As one of the best and most versatile actors of our time, Heath Ledger has brought us comedy, romance, drama and imagination. His work has been so looked over the past decade it is unreal. His roles in "Monster's Ball", "A Knight's Tale", "Brokeback Mountain" and "The Order (The Sin Eater)" have been been so profound, so uplifting and so true to life it has been a wonder he hasn't been nominated before now.
With the appearance of 5 great actors and winners of the "Best Supporting Actor" category at the Oscars, we delve into the winner who has both made us love him for his sadness and tenacity as both a love-struck Knight and repressed son (A Knight's Tale and Monster's Ball) and loathed him for his maniacal and almost demonical portrayal of a vicious and sedistic Joker.
This man has risen above stardom to the level of absolute greatness. For his many roles and many unspoken hardships, we both salute and congratulate Heath Ledger. You have inspired us and transcended the world of acting into the world of forever. For that, we are forever grateful and wish we will see you again on the other side. Congratulations.
