Apparently, dead at 28.

This is one of those news stories that makes me pause. I've seen Ledger in a few films..the main one that sticks out for me is "10 things I hate about you", but there's also the upcoming Batman flick that he was in. He was also in the show "Roar", for those who remember it, along with "A Knight's Tale", which I've yet to see.

So far, not a whole lot has been released on the "how" or "why", but it's been noted that a bottle of pills was located near the scene, in one report.

What I saw of him, he was a fun actor, and from what I've seen of The Dark Knight, it looks like he did great in it.

I don't have a whole lot else to say, but here's the "look" that made me think "This guy could pull off playin the Joker". It's also probably my second favorite memory of 10 Things.

I'm just still kind of dazed...celebrities die every day, but I didn't expect this. No way, no how.

*nod* I know what you mean. Out of the current "crop" I could have imagined? He wasn't on the list.
