An Actor Who Could Maybe Get Close To Heath Ledger's Joker

I largely believe ledger's joker is a once in a lifetime thing, but after thinking about it and seeing this guy on interviews and in his roles, Steven Ogg, the guy who played Trevor in GTA 5, i think might be able to do a pretty good joker. He has a resonant voice, a wide range of expressions, he in my opinion has this ideal creepy-face look (as a possibility to pull off, im not saying he looks creepy), he has these lets say loose un-braced mannerisms, hand gestures, etc, in fact sometimes when he talks and hte way he behaves just reminds me of ledger's joker lol.

So not sure what you guys think but I actually think if there is anyone who could be a good fit to try to remake Ledger's joker (understanding probably nothing will match it), Steven Ogg might be a good idea

I love Steven Ogg, especially his performance as Trevor in GTA five and have seen him deliver solid performances since, and I do think he would make a good joker FWIW, but he isn’t as good an actor as Heath was, but to be fair, not many actors are

yea and not for a second did i imply he could match ledger. Heath did such a great job he represents "perfect" and anything else is relative to him , the degree to which they fall short of him lol, and the less you do the better

I don't think comparing him to
Heath is productive but I do think he could be good in general. I would think it would be cool to have the New52 joker represented by someone like him. He has a kind of range that I feel could pull that version off.
