- lukifer, on 10/30/2007, -3/+75Pathetic? Mark Hamill is a talented and prolific voice actor.
- miriv365, on 10/25/2007, -1/+26Mark Hammill did the voice work for the Joker in the Batman cartoon. Sure it wasn't on-screen acting, but it was good nevertheless.
- SimianSamurai, on 10/25/2007, -1/+22Mark Hamill (not "Hammill") has a very successful career as a voice actor, and is one of the more sought-after voices in cartoons today. His credits include:
Futurama
Metalocalypse (Rock!)
Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law
Robot Chicken
Batman
Spiderman
Superman
Justice League
Johnny Quest
Powerpuff Girls
3 Wing Commander games
Call of Duty 2
there's more, just read up on imdb - rpoynter, on 10/17/2007, -1/+17agreed. what an ignorant statement. ever watched the animated batman of '98ish? metaloclypse? hamil's voice is all over it.
- hockey, on 10/30/2007, -2/+18Buried for lame jab at Mark Hamill
- dirtyfrog, on 10/19/2007, -1/+14He also played "***** Knocker" in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
- NickyBatts, on 10/25/2007, -0/+12This thing is BS if only for the Peter Cushing *****... what's pathetic about that dudes life? ***** Mark Hamill, Cushing is raw as hell.
1984 anyone? - objectcode, on 10/30/2007, -1/+12the author of this article has a much better career no doubt.
- acdcfanbill, on 10/30/2007, -1/+9The first guy they tackle is Peter Cushing? The guy was practically a star from his Hammer film days.
- lpmiller, on 10/23/2007, -1/+9I think more people need to point out Mark Hamill's voice work.
- cloudyprison, on 10/23/2007, -1/+8Sounds like some journalist (wannabe?) is upset they weren't in a Star Wars movie.
- AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -3/+10Mark Hammill is an incredible voice actor and he's been very successful;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Hamill - koonchu, on 10/17/2007, -1/+8Terribly inaccurate and just plain ol' mean.
- inactive, on 10/25/2007, -1/+7I didn't know Howard Stern played Chewbacca..
- AllenAllen, on 10/30/2007, -1/+7None are working as night-shift WalMart janitors and living in their mom's basements like the creators of these snarky comments. :-)
- mayhemchaos, on 10/25/2007, -0/+6Mark Hamill brought balance to the force as Luke Skywalker and saved an entire galaxy. What other role in movie history can live up to that?
- Lugano, on 10/23/2007, -0/+6Compared to Britney Spears, the guy sleeping down the street in a cardboard box is doing pretty well...
- dupeduperson, on 10/23/2007, -4/+9hello? mark hamill? the voice of the joker? The voice from wing commander? Think again - success.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Hamill - madholepunch, on 10/23/2007, -5/+10metalocalypse ain't pathetic, buried as inaccurate.
- chrisOrbit, on 10/23/2007, -2/+7The article is complete crap and sounds like it was written by a 4 year old.
- sdcarter, on 10/17/2007, -0/+5Best comment I've read in a while (quoted from blog comments):
GhostLine06
I actually almost got into a fight with Boba/Bulloch at a bar after a SciFi convention ten years ago in Hartford, CT. The guy just wouldn't stop hitting on my girlfriend all day and night (she worked at the convention). I am a peaceful person and not one to get involved in fights, but with enough beer and the director of the convention egging me on with "Come-on man Boba Fett is trying to go home with your girlfriend." and "You should just kick his ass so you can tell people my friend beat down Fett" etc... It was getting to a point where beating the ***** out of an old short British actor was sounding good to my drunken 22 year old mind. Alas cooler thoughts prevailed and that night I got laid while he went back to his motel room alone to play with his pulse cannon. Now if he was actually wearing his Boba Fett costume at the bar… then I would have had to beat his ass, just for the bragging rights.
Posted on 10/17/2007 9:02:40 AM - inactive, on 10/18/2007, -0/+5Compared to Britney Spears, my friend Mark is doing just fine.
- Eallan, on 10/23/2007, -1/+6Does anybody know if Mark Hamill has done any cartoon voiceovers?
- spyrochaete, on 10/17/2007, -1/+5He played Detective Mosely in the Gabriel Knight adventure game series. He did a great job of the New Orleans southern accent.
- sdcarter, on 10/30/2007, -0/+3Hayden still has a chance since he's so young. He has some new movie called Jumper coming out that looks... interesting. It co-stars Samuel L. so that's promising.
Although, he should be on here simply for how bad his acting was in 2&3. Christenson pretty much ruined those movies for me with his emo *****. But then again, he was only acting the role Lucas wrote/directed. - Juniper200, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3***** Wing Commander; GK1 is my favorite Hamill video game appearance.
- brstilson, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2So they had three actual actors and the rest of the guys were just people behind masks? One of the guys wasn't even that major of a role. It's pretty hard to be typecast when you don't even show your face.
There are far better actors they could have had on here. Where's Hayden Christenson? - lukifer, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2He probably also played hungry, hungry hippos while eating double, double, chex, chex.
- dillonstars, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2For sure. Peter Cushing was more than just 'practically' a star... he was a living legend. Plus he was already 63 when he did Star Wars, so can hardly be expected to be prolific after that! Christopher Lee had a bit of an advantage being 10 years younger.
- tbenathan, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Hayden Christensen makes Paul Walker look like Peter O'Toole. Something tells me that Lucas' "great find" will have an abysmal, inconspicuous career.
- inactive, on 10/17/2007, -1/+3everytime chinese builds a wall goddamn mongolians always try to knock it down
- lukifer, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2HEY KIDS! IT'S MARK HAMILL! (applause here)
Loved it. - inactive, on 10/25/2007, -2/+4How is this list of achievements not success? Mark has been working steadily since 1970!
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000434/ - inactive, on 10/23/2007, -0/+2They ain't exactly kicking down Carrie Fishers door these day either.
Were all these "stars" participants in the infamous Holiday Star Wars special? - SpectralSounds, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2That Darth Tater toy is awesome. I want one.
Also, Mark Hamill rules. - grouchyman, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1Snoogins.
- sdcarter, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1your point is moot... he liked birdwatching... that's arguably worse than stamp collecting. But I will agree, Cushing WAS "raw as hell."
- inactive, on 10/17/2007, -1/+2Just because he didn't make it as an actor doesn't mean he lived a sad, sad life. He probably lived a happy,happy life.
- dioscaido, on 10/17/2007, -1/+2Agreed! Metalocalypse for the WIN!
- Zedizdead, on 10/23/2007, -2/+3The only thing that is pathetic is this article.
- Boognish, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1"You're far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration. But don't worry, we will deal with your rebel friends soon enough." You could have at least spelled it correctly you lame ass douche cheese!
- toxicityj, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1NOBODY makes fun of Wedge Antilles and gets away with it. expect a visit from Rogue Squadron, jackass
- Fullvinyl, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1I have it; it scares the ***** out of my nephew.
- anillop, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1The cartoon network has been very very good to him.
- Stalks, on 10/17/2007, -0/+15 PORN STAR!? OMG AWESOME! .. oh wait. :(
- Georgery, on 10/23/2007, -0/+1Hmm. The writer of the article made one small typo. Therefore, the whole article must be complete and utter *****, purged from our memories, and we should crucify the person who wrote the article for such a horrendous crime against humanity.
- crakbot, on 10/17/2007, -0/+0This is one thing I hate about American culture. If you do one thing that is one million times more successful then most people ever do, but fail to do it a second time, you are considered a failure. Like if you are a one term president, you are considered somewhat of a failure, or if you had only one huge hit, you are a failure. Geez! Tough crowd!
- vfx2k4, on 10/17/2007, -0/+0What a cruel and stupid article. Those folks are laughing all the way to the bank to cash the 1,000th LucasFilm Ltd. residuals check. Ha ha ha.
- inactive, on 10/17/2007, -0/+0They also have a Spud Trooper http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/plush/7cd4/ and a Artoo Potatoo http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/plush/84a2/
- dmann, on 10/23/2007, -1/+1yeah.... lets see, he didn't end up being a 20 million dollar ***** like Harrison Ford (to paraphrase Joe Pantilano) so that's pathetic. Gee, it sure would suck to be a working actor who has the esteem and praise of everyone he ever works with, and yet be home for dinner with your family. What a crappy career, he's a loser. Excuse me, the fryolator is overflowing and the burger press is jammed.
