True but U have 2 remember that playing that role did take it effect on his it well docemented fact that Cesar ROmero n esp Jack NIcholson suffered as well when they played live action jokers in the past.

In fact Jack Nicholson warned Heath personally NOT to take the role cos he had no idea what he was getting into. Peo do not realize that makeup messes up ur face n to sleep n to do basic things.

What I'm Feeling right now about Heath is weird, I mean, never felt it before. Look, when we talk about Johnny Depp, it's easy to me to get that he played a specific character and it's really concluded. But, With this person it doesn't stack with me. I mean, It was the best joker and now I listen to him and say: Oh my god, he's so different, is he the actor. Those words I can tell you as what I'm feeling right now. Like "He really got out from himself to make that character (joker)"

@misslennon2315 Lol you know him personally?

[Kaltenbauer]

@PhoebusRose64 before I read your post I thought exactly the same. :)

@KayWildcat finally someone with a bit of sense, it annoys me when people try attribute his death to the joker role, as if there is some kind of mystical curse behind it, he died from taking too many sleeping tablets, essentially Sleeping pills accentuate the Gaba neurotransmitter, which keeps the nerve cells in the lung tissue from firing. and when that happens your body cant get enough oxygen so you die in your sleep..

@KayWildcat Heath said himslef that he only got 2hours of sleep after the role it was in the news.He had no wife and she never said he took pills before the role.Its not just the sleeping issue but the fact he became emaciated and sick after the role you can see he had joker ticks in this clip and he hid it by coughing.And 'im not there' ironic right?he started filming this movie when he accepted the joker role

[KayWildcat]

@Chan3lprincess16 No....he had a sleeping disorder that took effect before the movie. His wife had openly said that he had started taking strange pills before he even met up with Chris Nolan and got the full script. He had sleeping issues LONG BEFORE hence, the movie had nothing to do with his incident. People like you only say that because coincedently, he died after playing a chaotic character. If he died with a more subtle role....NOBODY would bring the two together.
