Fare thee well, Sir William Thatcher

This can't be real. He's only my top fave actor, even rivaling my fondness for Johnny Depp. A Knight's Tale is my favorite movie of all time, next to The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Most people know him as 1/2 of Brothers Grimm. He's also the irritatingly charming young man who stole antisocial Kat Stratford's heart in 10 Things I Hate About You. He's the perfect Casanova. And oh, who could ever forget about his role in Brokeback Mountain! But of course I will always love him as William Thatcher, son of a poorfolk who dreamed that one day he could change his stars. And he did. Now he leaves us with The Dark Knight.

I got so sad when I read about this awful awful news. He's really a huge loss. And I don't really go ga-ga over actors but I sure am nuts about Heath. He was such a great actor. Believe me when I say, I really cried for him.

So goodbye for now, Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein. As his beloved squire, friend and tailor, Roland said, "all things must come to an end." So this is his. I was just wishing he died a more noble death, like the Knight I came to know and love. But of course I'm choosing fantasy again over reality.

Farewell, Sir William Thatcher. You'll be missed. Terribly.

  3. What a loss! And the man could act. Monster's Ball, Brokeback Moutain, Batman, these were just the beginning. I was looking forward to a career with more great acting roles. A huge huge loss.

    A Knight's Tale was one of my favorites and he looked very handsome there.

    He had genuine talent, looks (those ruggedly handsome features of his), a great life, apartment in NYC, a beautiful daughter, an anticipated turn as the Joker.

    Why?

    I'm thinking if I go back to sleep and wake up again, this won't be the case.
