Tragic News in the Acting World

Heath Ledger, an actor that was undeniably a rising star in Hollywood, died today in a Lower Manhattan apartment. He was 28. It is tragic that many of our great talents perish so senselessly, so young. Be it James Dean, River Phoenix or Chris Farley, it always seems that -- as Billy Joel once sang -- "only the good die young." Ledger's legacy will live on in the films he managed to make during his brief, 28 year life.

I've been a fan since I saw Heath in 10 Things I Hate About You and enjoyed many of his other films. I'll miss seeing him. : (

I watched a few things about him today. It's very sad news. He seemed a pretty cool guy off camera.
