10 Actors Who Died Way Too Early By   [22 more lists]

The majority of actors we see on film/tv are just characters. We connect with them on screen, but nothing more. However, there are some actors that have a profound effect on individuals. The audience connects on a more personal basis through these talented actors. The following list is a compilation of talented actors that were more than a character. They were talent and their live's were taken too early. We were not able to see their career amount to what it could have been, but we will never forget these actors.

    Heath Ledger

    Heath Ledger 10 Actors Who Died Way Too Early People picture
    "We know this one is pretty obvious but it still must be mentioned. I think of all the people on this list Ledger had the most promise in terms of having the potential to be known as one of the greatest actors of his generation. The guy just kept getting better in every film he was in and it’s a shame he went when he did."

    River Phoenix

    "I almost feel like Phoenix was a Heath Ledger before there was a Heath Ledger. River started his career earlier and was a successful child actor. As he got older his roles weren’t so great and I’m not sure how good an actor he became. However there was no doubting his talent. Clearly the drug and alcohol abuse got in the way."

    Raúl Juliá

    "Julia was the oldest of this bunch but that doesn’t mean he didn’t die late. The man was young for today’s day and age and he still had plenty of good movies left in him. He had an incredible singing voice and such presence on screen. I wish I could have seen him more."

    John Belushi

    "Belushi was a Chris Farley before there was a Chris Farley. Belushi was one of those guys who was just funny for doing nothing. You could watch the guy for 5 minutes and laugh. Was he a great actor? Yes, in the comedic sense. I feel like he’d have had a very Adam Sandler like career had he not been such a party animal. I could see Belushi in serious roles."

    "He wasn’t just a good looking guy. The man could act. He’ll go down as one of the most "he shouldn’t have died that early" guys in history."

    Respectfully, I would even say River was a better natural actor than Heath. If you look into what was written by peers, directors and colleagues, etc - regarding his enormous talent -- on top of the fact that he had no formal training as an actor.
