It's a shame we never saw Heath’s true potential; he had so much raw talent.

According to Aaron Eckhart, Heath Ledger stayed fully in character while filming this scene in The Dark Knight. Ledger spent nearly an hour pacing around and talking to himself. They didn’t exchange a single word outside the script. When the scene finally wrapped, Ledger turned to him and said, “That’s what acting is all about.”

I had about a 45 minute call with Lisa a few weeks back about the racial divide being pushed. The example I shared was “the boat analogy” from the movie “The Dark Knight” with the late Heath Ledger. Here’s what that analogy means.

Heath Ledger personally directed both of the homemade videos the Joker sends to GCN in The Dark Knight. For the first video featuring the fake Batman, Christopher Nolan supervised the process but gave Ledger complete creative freedom. In the end, he was very pleased with the result.

Heath Ledger never publicly named a specific real life person for his Joker inspiration in The Dark Knight. But the most convincing theory points to Tom Waits. His gravelly voice, strange cadence, restless mannerisms, and chaotic presence feel very close.
