   Because he had potential? Besides, especially if his death was an accidental   
   over-use of certain medicines, it's all the more sad.   
      
   BTW, I mentioned a series called "Roar". It's one of those many series from   
   the late 90's that came out in the wake of the success of "Hercules: The   
   Legendary Journeys" an its spin-off, "Xena: the Warrior Princess".   
      
   Some of the series were less than inspiring, but Roar was one of the ones   
   that had a ton of potential, and that were actually pretty good in their own   
   right.   
      
   I know Ledger from that series. Knight's Tale was kind of silly but not   
   altogether bad, and to be honest I don't think I've even seen most of the   
   other stuff he was involved in.
