Heath Ledger, a notable actor who recently filmed “The Dark Knight” (the latest sequel of “Batman”) as Joker, was found dead in his apartment in Manhattan. He died Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008, naked in bed with sleeping pills nearby.

It is a big loss for me, and I’m sure–for the world, to lose an actor who’s as remarkable as him. I’m not a fan of Ledger, but he’s one of the best actors nowadays. “He was so successful at breaking out of the teen idol image,” said Neil Armfield, an Australian director about Ledger.

He was only 28 and had filmed many great movies including “A Knight’s Tale”, “Casanova”, “Brokeback Mountain” and “10 Things I Hate About You”. Read the full article about his death here.
