By heathledgerrememberances I recently got the chance to talk with Heath Ledger at a press roundtable for the movie Candy. While on the hot seat I got the chance to grill Ledger about his upcoming role of The Joker in The Dark Knight. DRE: Have you read many Batman comics?

By heathledgerrememberances Small chance of that happening. After knocking over the ladies with his breakout U.S. performance in 10 Things I Hate About You and as Mel Gibson’s revolutionary son in The Patriot, it’s no wonder the promotional campaign for his first big starring vehicle, A Knight’s Tale, is built almost e...

By heathledgerrememberances Heath Ledger plays a legendary surf-shop owner in Lords of Dogtown. By BARRY KOLTNOW - The Orange County Register Heath Ledger is shy, soft-spoken and unassuming. The Australian-born star of A Knights Tale, Ned Kelly; and The Patriot doesn’t like to talk about himself.

By theundeadblogger With that being said, everyone in The Dark Knight were at their peak performance. The actors, the director, the rest of the crew, everyone.
