Officials in Heath Ledger's Australian hometown have named a theater after him. The $87 million, 575-seat Heath Ledger Theater in Perth will honor the late actor's commitment to acting, Western Australia state Premier Alan Carpenter said at a naming ceremony Tuesday.
"Heath Ledger was totally dedicated to the craft of being an actor and that's what made him successful," Carpenter said, according to the Associated Press. "I think what we're doing is continuing that support for young people who want to make a career in the arts and acting, stage and in film, whatever it happens to be."
Heath Ledger died from an accidental drug overdose in January. His role in the new Batman movie as the Joker is already getting him rave reviews!
