In Loving Tribute Words Cannot Express The Depths of Our Love and How much We Miss You. Heath Andrew Ledger 1979 - 2008
He was a fantastic actor and he put everything into this part. I absolutely know without question that he would have wanted everyone to see [The Dark Knight]. "For me, this is a celebration of what he did best - entertain people... Respect the man. This is what he did. This is what he wanted to do." (Actor Christian Bale)

"In between takes he would sit on the curbside and smoke a cigarette and laugh and talk about his daughter Matilda." "I thought he was just a beautiful kid. I thought he was just wonderful. I had a real affection for him. (Actor Gary Oldman) The Dark Knight Press Conference

Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight. an artificial reality while the camera is running. Of the actors I've worked with, he was one of the easiest, most delightful presences on set. Not at all, you know, dark and intense when he didn't need to be. Very easygoing and very kind to everybody around him, which is certainly not the Joker. It's a real testament to his skill to see how utterly unlike him, and the way he saw the world, this character is. [For] those who knew him and those who had the privilege of working with him, it's pretty amazing the disparity between the person he was and the monster that he created for us. To see that being created from this very gentle person is a real testament to his skill as an actor." (Christopher Nolan, Director of The Dark Knight)
that he was in this place which is so rare, even for the greatest actors, where he was absolutely free. And when you can hit that stride, you know, it rubs off on everyone around you. It was totally rubbing off on me. Acting with someone who's totally free is what everyone wants to do. . . (Maggie Gyllenhaal, The Dark Knight)
I finished filming ‘The Imaginarium…’ with Heath Ledger on 20th January, and during all that time he was nothing but professional - working into the small hours in the freezing cold, clad only in satin, fighting flu, doing his own stunt work,
chilling out with the crew,
viewing the rushes with Gilliam.
of the crew, helping out and
working damned hard. and if you didn’t know him, you quickly grew to love him
because he had a genuine way
of connecting with people. and it was a pure joy to be around him. (Baba Berni, London, April 15, 2008) |
