And no one got it — I didn’t get it, the studio didn’t get it. And the fan community was … we were ****ing pilloried for it. “Disaster, worst casting decision ever!” Chris just stuck to his guns. It was a question of not giving the fans what they’re asking for but what they want — which is, “Let’s find a really ****in’ serious actor, somebody who’s going to come in and just tear this role to pieces.” |

Considering Ledgers resume at the time, my guess is that Nolan watched LoD and saw the potential of Joker. |

I only remembered him in The Patriot and Candy. I didn't think he'd do the role justice. But you were one of the few.
