Mark Richard Hamill is an american actor who is known by many people for many different reasons, but his two most iconic roles are arguably Luke Skywalker and The Joker from Batman media. However, he is iconic for his very distinctive and skilled voice acting.
Hamill was acutely aware of the fact that he could easily be typecasted, so he worked in films besides Star Wars, though most people wouldn't know them off the top of their head. He also is a a self-described massive comic book nerd, which when you look at what he has done with his career is hardly a surprise
In Star Wars[edit]
Luke Skywalker: If you don't know who Luke is, where have you been the past half century.
Darth Bane: Yes. HE VOICES MOTHERFUCKING DARTH BANE. And he does a proper job of it too, though he sounds an awful lot like another evil bastard he's voiced
Capeshit[edit]
Joker: The Man is synonymous with the Joker due to his amazing work in Batman The Animated Series. Most superhero fans regard him, Heath Ledger, and Joaquin Phoenix as the best of Joker acting. Of the three, Hamill's Joker is by far the most unhinged; seemingly aware that he's a cartoon villain and perfectly happy to lean into being Stupid Evil because that's his job in the show. In contrast to other Jokers, he's the most like his old comic book self.
Trickster: In a less iconic role, Hamill has both voiced and live action performed The Trickster in various media, with his live action appearence being in the CW's The Flash series.
He has also written comics, as if his already impressive work wasn't enough.
Other Performances of Note[edit]
Big Red One: A movie that follows the US army during WWII.
Fire Lord Ozai: Hot damn, Hamill really turns his evil on for this character. Everything from child abuse to mass murder is on the table in what is one of his most evil roles. He alone adds to why this show is so good.
Regular Show: He voices Skips. The character starts out interesting, but gets ruined by both dumb story writing and the overall decrease in quality in Season 8. Still, wonderful to hear him even if the role isn't the best.
Child's Play: FUCKING CHUCKY
Wait, he did what?[edit]
There is also stuff most people didn't know he did, but is largely unremarkable. A brief list is detailed here with some of the more interesting ones
- Clifford The Big Red Dog
- Codename Kids Next Door

- General Hospital
