Robbie is the riff on Bob Dylan that Ledger portrays in Todd Haynes’ I’m Not There.
He didn’t originally plan to be a part of the film, but circumstances intervened…
"I had no choice, really. Michelle (Williams) was cast in the movie before I was. And I read her script. Another guy was playing Robbie, and he pulled out at the last minute.
“I just kind of put my hand up and said, ‘I'll be in Montreal. I'd love to be a part of the project.’ And Todd said, ‘OK.’
And he threw himself into his research.
“It's a wonderful excuse to research this figure. I knew very little about Dylan prior to the movie. I knew the obvious songs and a little bit about his history.”

Amazing, I love it. Howeverrr, I'm pretty sure Matilda was born in 2005, so she's 3 now, turning 4 at the end of the month.. And C should have been for Candy!

His role as skip in lords of dogtown was excellent. On the bonus features you hear the real skip talk and ledger nailed it.
