A trailer for Spike TV’s Heath Ledger documentary was released yesterday in honor of the late actor’s birthday. Ledger, who died from an accidental mixture of prescription drugs in 2008, would have turned 38 years.<\/p>\n

The doc\u00a0I Am Heath Ledger<\/em>\u00a0includes\u00a0interviews with his family, friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n

“Before Brokeback Mountain<\/em> came out, it would’ve been unthinkable to have a romantic tragedy involving two gay cowboys,” said\u00a0Ben Mendelsohn. “This is one of the biggest heartthrobs on earth taking on that character. That’s an artist.”<\/p>\n

Director Ang Lee added, “Even as a supporting actor, he’ll steal the whole show. That’s Heath Ledger.”<\/p>\n

The trailer also features never-before-seen footage of the\u00a0Dark Knight<\/em>\u00a0star \u2014 much of which was shot by\u00a0Ledger himself, as he always wanted to pursue directing. But filmmaker Matt Amato said, \u201cHe wanted fame \u2014 and then when he got it, he didn\u2019t want it.”<\/p>\n

I Am Heath Ledger<\/em> airs May 17 at 10 p.m. ET\/PT on Spike TV. It will also makes its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 23, and screen in select theaters beginning May 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
