    He was SO NOT the best actor in Dark Knight…did you have your eyes and ears stitched closed for every second that Heath Ledger was on screen. Muppet.

    Thanks for the shout out mate. Have you seen the footage which didn’t make it?

    Very underwhelming ad with a bad cut where he does the juggling.
    I would love to see the old Sean Bean Sky premiership ad from the mid 90′s if anyone can dig that up – best footy talk up ad ever.
