Though it has been revealed earlier that three Hollywood actors have been cast to fill the gap left by late Heath Ledger in "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus", it seems that the fantasy drama film still needs another actor. According to press release, people behind "Imaginarium" are still looking for a Ledger's lookalike to replace the 28-year-old actor.
Reports stated that the movie bosses have sent request for Ledger's lookalike to actors' agents. The request letter allegedly read, "Please only suggest actors who look like Heath Ledger and are between five foot 11 inches and six foot three inches." Reportedly, the lookalike actor is needed because Ledger passed out while he was midway through the filming.
Back in the mid-February, it was reported that Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell have agreed to step into the role left by Ledger. They will be playing the character of a mysterious outsider who joins the Dr. Parnassus theater troupe on a quest through parallel worlds. The three actors were believed to be signed to give different characteristics to the personage as he went through different worlds.
