i was practically in tears when i heard. great actor and I hope the Dark Knight will leave him in a good light. His career was just starting.

My deepest condolences to the Ledger Family. When I heard he had passed away, I almost cried. I love him!! He has that whoke sweet guy vibe to him, but he could also be dangorous(sp?) He was one of HollyWoods great young actors. I was driven to tears by his Brockback Mountain preformance. So beautiful. He really should have won the Oscar, but even to be nominated is an honor. I LOVED him in 10 things I hate about you. It was really funny and romantic. Once Again, The Ledger family has my deepest sympathey. Rest in Peace Heath. God Bless.

he was one of my favarite actors!!

I can´t believe his gone. Ever since I first watched Ten things I hate about you, I thought Heath was the best. I´ve only seen four os his movies but I loved him in every one of them. He is so good looking and talented and that smile of his is simply adorable.

I just want to say that he really is one the greatest actors for me and I hope that people will remember him for a long time becase I sure will. I´ll remember Heath as a black-haired "bad boy", a knight and a cowboy at least.

Rest in Peace Heath.

He was one of my all time favorite actors why had this happened to him. He's such a good actor. Stuff like this always happens to the best of people. Stuff like this should not happen at all. It'll make our lives so much easier if stuff like this never happened. Wish he was still alive to make more awsome movies. Can't wait to see the Joker movie with him in it. It looks really good. Hope it wasn't canselled or anything. I'm really looking forward to seing it. He's to good of an actor to redo that movie. Thats for sure.

Heath Ledger was never one to walk under the spotlight. He enjoyed his life because he enjoyed what he did even if it meant stressing himself out dying out of passion for one’s true dedication to his job. I’m not one to really believe the media but even if it is true he had been involved in drugs at one point of his life he had his reasons and for that he deserves respect because everyone goes through issues in their life and everyone needs a way to get around them. Everyone makes mistakes but it’s not like he did it intentionally for anyone to judge him for it. No one is perfect. Instead we should remember him for the great passion he had for the great works of art he has left us with. It is certainly sad he has left us at such a young age but then again sometimes the saying “the good die young� stands still. In this case he was a very good actor and father whether we saw him for who he really was or not he never deserved all the chaos of stories and allegations brought upon him during his time of death. May his soul rest in peace and may we honor him for the right reasons and not for what the media has to say about him.

I respect Heath in many ways, one for being a true actor. Unlike many, Heath really enjoyed his job as an actor. He kept his personally life aside from his famous life. He kept to himself and did not take advantage of his famous life. I thought he was such a wonderful actor who lost his life just way to soon. I do wish his family the best; because they have probably heard many stories of what happened to Heath. Hopefully, the family will soon find out what happened to Heath, and not have to keep wondering what the truth is.

Heath Ledger was a terrific actor, I think as a actor he will always be great, but he was also just a man. I was first introduced to him in 10 things I hate about you, and tried to follow his career. I thought his performance in The Patriot was great and only a guy who is secure with how he is could act as a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain. I didn't live in Carseland Alberta when Brokeback Mountain was filmed here but people say he was a kind man and a wonderful person to talk to. I am pround to say that I am a fan of his.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Rest in Peace.

A great talent that will be forever missed. As I think he not just had the looks but also had the talent to break into superstardom as well as have one great future ahead of him. As he first came to the scene in the tv show "Roar" though it only lasted for a season. He was destined for bigger and brighter things ahead of him. With his breakthrough role in "The Patriot" and that his last film was the Dark Knight playing the Joker. Will miss his talent as now all that is left are the memories. Really feel bad for his family and the little girl he left behind.

I'm completely shocked by his death.!!
He was one of Australia's greatest talents of all times, and we will all miss him so much!
I am very sympathetic toward his family and friends.
And wish my kindest condolences. He will always be remembered as an actor who shone in every role he ever portrayed, and chose some of the most difficult and beautiful roles for his career. Australia will miss him.
And The world will miss him.
A credit to Australia, and the film industry around the world.
R.I.P your beautiful soul. You will be forever in our hearts, and on our screens.
Thankyou for sharing your talent!
