If joking about Brokeback Mountain, Heath Ledger would say, "I never drew upon my love for Michelle.  Um, my love for [Jake's character] is very different."

"W" is worldly

If he gave an interview to The Observer UK, Heath Ledger would talk quickly and with a worldly intelligence about far too many topics to fit in one article. He would talk about how much he admired Terry Gilliam and his excitement at doing Gilliam's next film. He would talk about skateboarding through his Brooklyn neighbourhood. He would talk about playing chess, about learning accents for movies, about directing music videos, about living a nomadic existence, about his restless search to challenge and surpass himself.

If Jake were to host the TV show Saturday Night Live, his performance as Frank O'Connor would be captured on DVD in Saturday Night Live: The Best of Amy Poehler (2009).

If Jake wanted to do some television, and didn't mind some nepotism, he would play Matt Ellison on "Homicide:  Life on the Street", in an episode entitled "Bop Gun", directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal (1994).


Apparently, this episode, with Robin Williams, was named one of the top 100 TV episodes of all time by Time Magazine.

"C" is choreography

If asked how he and Heath Ledger approached the intimate scenes in Brokeback Mountain, Jake Gyllenhaal would say, "To me, the physical stuff was easy.  It's a choreography.  It's a dance. That's how we did it... So for me, it was just getting the steps right for the camera."

If Jake were to play royalty, it would be as Prince Dastan in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010).

If Jake wanted to have a little fun on television, he would do several guest-spots on "Ellen".

"F" is flatland

If asked if he had a certain longing for loneliness considering his roles in Brokeback Mountain and Jarhead, Jake Gyllenhaal would say, "I don't know if it's a longing for it, it's just something that I relate to.  I didn't realize, either, that it was going to be that lonely until we got out there.  Both Jarhead and Brokeback Mountain, the topography of both of the areas was desert and flatland and then huge mountains.  It was nothing but nature around and your own mind.  So I don't know if I really understood that that's what it was going to be.  When you read the script, you're like, 'Oh, cool.  I get to ride horses!' -- and then you're like alone for three months."

If Jake were to give interviews, he would agree to be on the show Jiminy Glick in Lalawood (2004).
