 Heath Ledger in 'I'm Not There' It's been nearly two years since Heath Ledger ran the awards gauntlet with his career-changing, Oscar-nominated turn in "Brokeback Mountain." Since then, save for a little-seen Australian film called "Candy," he's been busy making movies rather than promoting them. One of those films, the Bob Dylan-inspired fever dream known as "I'm Not There," afforded Ledger the rare opportunity to portray Dylan alongside six other actors (among them, Cate Blanchett). Ledger is Robbie in the story, a riff on Dylan as an actor who is struggling to balance a career with home life. These are problems the 28-year-old has no doubt confronted himself; the actor reportedly had a recent split with actress Michelle Williams, the mother of his daughter, Matilda (Williams co-stars in "I'm Not There"). As an interview subject, Ledger is a jittery — if incredibly likeable — man. A nervous laugh always on the tip of his answers and a cigarette in one hand, he explained why he'd run if he ever saw Bob Dylan on the street, what he just has to do every single day and how "A Clockwork Orange" inspired his much-anticipated performance as the Joker.
