I heard on the news this morning that he had trouble sleeping after playing the Joker character in the latest Batman movie. I also heard that Jack Nicholson told him to be careful in playing the part.
That makes me ask the question of how actors are able to get into their characters and the effect it has on them personally. It seems they may need to learn to separate fantasy from their own life. There are so many couples in hollywood that think they fall in love playing love interests in the movies. They get married in real life and get divorced so quickly because they are living in the fantasy of the parts they are playing and not real life.
