I have to say when I heard this on the news it completely shocked and saddened. I read it was sleeping pills. I sincerely hope it wasn't intentional.

I wasn't a huge fan of his but he was such a promising actor, especially after Brokeback and his recent choices like I'm Not There. I've been hearing for awhile about how amazing his portrayal of the Joker is in the new Batman movie. There are so many outwardly vapid celebrities in my generation that I like to root for the ones that seem dedicated, I always saw him as one.

My thoughts are going out to his family and his little girl Matilda.
