Heath Ledger may be best known for his movie work, but the late Aussie actor first came to Americans' attention on TV.
He was the star of the short-lived Fox series "Roar," which aired from July to September 1997 and was produced by former teen idol Shaun Cassidy.
In this action-adventure series set in 400 A.D., Ledger played Conor, a Celtic Prince who, after his family had been massacred by a rival tribe at his brother's wedding, became the reluctant leader of the local tribes in their fight against the Romans.
The series title came from the moment in the first episode in which Conor was told to "remember all we are and all that's come before and hear the roar... the voice that echoes in every living thing, the power that binds us together." (Thanks to Brooks and Marsh's "Complete Directory to PrimeTime TV for the info.)
