Rest in Peace

I'm in shock. For those who haven't heard yet, actor Heath Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment at 3:26 pm today. As of now, I'm not sure exactly how he died. You can Google News Search if you desperately need more details.

I was never much for celebrity crushes, but I'll admit I was head over heels for Heath for about 3 years. Even afterwards, I still respected his talent and his dedication to challenging roles. I had enjoyed watching him grow as an an actor and was really looking forward to seeing him as a villain in the new Batman movie.

All I can do is offer my deepest and most sincere condolences to his friends and family, especially to his two-year-old daughter, Matilda, who will have to grow up without him.

First off, three years? It was closer to five. Second, this is very depressing indeed. After a quick googlenews search, signs are pointing either to an accidental OD or suicide. Either way, my heart goes out to his family, especially his two-year-old daughter. He was an incredible actor, taking more challenging roles with each movie. He will be missed. R.I.P. Heath.

You can still see him in the new Batman... I'm pretty sure it's done filming.

Yeah. I just heard "Dark Night" is in post-production now, and is coming out in July. Its only a tiny consolation though.

Yeah, but I'm still looking forward to it... and it will be interesting to see the last movie he ever made, no?
