A Knight's Tale: Old Set Photos Of Heath Ledger Shared By Co-Star (Screen Rant)

Actor Rufus Sewell shares some candid on-set photos of the late Heath Ledger from Brian Helgeland's 2001 action-comedy A Knight's Tale.

Seeing the actor in old photos is like experiencing his talent all over again and drives home the loss of his tremendous onscreen spirit. Ledger took on the role of Thatcher in A Knight's Tale after appearing in 2000's The Patriot alongside fellow Australian Mel Gibson. That movie, alongside his work in 10 Things I Hate About You, would put him on the road to stardom. The film was a modest hit that showcased Ledger's natural charisma, leading to a number of notable roles in his short career, including Brokeback Mountain and The Dark Knight.

Celebrating what would have been Heath Ledger's 43rd birthday, his A Knight's Tale co-star shared images he believed he had "lost forever."

When asked to name a movie starring Heath Ledger, there are few people who would not go straight to The Dark Knight or Brokeback Mountain. While those movies gave Ledger a status as a great actor of his time, they also manage to overshadow almost all of his other movies that were released prior to his death. Action-comedy A Knight's Tale was one of the movies that brought Ledger to the attention of many and gave him one of his first Hollywood leading roles. By one of those coincidences of fate, the following day actor Rufus Sewell discovered some behind-the-scenes photos of Ledger from the movie A Knight's Tale, which Sewell said he believed “were lost forever.” After finding the images, the actor shared them on social media as a celebration of the tragic actor, who died in 2008 following a drug overdose.
