You can only imagine how great of a film career this guy would have had if he was still alive

[dynamicvoltage]

This dude was on his way to being one of the greatest actors of all time. We were robbed of so many incredible performances.

[Missjunebugfreak]

I have a feeling if he'd lived longer he would easily be considered one of the greatest actors of his generation.
Such a huge loss.

[ahmedhamaidia]

Everytime I see this man I feel like crying... Such a huge loss

[melissaquintanilla]

He had so many legendary performances left in him… may he Rest In Peace

[florincalin]

It's interesting seeing Heath in HD. It's like he's still here, acting, promoting stuff and living life like he should have had.

[ComicalRealm]

Honestly, if Heath had been given a stand alone joker movie like phoenix... I can't even imagine to what depths he would've taken the character to. But his Joker's legacy will live on forever

[boheeatelier]

He was so handsome and sensitive. He looks like someone with anxiety on this clip, moving a lot, kind of uncontrollable. So sad he is gone. Great human and actor.

[KevyNova]

I have to admit, when I first heard he was cast as Joker I thought it was a terrible mistake because he was too young and too much of a pretty boy. Boy was I wrong. It just shows what an incredible actor he was.

[anthonypalumbo]

Hard to believe Heath Ledger was only 28 years old when he passed. He seemed so much older because of his amazing acting, acting that can take decades to perfect, but only took him 2. RIP legend.

[HBarnill]

Even before his death, Brokeback Mountain alone proved he was one of the best actors imaginable. Even Daniel Day Lewis was in awe of him.

[le_maxarus]

the fact that he died gave his Joker a mythical feeling. it is because he could never do a sequel, or give an interview after the performance, or pose for a photo shoot, what gives his Joker that uniqueness. His Joker seems even real because of that. it does not seem to be a character in a movie, because normaly the actor would give tons of interviews after the premier and we could even see him getting old over time. so, his performance only lives in that movie, only within those two and a half hours you can see that man existing. that makes his Joker a lot more creapy and iconic.
of course is the terrific performance to begin with, but then what i said elevates it all to the myth it has become.
i wish he was alive, but i can see that his death changed cinema and our culture as a whole. his Joker is really influencial and relevant still today, and will probably always be a symbol with many meanings. and also something always worth to watch. the dark knight will never get old.

[rishabh]

His voice is like a more refined version of Chris Hemsworth's.

[PSD]

I just hope in some parallel universe out there this guy is rocking it

[MickSliViewerMetal]

Conan was genuinely impressed that Heath had his own sound effects

[NoName-plzm]

It amazes me that he was only 28 when he passed. What incredible performances he put in at such a young age in the dark knight and brokeback mountain

[jayc.mp]

As an Australian myself, born and raised in Perth, i can truly say he’s an Aussie icon that’ll be missed dearly by all of us. We love you Heath ♥️🇦🇺

[NikkiLove]

He seemed so lovely. I was 18 when he passed and so sad, because he was my favourite actor. I’m now 31, and it’s such an odd feeling knowing I’m older than him now. 🥺

[gabrielangelos]

I don't think anyone would top his performance as joker. Truly extraordinary actor. RIP

[franklinjoseph]

It's fascinating to realize that all these great actors that we love and in awe of, Conan used to interview them on a daily basis ..
