Hi, I saw the Dark Knight a week ago and thought it was AMAZING! Heath Ledger was brilliant. Anywho, who do YOU think was the best actor (for the joker)?.

    Well, even though each actor played the same villian, you have to understand that they played him differently. Jack Nicholson played a more comical role, and Heath Ledger played a more dark and psychopathic role. They both did a fantastic job, but you can’t compare the two because they didn’t exactly play the character in the same light. It’s like Johnny Depp playing Jack Sparrow…..he made the character! No one else could pull off that character in the same way. If Heath Ledger tried to do the Joker like Nicholson did, he would have flopped at it.
