Heath Ledger

Writing this incredibly shocked at the news. Pretty much heard it as soon as it hit Sky/BBC online.

He wasn't a favourite of mine but his performances in films like Monsters Ball and Brokeback Mountain were superb and showed real promise for the future, not to mention a star making turn upcoming as The Joker in The Dark Knight a film which now promises to be a very different kind of viewing.

Its the inevitable "huge star dies" syndrome I suppose but I am stunned and speechless at this tragedy, just days after the passing of Brad Renfro another great young actor.

My thoughts are with his family right now.

RIP dude.
