Obviously, everyone had already heard of him. Or already seen him on the tv, newspapers, etc etc. It's the australian actor, who appeared on that famous movie with the most classical vilan quote of the theaters:
"Why so serious?"
Who is him? Heathcliff Andrew Ledger. Adorable, talented, handsome, charming and smart.
But, the disaster knocked on the door: he was found dead in this apartament in New York, with only 28 years. Ledger just had completed the scenes from the great blockbuster, Batman: The Dark Knigh, which he did the paper of the criminal Joker. He left his daugther Matilda (the mother being the actress Michelle Williams, who he met on the Brokeback Mountain movie, and who he was married to 2005 untill 2007)
Heath Ledger was born in Perth, in 4th. april of 1979, and started to do amateur theater at the age of 10. When he reached 16, he moved to Sydney to try the career as an actor. Soon, he got papers in
movies to the australian TV.
After working in independent movies, Heath moved to Los Angeles and acted in the movie 10 Things I Hate In You, where he sings the music "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You", one song which Muse has covered (and which I love). The movie is based on a Sheakespeare book.
He worked in the movie Lords of Dogtown and the movie Casanova. Casanova was a movie that I've only seen one small part, but I loved what I watched. I'll try to watch it completaly. Ledger interpretation is flawless and the movie is quite funny.
In 2005, he did the part of Ennis Del-Mar in the movie that received Oscar nominees, Brokeback Mountain, which two cowboys fall in love and keep their affair in secret. At the same year, he did the movie Brothers Grimm, which is absolutely fantastic. The special effects, sets and costumes are perfect, therefore the plot.
In the movie Candy, in 2006, he played the characterer Dan. The movie tells the story about a love triangle: Candy (interpreted by Abbie Cornish); Dan and heroin. The couple, Candy and Dan, are both poor and drug addicted. It tells how they got the money to pay the drugs, and it shows the both sides of the coin; how being a drug addicted is fun sometimes and in the majority of the cases, bring terrible things. In the year next to it, he worked as Bob Dylan in the movie I'm Not There.
In 2008, he was chosen to be the Joker, the funny villain of Batman. In this movie, the Joker treats the city of Gotham with explosions and murderes. The Joker himself says he's a "guy without plans, he just do things".
Now... My opnion about the movie... Ok, it sucked. The effects are good, the set (CHICAGO! I've already been there! :D ) and everything else; but the plot was really weak. I only watched because of the Joker. I mean, that ridiculous Batman's voice was totally unecessary.
Anyway, I started to watch Batman's old cartoons (to recover my childhood, maybe?) . The cartoon's Joker is completaly different from the Ledger's Joker. The cartoon one, for example, is funny, he makes little jokes every single time, and he isn't scary. Ledger, otherwise, raises goosebumps on your arms! His acting was impressing, and it was the best acting I've seen so far. Besides Voldemort, I think he's my favorite bad guy.
