Whose career benefited from his death?


Heath Ledger would have gotten some big roles in prominent movies had he lived. Wonder what movies that have come out over the past 15 years would have starred Heath Ledger instead of the actors who ultimately got the parts in reality? I could see him in the roles that have been played by Joaquin Phoenix, Ryan Gosling, and Jake Gyllenhaal

His. If he didnt kill himself, his Joker would have been hated. But since he offed himself, its the greatest thing ever.

Michelle Williams

That's a pretty preposterous, and difficult to defend, opinion. His rendition of the Joker received near-unanimous acclaim, justifiably based on his performance. Audiences and critics recognize it for the masterwork it is based on merit, not out of some sort of sorrow for his passing.

The Dark Knight got a massive boost in publicity when Ledger died so add Christopher Nolan to the list of beneficiaries.
