HEATH LEDGER The “thundering and ungovernable talent” of Johnny’s funeral eulogy for Ledger pours out from his portrait four-square and handsome, addressing the world head-on. But his eyes tell a different story. Sensitive and soulful, they reflect the character of a man who cared perhaps too much about his work but had the subtlety and range to portray Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain and then the Joker in The Dark Knight . Heath’s tragic and unexpected death in January 2008, halfway through the filming of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus meant that after knowing Heath as a fellow actor and friend for nearly 10 years, Johnny suddenly found himself stepping into part of Heath’s role to help Terry Gilliam finish the film.
