Jesus.
And just when he was becoming a fantastic actor, too.
I also have a few friends who knew him back in the day.
:sad:
Jeez.
At first I thought this was one of those random ploys but I checked a few other sources, and sure enough.
Wow...
Man, that's awful...
Wishful thinking, perhaps; but that is just another possible definition of the featherless biped.
Well that's shocking to say the least. It's a shame. I'm curious now to hear how.
Crazy and sad. I just found this out.
This is terrible... wow... I don't know, I'm truly speechless. I hope his family and friends can work through this...
Follow me on Twitter
Wow....
Sure why not?

I was just commenting, like, two days ago how I thought he was fast becoming one of his generation's best. New York Times article. Sounds like suicide.
I'm surprised at how much this is upsetting me.
Yeah. Pills laying around.Quoting Sycophant (view post)
Yuck.
Pretty crazy. He was good actor.
Were they done filming DK? That movie was gonna make him bigger than ever.
I'm floored by this news. Wow. Just awful.

Not only that: yet another Terry Gilliam project is being hijacked.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Sad news.
Good actor. Terrible shame. WTF's with him at Olsen's apartment, though?
I really hope that the Oscars, if they are a go, don't cut awkwardly to Michelle Williams if she's in the audience. That'd be kinda awkward.

i seem to recall reading he struggled with fame. maybe he didn't see that as a good thing.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
i just stumbled across this news on another board and had to reread it a few times to make sure i was reading it right. it's a huge loss. his performances in brokeback mountain and i'm not there are both fantastic. i expect great things from dark knight. it's a shame that will be it for his career. it will certainly make watching it an odd experience.
RIP hope you're happier wherever you are.
Goddamit. This is just....goddamit!
