Heath Ledger
“When Heath Ledger passed away in January 2008, he had no shortage of things he was working on.
(image: scrapetv.com) Just about everyone in the world, it seems, saw The Dark Knight, but he had smaller projects too. One of those was directing a music video for the band Modest Mouse, for their song “King Rat.”
The video, which is animated, is meant be a statement against modern whaling practices in Ledger’s home country of Australia. Sadly, Ledger died before he could complete the video, so The Masses, a film and music company Ledger was a partner in, stepped in along with co-director Daniel Auber to finish it.”

King Rat
When it’s on iTunes, proceeds from the video will go towards the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, a non-profit focusing on marine wildlife conservation.
More proof Heath Ledger was taken from us too soon. It’s hard not to imagine how much good he could have done for the world had he remained in it just a little longer.
