One of the best roles in history, the Joker remains one of the most loved characters even today. And what is even more iconic is the wonderful work that Heath Ledger did in portraying the role on-screen, I still doubt that anyone else could have done a better job with the role.

However, if rumors are to be believed then the role of the joker had so deep impact on Ledger that he went into depression and died of drug overdose shortly after completing his part of ‘The Joker’ in 2008.
Heath very justifiably received the Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in 2009. Menacing, Mercurial, Drool and Diabolical as he was, Heath Ledger as ‘The Joker’ remains and will remain remembered for eternity. Talking about the role what I find particularly appealing is the playfulness of the joker as he does the mischievous role.
