And thanks for the info, Leslie.  That's interesting...and it makes sense.  In any event, I'm glad they found each other.

This is absolutely wonderful!! I love what Wes said about Heath! How refreshing to see, that there was no competition bewteen them and that they were there for each other and still are..

This has even more meaning to me, because it is because of Wes Bentley that I 'discovered' Heath! I loved the movie 'American Beauty' and especially Wes' performance. An actor I didn't know at the time. A couple of years later I saw 'Monster's Ball' in the cinema and was highly impressed by all actors (not only Heath necessarily), but found it very disturbing too. I had never watched it again, until after I saw BBM in 2006. On some flight in 2004  though, I saw that they were showing the film 'Four Feathers' which I didn't know. But when I saw that Wes Bentley starred in it, I had to watch it! Needless to say, it was a film I liked very much and Heath's performence just blew me away! Upon my return I then regularly checked for Heath's new projects and that's when I read about him starring in the upcoming BBM... The rest is history..


--- Quote ---"While most of us forget we're alive and are dead on our feet, Heath woke up everyday excited about what was out there to enjoy," wrote Bentley. "He lived in a way that spread so much spark to so many people every day he had. Heath not only lived for himself, if he could've he would Lived for all of us as well. That was his way."

That is a very sweet thing to say! It makes me think of a quote I 'carry around' - "If you walk through life asleep, you'll wake up dead". Wes Bentley seems to be an actor apart from many of his fellow actors. I'd like to believe that he and Heath had a very similar philosophy and view on life and the world.

Wes Bentley seems to be a great guy. The fact that his folks was Methodist just made me smile.  :)
