Greatest actor and such a decent and wonderful human being. It's been 12 years and it still hurts. Thinking about all the movies he could have done, all the excellent performances he would have given us... he would have become one of the best actors to ever live, right at the level of Marlon Brando or Daniel Day Lewis. It's so unfair he was taken from us so soon. Miss him a lot.

Holy Cow! 12 years already? Damn. I'm 12 years older and it passed like 24 hours!!! I've watched a few video's of Heath's Role and it still is Fresh and seems new & interesting! 12 years...Heath was 28 when he passed away, which means he would be 40 this year. You see so many actors in their later years performing so well. Heath would STILL be picking up roles in Billion dollar movies. Sigh, I think I'll go watch Dark Knight and have a quiet cry on the Sofa.

I know EVERYONE talks about Heath's role as the joker. But he really was incredible in that film. I remember seeing the trailer for The Dark Knight, and seeing the joker, and I had NO idea it was Heath. I thought it was some unknown actor. When I found out he was playing the joker, I thought "Heath ledger from Brokeback Mountain, and 10 things I hate about you? There's no way he pulled off playing the joker". Boy I was wrong. To this day, I think it's the best performance in ANY movie. A lot of people doubted that he'd pull it off, and he proved EVERYONE wrong. I still get goosebumps when I hear his joker laugh.

10 things I hate about you and Brokeback Mountain had two very different characters and performances from Heath. One which was Oscar Nominated. Why would you think he couldn't play a good joker?

[@steelberg23]

I love him so much. Chris Nolan said it best when he said “A huge hole was torn in the history of cinema” when we lost Heath. I hope that he and Phillip Seymour Hoffman are somewhere drinking and having fun.

[@jasoncoladonato1034]

His death still saddens me. I’ll always love Heath Ledger, and I have no doubt in my mind that if he was still alive he’d be one of the best, if not the best, actor(s) working.

[@joana9039]

🙏💔

[@lindsay9838]

Absolutely. He’d be up there with Leo status. Offer-only. Committed 1000% to every role, whether lead or cameo. Humble. Passionate. Huge range. It’s truly a tragedy that we only got to see the very beginning of what he was capable of

[@royanreimer9652]

I think the crazy thing is, is that when you usually watch the same actor in different movies, you usually can find similarities of themselves within each character, no matter how amazing they are. But Heath Ledger was so talented, and he worked so hard at what he did, that when I watch him as the joker, I never see Heath Ledger, but only the joker. No matter how hard I looked; and THAT is the best acting out there. His dedication towards his work and his gentle personality will be missed forever.

[@joana9039]

Beautifully written ❤

[@MunkeeFWRrng]

And that’s exactly why he won that Oscar. He was the Joker. He set the standard. It honestly breaks my heart that he’s no longer with us. I can only imagine the heights he would have reached if he was still here with us 😢.

[@OddBallPerformance]

If Michael Cane, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Gary Oldman sing your praises as a talented actor - you truly were among the best. I am pretty sure if Heath heard their words he would have been filled with nothing but pure joy and a sense of belonging and validation for all of his hard work.

[@nigelmonteiro1260]

@@speckyhotdog84anderson6 he already was an acting giant at the time. The man was a absolute phenomenon and gained legend status despite his short-lived career and life.

[@Luistation]

Man, his death was so heartbreaking that I almost pass out or die with anxiety disorder. Because I couldn’t and still can’t accept the fact that Heath couldn’t watch his final movie and know that he impressed us with his performance of The Joker. The fact that that he had a promising career was tragically cut short, almost psychologically killed me. It’s dangerous being “compulsively” obsessed of a dead actor, I know it’s painful but there’s nothing left to enjoy the legacy that actor left. I also wished he got the Oscar on his hands. When I search about the dealing with sleep problems, I was afraid that I would suffer like that. Be careful with the internet, folks.
