Heath Ledger is to the Dark Knight, as DeNiro was to Godfather II

A lot of actors hate the other attention the profession brings. He would have been depressed anyway, acting or not.

It was in one of the english papers the Daily Mail about a month ago. I don't think it's corny to say that, if it was acting that led to his obvious deep depression and unhappiness, then to release the film with him in it doesn't seem right. If you want to describe that opinion as corny then knock yourself out.

The guy was skateboarding on set and having a good time, so I don't think the part made him THAT miserable.

My bad, he was not forced into acting but he couldn't handle acting as a profession because of what it brought with it

I guess that was only part of it because it also talks about terrible sleeping problems he was experiencing months before he committed suicide, so all in all one extremely unhappy individual beneath the exterior.

Its a shame, of course it sucks we lost a bright individual, but now he ain't around to reprise the role of the Joker and if yall niggaz know Batman the Joker is the central villain, who always has a hand in it all somehow...I hope some actor wil be able to step-up to that mantel and do it well...
