So an actor not much older than I am died, and quite a few people are really sad about it. Whether it was suicide or not is unkown, and debating his motives, intentions are really unknowable. If it was suicide, he was a coward with issues. That's a big if at this stage, but I will say why this incident.
It is rare to find anyone so willing to try anything, and to use their gifts at their full cylinder. And to do so in your 20's is indeed amazing. To be performing at such a high level at the things you wanted to do... it is an amazing feat that more of us can say we envy than experience. Also because the guy was apparently gosh-darn likable. Affability is a quality that doesn't ensure success or happiness, but it is an important thing most people can't figure out.
He was really, really good. People may think his Joker is nothing like the Joker. But to the initiated to the darker world of graphic novels, that first trailer shows a Joker that would scare the crap out of the Joker from the early 90's. And given the realistic approach, that should tell you something. It looks to be an amazing performance, and when I see this movie with friends this July, we will wear black, only not because it's Batman.
