“You think you can steal from us and just walk away?” “Yeah.”
-
To this day, heaths joker is the only acting performance I've ever seen that made me forget who is playing the part
-
Imagine if Heath was alive today. He’s career would’ve rocketed through Hollywood’s roof, and if he ever returned to a movie as the joker, it would be the most anticipated return of a beloved film character
-
The Dark Knight casting was so perfect, even smaller roles had great actors and let alone Heath's performance.
-
When you watched Dark Knight, you didnt think "Wow, Heath Ledger is really playing an awesome Joker." You thought "Holy shit, that's the JOKER!"
-
-You think you can steal from us and just walk away? -Yeah...
-
The fact he's saying the set was chill and Heath wasn't extremely into his role like Jared Leto was speaks volumes.
-
I can honestly say that Heath Ledger as the Joker was just legitimately terrifying. I remember looking around the theater watching The Dark Knight at people’s reactions at the Joker scenes and they were in awe and scared of this character. Just one of the greatest performances of all time captured on film. Brilliant stuff.
-
Props to Nolan for hiring MJW for a character who never throws punches or kicks.
-
The Dark Knight is the first movie that I've ever been in theaters where everybody clapped in applause at the end. It's a perfect blend of great acting talent, story, drama, and action. The best comic book inspired movie ever made.
-
I like how he backed up the fact that he didnt commit suicide cuz the joker. He worked with him for months and actually got to know the guy. One of the best movies ever
-
Someone: "Heath Ledger was so consumed by his role as the Joker that it drove him to kill himself." Michael Jai White: slams table "Enough from the CLOWN!"
-
Michael Jai White has been in movies for so long. He deserves to be a bigger star than he is
-
This makes me love The Dark Knight even more now
-
It's nice to hear these stories about Heath Ledger. Everyone who worked with him seems to agree what a kind, gentle soul he was.
-
Eric Roberts said something similar about working with Heath. He said Heath would blow them all away with this intense Joker performance, but as soon as filming stopped, he'd start asking the other actors, "How was that? Was that okay?"
-
“Oh, and the suit it wasn’t cheap. You outta know you bought it.” I die every time I hear that line 😂
-
So Micheal is saying that that the most intense movies I’ve ever seen in my life, was a chill low stress production
-
Michael seems like a legit good guy. He doesn’t seem so caught up in his stardom or his physical abilities. Interviewing him must be a real treat compared to other celebrities
-
The more I hear Michael Jai White talk in various interviews, the more I like him. He seems like a super chill and humble dude...Always respectful with his words towards others.
