About Heath Ledger

If a list of the most seasoned actors produced in the world is to be compiled, Heath Ledger’s name definitely deserves a mention. Although his lifespan was really short, his accomplishments as an actor, even during this brief period will be remembered by movie lovers for a really long time. Heath, who made his debut through the television series ‘Roar’, went on to prove his acting prowess through many other films such as ‘The Brothers Grimm’ and ‘Brokeback Mountain’. His roles in these flicks were noticed by the jury members of many award ceremonies, who felicitated him with many honors for his performances. However, it was his portrayal of the Joker in maverick filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s flick ‘The Dark Knight’ which made him a household name across the globe. Many critics as well as audiences compared Ledger’s performance with the works of yesteryear greats like Marlon Brando and Al Pacino and even hailed him as one of the greatest actors of all time. Ledger’s dedication towards his work has earned the respect of the whole film fraternity and it’s unfortunate that the actor passed away before reaching many other career milestones. His performances are even known for being institutions of great acting themselves
