    Jesus.

    And just when he was becoming a fantastic actor, too.

    I also have a few friends who knew him back in the day.

    Jeez.

    At first I thought this was one of those random ploys but I checked a few other sources, and sure enough.

    Man, that's awful...
    Wishful thinking, perhaps; but that is just another possible definition of the featherless biped.

    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.

    Not only that: yet another Terry Gilliam project is being hijacked.

    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.

    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.
