a tribute published in Newsweek:
One night while I'm on LaSalle Street in Chicago, trying to organize an outlet for "The Dark Knight", a production assistant passes in front of me riding his skateboard. Silently, I curse the moment when Heath appeared on the set fully mounted on his skateboard as his character makeup. I feared the reaction of the fans of Batman against the Joker in patinene, but the actual result was a proliferation of skateboards among the younger team members. If you asked those kids why they had decided to bring their skateboards to work, had responded honestly do not know why. That's a real charisma -As invisible and natural as gravity. That was what he had. Heath
burst of creativity. It was in every one of his gestures. Once told me that he liked to wait between jobs until he was hungry creavitamente. Until he needed it again. He brought that attitude to our set every day. Not many actors can make you feel ashamed of how often you complain about having the best job in the world. He was one of them.
Once he and another actor were shooting a complex scene. We had two days to make, and at the end of the first day, they had come to something and Heath was worried that I could lose if we stopped. He wanted to continue and finish. It is difficult to ask the team to work late when we all know that there is enough time to finish the next day. But everyone seemed to understand that he had something special and we had to catch him before he disappeared. Months later, I learned that as Heath left the set that night, quietly thanked each crew member for working late. Discreetly. Without trying to prove anything, just grateful for the opportunity to create that had given him.
Those nights on the streets of Chicago were filled with doubles. These can be boring times for an actor, but Heath was fascinated, eager accepted our invitation to get on the car carrying the camera, while chasing cars in traffic-not just for the thrill of the chase, but to be part of it. Everything. He took his laptop in the car, and there we had two of his works in progress: short films he had made that were exciting and frightening. Their exuberance made me feel tired and bored. I never felt as old as when I saw Heath explore his talents. That night I made an offer-knowing that they would accept, which could come to the set when he had a night off so he could see what we did.
When you get to the editing area after making a film, feel a responsibility to an actor who has trusted you, and Heath gave us everything. As we started my cut, I asked about every shot I chose, each trim we made. I could see the projections on which we showed the finished film-sitting 3 or 4 rows behind him, watching the movements of his head for clues about what he thought about what we had done with everything he gave us. Now these projections will never be reality. I see every day in the editing room. Study his face, his voice. And I miss him terribly.
Back on LaSalle Street, I tell my assistant director to take the boy out of my sight skate, when I realize it's Heath, with his hat covering his eyes, here on his night off accepting my offer. I can not help but smile.
