Houndy couldn't remember the name of the guy who played Joker in The Dark Knight.
It's Heath Ledger. An Australian actor, whose finest hour was not only The Dark Knight, but also 10 Things I Hate About You. Oh he is so good looking in that movie.
If somebody HAS to die, it'd be interesting to watch another celebrity die who was just about to finish something really huge. Like when the author of the Wheel of Time series died right before the last book was finished... Sucks to be a fan of those books
