tbh, I have never heard of him or the things he starred in.

He was in sleepers. It's a great film, I really recommend watching it.

I know but I mean it's weird to watch a film just after an actor dies.

I have a similar feeling when I see films with actors who died early in their career , like Bruce & Brandon Lee. I have to admit I think I have only seen one of his movies (A knights tale), but I will definitely be watching Dark knight. RIP

you've never watched a film with a dead man before? what are you, living in a hole or something?

all i can say is meh... never knew he was that popular.

I think people are shocked because they didnt see it coming. personally if i were to wake up to "Britney Spears found dead" I wouldnt be too suprised. This on the other hand, is shocking. I saw him on Leno a year or two ago and he seemed like a grounded down to earth guy. And the guy had a bright future ahead of him IMO. Great actor. My heart goes out to his poor daughter.

RIP

I definitely dont remember him in Sleepers. He was in the Patriot and was fantastic in brokeback Mountain.

You have him mixed up with someone else. He wasn't in Sleepers.

Reading his wiki page - not much there to shed light on what might have done it. Certainly there have been celebs with more problems.

I remember him in 10 things alright. But I was more interested in his co-actress... what a beauty.

Suicide though; this guy? Hard to believe.

Hard to believe indeed, til we get further information. Nothing confirmed yet.

I think AlmightyCushion is talking about Brad Renfro who as already posted died of a drugs overdose last week.

Oh well that I have seen. And yes I liked it.

Still not trying to put salt on it: he was no Heath Ledger :-/

Read the post I was replying to. I was talking about Brad Renfro.

According to sky news he'd had a couple of messy break-ups....Still though...

i didnt know he boke up with the missus in sept. if he's getting greif over the kid it would be enough to push him over the edge.

makes alot more sense to me than normal druggy stuff.

randylonghorn · 23-01-2008 12:09AM

Jeez, 28 is awful fecking young to go, and for a guy with so many possibilities ahead of him ...

He's talking about Brad Renfro, another recently deceased celebrity.

Petey2006 · 23-01-2008 12:12AM

Awful news. He was a very talented actor. A tragic loss.

kraggy · 23-01-2008 12:12AM

So he was!

Yeah visit the PI forum sometime: theres a messy breakup born every day.

I dunno maybe he was depressed and abusing the pills and just went too far this time. May have been purely accidental on his part. Not that it excuses the use of pills but maybe he didn't have the intention of doing himself in.

Oh I realise. That's why I said "Still...".
However, a break-up in the limelight has got to be worse than a regular one.

tritium · 23-01-2008 12:16AM

A real shame. Talented actor with so much more potential. RIP

Boggles · 23-01-2008 12:16AM

RIP

Best God Damn Gay Cowboy Film I have ever Seen!!

Chong · 23-01-2008 12:17AM

What the fcuked up thing is this could been easily Owen Wilson last year.

Fortunately he didnt die.

Funky · 23-01-2008 12:17AM

Some reports are saying that he had some sort of drug problem awhile back but that he has been clean for a year. I don't know, you kind of think you'd hear about something like that, especially considering he was such a high-profile actor.

I guess everyone was too busy watching Britney.

kev_s88 · 23-01-2008 12:22AM

this is so sad.hes one of the few hollywood actors at the moment that it would really shock me if it was a drug death or something else non-natural.

he just always seemed like such a clean guy, the real deal.its a big loss to hollywood and a big loss to us all.especially his young daughter.

RIP Heath Ledger

RebelRockChick · 23-01-2008 12:22AM

Very sad news, couldn't believe it when I heard earlier. It's all over sky news now.

No doubt 'The Dark Knight' was going to excel his career even further...

R.I.P

The Queen · 23-01-2008 12:22AM

RIP. Im really shocked over this.... He was a great actor.

23-01-2008 12:23AM

Yeah hearing about O' Wilson was a surprise too.
I think we need to get to the bottom of why celebs keep doing this to themselves

we miss you Chris Farley!

thebaz · 23-01-2008 12:25AM

Sky have been running an hour long , paparazzi style special show, Ad free, from his apartment -- replaying the same scene over and over -- i'm sorry hes dead , but there is other news , especially when the facts are unknown -- i wanted to see the sports

Nunu · 23-01-2008 12:26AM

This is seriously distressing and depressing news. I was a huge fan.

.....totally numb:(

Dregon · 23-01-2008 12:27AM
