Fast forward to 2:40

I guess I'm late to the party on this. But wow. Almost identical.

[Juancho9]

That interview was better than TDK

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

This is the oldest thing on the internet.

[dekline]

Tom Waits is awesome and so was that interview.

[Izick]

Scary how close it is. Never heard of this before, so thank you OP.

[SoulPlaya]

I am now a Tom Waits fan.

[coldvein]

smoking on tv .. good lord.. those were the glory days.

[Neuromancer]

This is the oldest thing on the internet.

I'd never seen it before. Cool interview.

[JeTmAn81]

Wow, Ledger was doing his exact voice.

[ATF487]

I was listening to The Heart of Saturday Night when I saw this :O

smoking on tv .. good lord.. those were the glory days.

was thinking the same thing. Been watching a lot of mad men and I wish I could have experienced the 50s/60s

[FrenchMovieTheme]

tom waits sounds like the fucking cookie monster when he sings but i like some of his stuff

[brianjones]

ive watched a bunch of his interviews, always entertaining

never put the 2 and 2 together though

interesting

[mr_nothin]

This is the oldest thing on the internet.

Well I didnt know anything about it
Thanks OP

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

I'd never seen it before. Cool interview.

< -----FACETIOUS

[newjeruse]

That and The Crow.

[Cartman86]

This is fairly old and others have said not true. Or at least we have no evidence for it.

[hiryu64]

Shame we can't actually ask Ledger whether Waits was the inspiration for his Joker. Unless someone has a Ouija board handy...

[mantidor]

I always wondered how his Joker was so not like the Joker, if this is true then I now know why.

[Count Dookkake]

This or BEETLEJUICE.

[blixa]

inspired? it's a rip-off.
gaming side will know this one.

[Zombie James]

First time I'm seeing this. Pretty damn close.

[Aselith]

Oh wait nm gotcha :P

[rexor0717]

Oh wow, that was spot on. I got Joker chills watching it.

[msdstc]

Wonder if Joaquin got some inspiration from this for his Letterman interview.

[akachan ningen]

Mark Hamill played a better Joker than Heath.

[CrocMother]

Link me the direct quote from Heath Ledger saying that this was his inspiration.

You won't be able to do it because it's not true.

sorry man this is one of those internet rumors that has no factual basis. great interview though.

[demon]

Another old Tom Waits interview on youtube I love - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_ScWtP2IxU
(bonus: has Fred Willard)

The epitome of cool.

[Beerman462]

I said Wow

[entrement]

Link me the direct quote from Heath Ledger saying that this was his inspiration. You won't be able to do it because it's not true. sorry man this is one of those internet rumors that has no factual basis. great interview though.

You're correct. I'd add ''may'' to the thread title, but its too late. A mod/admin will have to do it.

Unfortunately, we'll never know since Heath passed away.

[mattiewheels]

He seems completely hammered in that interview, and not just exhibiting the typical Waits-ian charm. I can never tell if that was just part of the act or not.

[Aselith]

I was watching through some interviews about Heath Ledger's Joker and saw this.

I can't imagine how pissed Gyllenhall must have been at the moment. The guy literally had nothing to ask and only mentioned Ledger to try to get a reaction. And everyone of course immediately got super fucking uncomfortable.

Some people just have no tact.

[Bombadil]

Mark Hamill played a better Joker than Heath.

Didn't play him, voiced him. And no.

[Discotheque]

This or BEETLEJUICE.

I'm so glad you've been repping Beetlejuice so hard recently. That film needs more love. Also
Beetlejuice Keaton was BEST Keaton

[Clevinger]

Mark Hamill played a better Joker than Heath.

mark hamill's joker is so overrated

[Draconian]

Mark Hamill played a better Joker than Heath.

Because voice acting is exactly the same as regular acting.

[Moaradin]

Mark Hamill played a better Joker than Heath.

Mark Hamill is the definite Joker for sure.

[TwiztidElf]

RIP Don Lane.
I miss the days when Australia had talk show hosts with skills.

[AgentOtaku]

Never say this either and yeah, pretty damn rad

[Ultima_5]

Mark Hamill played a better Joker than Heath.

This.

Heath Ledger's joker is good, but very very overrated. I wonder how it would have been viewed if he didn't die so close to release.

[entrement]

I don't get comparing VAs to actors.

[Ultima_5]

I don't get comparing VAs to actors.

It's something that I've only noticed happen in discussion of the Joker.

It's not so much the voice actor, but the overall depiction in my opinion. Mark Hamills voice just so happens to be a huge factor.

Really what people are arguing is TAS Joker vs TDK Joker

[AgentOtaku]

oh yeah, Tom Waits is a cool cat

[RBelong2Us]

lol at Mark Hammil being the better Joker, yeah, as if it's the same type of acting....SMH.

[slade]

The best Joker was the one in DMC3.

[strobogo]

Painfully awkward. More awkward than Crispin on Dave.

[Ultima_5]

Painfully awkward. More awkward than Crispin on Dave.

The greatest awkward interview was between garry shandling and Ricky Gervais

[kame-sennin]

Why the hell are people shitting on voice acting?

[Window]

The greatest awkward interview was between garry shandling and Ricky Gervais

I'm watching this now and holy hell is this real? Is Shandling just messing around with Ricky or what?

Edit:Actually now in watching part 2, it's not so bad.

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

lol at Mark Hammil being the better Joker, yeah, as if it's the same type of acting....SMH.
