The Dark Knight Joker?

Heath Ledger was an actor who committed to his roles and wasn't afraid to take risks. I think that's why he was chosen. I was excited to see him play The Joker months before his death and still am because I know it's going to be brilliant. I don't think his death is related to the role, although from what I read he had been under a lot of stress. It really is too bad he's no longer around; I really think this was his breakout role. R.I.P. Heath.
