1. Heath Ledger — The Joker, The Dark Knight
In order for Heath Ledger to play The Joker in 2008’s The Dark Knight he had to delve deep into a darker side of himself. The supervillain character is known to be psychotically evil and mischievous. When Ledger was preparing for the role, he totally isolated himself and devoted his time to channeling in the darkness of the cold-blooded clown. Some say that this devotion lead Ledger to become haunted by his character, unable to disconnect himself off set and therefore becoming consumed.
A short time after wrapping up filming of The Dark Knight, Ledger who was only 28 at the time died of an accidental prescription drug overdose. It is believed by many that Joker’s character took over Ledger’s sanity and sent him into a psychological tailspin causing him to turn to drugs and eventually lead to his death. Former Joker actor, Jack Nicolson may have known about the dangers of the role. When he found out about Ledger’s death while being flooded by paparazzi he was filmed saying, “I warned him”.
