River Phoenix or Heath Ledger - Which actor would have had the most successful long lasting career? (Finals O/T)

[Takes Two To Tango]

Continuation to these threads.

If these actors didn't die young - Which 4 would have had the most successful long lasting careers?

(Actors who died before age 45.) I know some of these actors had great short span careers. But I believe Marilyn Monroe career if she lived would have faded imo. My picks:

River.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Seeing as how there is a new Joker role every few years... Heath

 

[LEWIS540]

The drug pushers of America!

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

River. Ledger is really only known for the Joker while River was good in everything he did. He would have likely had a Leo DiCaprio like career. In fact, he probably would have taken all of the roles Leo would have gotten.

 

[TheNinja]

I'll be honest. I really only know River from Stand By Me. I've seen Heath in a lot more movies. I pick Heath.

 

[syct23]

Didn’t Heath already win this title due to having lived longer and having a more successful career… ?

 

[eddymotto]

I picked Heath Ledger because he was an established star at the time of his death.

Phoenix was definitely a young star on the rise but lots of those actors still don't make it to the top. Ledger actually did.

 

[StewDogg11]

I'll be honest. I really only know River from Stand By Me. I've seen Heath in a lot more movies. I pick Heath.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?

 

[TheNinja]

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?

I've never seen it. I saw parts of Raiders and Temple but that's it. Not a big fan of that franchise genre in general I guess.

River Phoenix

 

[Thepaintbucket]

DCs MO is mismanagement. They would've found a way to screw up future joker movies. Christopher Nolan was also already done by the Batman trilogy.

 

[whocares]

I recently watched Brokeback Mountain because I'm GAY no j/k its actually a great movie and it's a damn shame about Heath, he had huge chops and could've been good in any role. Phoenix was so young when he broke out (and died) it's hard to know what his career arc would've been like.

 

[AGGAMEMNON66]

Both would have been great but for different reasons imo.. Heath was a bit more mainstream while Phoenix as he aged seemed to fall in love with indy style films and art projects

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Looks like Ledger takes this. Which is not a surprise.
