Heath Ledger's Passing

Heath Ledger passed away yesterday, Jan. 22nd - and that's a big loss...

I've been looking forward to seeing his performance in the upcoming BATMAN movie sequel this summer. It's called "The Dark Knight." All the reviews have been extremely positive- and being a huge comic book fan since the early 1970s, I can tell you that from what I've seen, he really captures the essence of the Joker.

Of course, I admired his performance in Brokeback Mountain as well. That was a challenging role for him, and he was really convincing. I just hope that he finds peace.
