Concerning Heath Ledger

Heath Ledger is very much worth a quick comment. Throughout the years, he had begun to top my list of favorite actors. He was a young actor who actually turned down money-making roles in order to pursue things that were more substantive. Even when his family and friends thought him crazy and needing to put food on the table, he held out for more meaningful parts. In interviews and entertainment news junk you’d often hear what a good person he was. Yes, he certainly seemed like a good guy for what we could tell. But integrity was something that seemed to shine from his art and he offered a great deal of hope for the craft. If you have the chance please check out the movie Four Feathers or, better yet, Brokeback Mountain. I’m sure we will be drowned in a sea of media blitz concerning his passing. But this is a life certainly worth celebrating. This is just a sidenote, but a tribute to a great actor more than worthy of mention.
