(2007),The Dark Knight(2008) and The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus(2009).Yes I know,your probably thinking how in the world he did a movie in 2009.He only half of his part in The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus before he passed.For those you you who didn't know that...there you go.
He directed music videos such as ''Cause and Effect''and ''Seduction is Evil(She's Hot)'' songs by N'fa(2006),''Morning Yearning'' song by Ben Harper(2006).''Black Eyed Dog'' song by Nick Drake(2007) and ''King Rat'' song by Modest Mouse(2009).(Again,a project finished before his death.)
One of my personal favorite characters played by Ledger,(and I'm sure it's a lot of people's as well)is The Joker in Christopher Nolan's ''The Dark Knight''.After he played this part,The character of the Joker has has been brought to a whole new level that only a very few actors can reach.Every character is open to interpretation,but Ledger brought such life and brilliance to The Joker that it's hard to find a different perspective on him.Ledger brought a more seriousness to the character and a made him more of a frightening villain,somone that could strike fear into the hearts of his victims,just by his glance.
Thank you Mr.Ledger for the entertainment you have brought to us and the life you've gave to so many characters.
