Heath Ledger in The Thornbirds

DISCLAIMER: This post is nothing but nonsensical. While watching THE ORDER aka THE SIN EATER, a thought crossed my mind that Ledger would have made a really good Father Ralph. Now, there are no plans to remake the story and even if there were, obviously Ledger couldn't be in it but I will be making my hypothetical argument here anyway.

1- If there were ever a priest to fall for, he would be it.
2- Though not obvious in the mini series, Fr. Ralph was supposed to be Irish, Ledger did Irish in NED KELLY & ROAR
3- Beach sex seen+ Heath= me happy
4- BROKEBACK Proved that he could successfully pull off being torn between what your heart wants (Meggie Cleary) and what you are.
5-Though primarily a love story, the relationship between Fr. Ralph and Meggie starts when he is the only one to care about her as a little girl. As a father, he'd have the tenderness to pull this off.
6- It takes place in Australia
7- It involves his character dying which happened in at least half his movies so he's used to it
8-It would give him a chance to work with Terry Gilliam again (I've decided he's directing, he needs the work)
9-He has already been trained for the stunts and horse riding

and lastly,
10- Seeing what he would have looked like old
