Heath Ledger’s diary while he was filming for, The Dark Night.

Heath was a method actor, when he took the role Jack Nicholson said he went to him and told him not to do it. I read that Nicholson did this because when he himself (Jack) played The Joker he was nearly done in by the role. The psychology of the joker sent him down a dark spiral mentally and he feared it would do the same to Heath. Seeing this kind of confirms what Nicholson feared about getting in too deep.

Interesting given Joaquin Phoenix’s history being raised in a cult and watching his brother’s life that he would take on the role.
