Actor Heath Ledger Is Found Dead
(news via NY Times)
By Sewell Chan
The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment building at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, according to the New York City police. Mr. Ledger was 28.
At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play and said they found pills near body.
Mr. Ledger, a native of Perth, Australia, won acclaim for his role as a co-star in “Brokeback Mountain”, a 2005 film. The film, based on a short story by Annie Proulx about two cowboys who fall in love, won critical acclaim.
Reviewing the film in The New York Times, the critic Stephen Holden wrote, “Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean, sinewy character. It is a great screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn.”
Calls by The New York Times to Mara Buxbaum, a publicist for Mr. Ledger, and Steve Alexander, the actor’s agent, were not immediately returned this afternoon.

What a waste. He was only 28, too.

Does that honestly even matter? While I had never followed his work, my condolences go out to his family and friends.Originally Posted by email2003

It's his swan song now, so I hope it's good. I also hope they don't replace him with George Clooney again.

Shooting of that is complete they were adding the finishing touches from what I know, so it shouldn't have much effect on the movie itself--maybe a delay in the release or something to that effect.So what happens to the "Dark Knight" movie now!?
Very sad news to hear, he was a talented actor and a shame to lose him so young.

When they stated he died, that's the first thing that came to mind. Also, everyone here at the office where I work were wondering too!
I don't think the movie is done, right?

Man, this is horrible. What a talented guy.
Looks like drugs, according to NYPD. Again.

A true shame.
R.I.P.
I'm weird. You wanna doubt it?
I just read this on MSN, and rushed over here right away to make sure it was true. I kept hoping it was a joke on their part, or if they were somehow trying to be clever with their headlines.
Oh man...
The True Batman
I am in absolute shock right now. I truly believe the next bat-film was his breakout role. Another young Hollywood talent taken by drugs.
And yes, TDK is finished filming. I don't know how it'll affect the third film though, as I'm pretty sure Joker was supposed to return.

Retired.
*sigh*
Another young talented actor lost to substance abuse this year. First Brad Renfro, now Heath Ledger. Depressing.
I hope his scenes in "The Dark Knight" were already completed. It could have catapulted him into the annals of pop culture history as one of the most unique interpretations of The Joker ever captured on film.
Very depressing news indeed.
What does the X stand for? It's definitely not Extreme. Extreme starts with E.

God, how unbelievable and sudden. Just completely sad.
Not it will most likely do any good, but I encourage any interested parties to sign this petition.
