Heath Ledger Joker sounds like Quark from Deep Space 9.

yeah, Tom Waits is much closer in comparison than Quark. Quark doesn’t slur his speech and is more nasally than than gravelly.

I am now wondering if Ledger pulled inspiration from Waits.

its rumored that he did, but i dont know if he ever explicitly said it... however i tend to lean towards the camp that he in fact did, seeing as how him and waits wound up working together on the imaginarium of dr parnassus.

i bet he did some research on waits, or already knew him, saw that interview and he picked up on it. whether or not he did it on purpose or it just crept its own way into his acting lexicon, we'll never know
