After Heath Ledger's death, three stars stepped up to finish his part in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. They play various versions of a con man named Tony — and they reportedly all donated their wages to Ledger's daughter, Matilda.
Johnny Depp
Depp, whose work Ledger admired, had collaborated with Gilliam before — on
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and an aborted Don Quixote project.
Jude Law
Before Ledger was even attached to Parnassus, Law, a friend of Ledger's,
had talked to Gilliam about possibly playing the role of Tony.
Colin Farrell
Farrell told an Australian newspaper last year that standing in for
Ledger was ''an incredibly painful honor.... It's about getting Heath's
work out there.''
