Ahoy, ye landlubbers! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn from the quill of the venerable Michael Caine, famed thespian and actor of many a grand tale! In his memoir, he be reminiscin’ about a scallywag known as Heath Ledger, who took on the role of that devilish rogue, the Joker, in “The Dark Knight.”Caine, with a wink and a smirk, recalls how young Heath sailed the stormy seas of method actin’, transformin’ into a madcap villain that sent shivers down many a spine! Aye, Ledger’s performance be so wild and unpredictable, ye might think he was a kraken unleashed upon Gotham!
