2. Bit of an odd coincidence there.
Video of a recently deceased OD'd celebrity wearing clown make-up.

5. Yes. It's ironic that someone who's playing a famous clown dies like one.

10. Dies like a clown?
I thought clowns died in circus fires, elephant stampedes, pie poisonings, and multi-fatality tiny car accidents.

WTF are you talking about?

6. Well, poop- that link is timing out before connecting with me.
I guess it's getting a lot of traffic this evening,
what with the sad news about Mr. Ledger and all.

I'll try again later this evening.

He wasn't in October Sky
That was Jake Gyllenhaal. It was the other character in Brokeback that died.

15. I first saw him on a short lived TV show, ROAR.
I thought he was Irish, since he had a perfect accent. He was just a kid then... 1997.
