It took about twenty days for two actors to die. One that was currently relevant in Heath Ledger and one that was not so much in Brad Renfro. Let's be honest here, not many people remember who Brad Renfro was (but thankfully, we have IMDB to look him up). Both causes are thought to have to deal with sleeping pills, booze, and the whatnot. Nothing illegal like coke or heroin. And both are very, very unfortunate. Heath Ledger was a very skilled, very funny actor (he's one of the reasons why I like 10 things I hate about you, the other being Julia stiles...mmmm....). Who knows, maybe both of those actors could have turned key roles that would have changed cinema forever, but we will never know.
It is unfortunate. These are the kind of events that make you wonder if everything is laid out...yes, fate. The road map of life. Does our life have a book already written? Some lives end up being short stories and others are War and Peace. Or perhaps, it's a choose your own adventure book. But in this one, you can't look ahead to both options and pick the best one. You can't find out if you save the princess or get barbecued by the dragon, you just have to keep your head about you.
Brad, Heath: God speed gentlemen.
