Andy Luther shares the exact direction Heath Ledger gave him on the set of The Dark Knight that forever changed how he views the physicality of acting.


Andy Luther is a theatrical and film actor who played the pivotal Brian Douglas character in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, working one-on-one with history's most iconic Joker.
