This is really unexpected [:(]

poor guy... he was one of my favorite actors, mainly cuz i have the same smile as him, but oh well. i'll miss him

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! [V][V][V][V][V]

he was just taking a nap and his nanny over-reacted. The mistake is all over the news.

I wasn't a huge fan or anything, (I know, shocking that there's a queer that doesn't love all things Brokeback) but, I was shocked and a little sad. It's not like he's one of those celebs that has a history of careless behavior.

If he was wearing that joker make-up when his nanny attacked... No wonder why!

the apartment was one that one of the olsen twins owned(forget what one)

Nope... this from the msnbc article:

The Times initially reported that Ledger was found in an apartment owned by actress Mary-Kate Olsen, but a spokesperson for the actress, who is at the Sundance Film Festival, later told the Times the apartment was not Olsen's.

This is certainly a loss. He was such a role-model for me and such an upstanding gentleman. So young too. I am in disbelief... All I have to say is don't believe the rumors until you know the facts.

I heard he chocked on an aspiragus!

Learn to spell. ^ Please

It's sad for the simple fact that it looks like he portrayed the Joker flawlessly in Batman. Even though he was in Brokeback mountain, it seems like his career really didn't "start" yet. I really think the Joker could have been his breakthrough role big time. May he Rest in piece.

...so? No disrespect but so what? He is just an actor, I have no idea why people treat actors so high and mighty/ They are just people like everyone else at the end of the day, but yet if any other person in the world overdosed on sleeping pills it would barely reach the local news. I'm sure he was a great guy and all but so what?

^ Well yea he is just an actor, and you may not feel that its a big deal. because people die everyday which is very understandable. But at the same time this guy had many fans, and many people that loved him, so obviously it's going to be a big hoopla about it. If you were a huge actor and you died, it will be on every news channel. So what it all boils down to is that he was a well known person, and the only way to dish out this info is to go national.

You're cool if you die in your late 20's.

That's too bad. He was still young and was a good actor.

With any other person, you don't get to see who they were. Actors don't show their personalities too much on screen, but you can still imagine how they would be in real life, so there's some emotional value to it. But I agree that a lot of people tend to care too much.

Only the good die young.

It kinda sucks, he was one of the better actors around these days. Seemed the guy had standards and was a great actor.

Least it hasn't reached Anna Nicole Smith standards of news attention. Makes you wonder how different the news would be if he had been a raving arse who gave Tom Cruise a run for his money in terms of supreme stupidity.

The worst part is that instead of being remembered for an awesome piece of work like "The Patriot" (truly the best civil war movie to date), he is gonna be known for "Brokeback Mountain".

Nice legacy.

^Amazing how the best Civil War movie ever is about the American Revolutionary War...

Also I see nothing wrong with being known for Brokeback mountain, It was a daring and ground breaking role...

Yeah, TCon, I don't know why Brokeback Mountain leaves a less than exceptional "legacy". I thought it was a beautiful and superb creation...

Do explain your reasoning, please.

Because it was any "epic" love story in disguise?

The only reason people were so compelled and "overcome" by that movie was because it revolved around two gay men instead of any heterosexual couple.

Controversy earns you cash and better ratings from critics and the audience because they want to protect their precious homosexual love story.

Roger that SFMM ... my head is elsewhere tonight - but it does not change my opinion on his legacy.

Go dye your hair or something Gerst, the answer might come to you in the shampoo. If you need ME to explain my reasoning to you, then you obviously have never paid attention to my thoughts on that "topic". Get it? Duh.

Edit: Headed to church now ....

Aye Aye Tcon

If anyone's wondering, he did leave a movie unfinished.
