I just read about Heath Ledger. Oh my god. to say that I am shocked is beyond words. I have adored this man since I first saw him. wow... We have lost a great man, a great actor, and wow.. I am deeply saddned by the news.
I was really moved and thought of James when I read the part about him not being able to sleep while and after playing the role of the Joker. I thought back to how moved James was by the attempted rape scene in Buffy and how upset it made him for quite a while afterwards. Exhustion comes to mind.
I am just really blown away right now.
