Although some insiders claim that Ledger wasn’t ever “totally happy about things,” or that recently he was inexplicably turning down roles, those points are elements of Ledger’s life that in the long term, will be overshadowed by his body of work and his love for his family.

A few of the roles he recently turned down: Llewelyn Moss in the Coen's No Country for Old Men, the role that ultimately Josh Brolin played. He had also dropped out of the next Terrence Malick film, Tree of Life, being replaced by Brad Pitt.
