Those were the words that echoed through my brain up until the very last frame of Christopher Nolan's masterpiece, The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger's portrayal of The Joker still sits on my list as the best performance in American cinema. Forget DeNiro's Travis Bickle, forget Pacino's turn as Roy Cohn in Angels in America, and more to the point forget their screen-time together in Heat and Righteous Kill.
When I heard those words, I knew I wanted to be an actor. I knew I wanted to tell stories. I had always wanted to be in the film industry but always focused on work behind the camera. But with this froghtening and sometimes morbidly intriguing look at The Joker, I knew I wanted to be the one in front, the one you couldnt take your eyes off of.
And so starts my journey into becoming America's sweetheart. Time to research, journey, and find my way into your televisions, into your theaters, and into the ballots of voters at all those ritzy award programs.
Day One:Done.
