Heath Ledger R.I.P.

With so much already said about the unexpected and tragic death of actor Heath Ledger, all I can really say is what a great actor he was.  I will be most grateful for his incredible performance in Brokeback Mountain.  This is simply one my favourite film performances.  Ledger captured the inner struggles and pain of a man repressing his homosexuality.  It was a tortured performance, and it will be even more heart-wrenching to watch it now that Ledger is gone.  I won't be able to watch it for some time.  His death is a major loss to film.
