Crazy, I just thought about how people were saying that the Joker looked at lot like the Crow and looked it up. Brandon Lee also died at the age of 28.

I know drugs are prevalent in Hollywood and most actors are careful enough to keep it out of the tabloids, but it's still shocking when you hear about it and it doesn't involve the usual headliners.
