Trivia
Father of Nathan Hamill (b. 25 June 1979), Griffin (b. 4 March 1983), Chelsea (b. 27 July 1988)

In an ironic counterpoint to his problem of being typecast as a upright hero like Luke Skywalker in live-action roles, he has found that his successful career as an animation voice actor has typecast him as a player of flamboyant villains like the Joker in the animated "Batman" (1992) series.

Attended Yokosuka High School on Yokosuka Naval Base. School now named Nile C. Kinnick High School

Hamill met his wife, Mary Lou York, when she was his dental hygienist.

He did all his own stunts in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) --except two places: where Luke Skywalkers jumps off the plank into the Sarlaac, turns, and flips back onto the plank and on the Death Star when Vader throws his saber at the supports of the catwalk. According to _The Making of Return of the Jedi_ by John Philip Peecher (c. 1983), Mr. Hamill's stunt double, Colin Skeaping, performed both of these stunts.

He accidentally hit Peter Stormare during a fight scene in Hamilton (1998).

He did all his own stunts in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980), except in the scene in Cloud city where he is sucked out of a window.

He was originally cast as David on "Eight Is Enough" (1977), and asked to be released from his contract before _Star Wars (1977)_ came out because he sensed the movie would be successful, and Hamill wanted to focus on his movie career. ABC refused to release him from his contract, thinking that having a successful movie star connected with the show would help Eight is Enough. Hamill was then in a car crash in December 1976 and injured his face. This made him unavailable for shooting the TV series, and ABC was forced to recast the role of David, which then went to Grant Goodeve.

Is the 4th of 7 children

Auditioned for American Graffiti (1973).

Appeared in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001), which also starred Carrie Fisher. It was the first time the two had starred together since Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983). Neither of them knew that the other was involved in the project until shortly after filming had been completed.

Claims his inspiration for the vocal interpretation as The Joker on the animated "Batman" (1992) came from a mixture of Hannibal Lecter and Jerry Lewis.

Attended Annandale High School in Annandale, Virginia before his father was transfered.

In 1995, he appeared in Village of the Damned (1995) for director John Carpenter. That same year, Carpenter released another movie: _In the Mouth of Madness (1995)_ . A newspaper boy was played by Hayden Christensen, who went on to play his father (Anakin Skywalker) in the Star Wars prequels.

He kept his Luke Skywalker boots, from the first "Star Wars" movie. When the movie was re-released to theaters in the late 1990s, his son asked if he could wear the boots to a showing. Hamill said no, telling him he didn't think the boy would "get out alive" if fans knew his boots were the originals.

Though in the Star Wars trilogy he shoots a pistol and swings a light saber right-handed, he eats and writes left-handed. He can be seen eating left-handed in The Empire Strikes Back when in Yoda's home and writing left-handed on a guest appearance on the show Third Rock From the Sun.

Along with Elizabeth Taylor and 'Joe Mantegna (I)' , he is one of only three actors to play both themselves and a fictional character in "The Simpsons" (1989). He played both himself and Leavelle in the Season Ten episode "Mayored to the Mob".

Ambidextrious.

Director Stephen Weeks originally wanted him for the part of Sir Gawain in Sword of the Valiant: The Legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (1984) but the producers refused and insisted on Miles O'Keefe.

Mark and his Star Wars co-star Harrison Ford were both considered for the role of the bumbling wizard Schmendrick in the 1982 animated adaptation of The Last Unicorn.

Played the infamous Flash villain, The Trickster aka James Jesse (a word play for old west bandit Jesse James, a popular stunt for Flash creator Gardner Fox and other series writers), in both the short lived live action CBS series "The Flash", in 1991 (two episodes), and in the "Justice League Unlimited" animated series in 2005, in the episode "Flash and Substance".

Personal quotes
I have a sneaking suspicion that if there were a way to make movies without actors, George (Lucas) would do it.

"Acting in 'Star Wars' I felt like a raisin in a giant fruit salad, and I didn't even know who the cantaloupes were."

"I had the accident way before Star Wars came out, but what really happened has been terribly distorted. I broke my nose, that's it! But I've read accounts about how my face has been reconstructed with plastic surgery and how I was pulling myself along the highway with one arm looking for help. I even heard that I drove off a cliff! That's the best one of all." - Mark Hamill on his auto accident.

The idea of The Force is basically "Religion's Greatest Hits".

"You know how there are some stars out there who know how to market themselves? I don't have that."

"You know where [the pride] comes from? It's not so much from the industry ... but the 9-year-old kid who looks at you like a cross between Superman and Santa Claus. And you'd have to be a really, really hardened cynic not to be moved by that. Not only that, but just doing the interviews for this animation series, I can't tell you how many people have said, 'I got into the business because of that movie.' ... I totally understand that because I remember walking out of Jason and the Argonauts (1963) and saying, 'I don't know how they got those skeletons to fight, but someday I want that to be my job. To make skeletons fight.'"

"I never saw myself so much as an actor. I wanted to be a cartoonist like Charles M. Schulz and create my own world and be able to have a studio at home and not commute and be able to be with my family. I just didn't have the skills to pull that off and so I've gravitated toward theater because I like all of it."

"I think theater has given me the opportunity to show what a character actor I can be."

"I've learned that the movies [Star Wars] will never finally end. It just goes on and on and on and on. I mean, it's going to be in 3D, then it's going to be smellivision, then it's going to be a ride in an amusement park, then they'll come to your house and perform it with puppets on your lawn ... it'll never end! I accepted that a long time ago."

"I can't tell you how much we laughed on the set to have Alec Guinness in a scene with a big, furry dog that's flying a space ship."

Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
Boyish-looking actor who created the character of Luke Skywalker in George Lucas' classic Star Wars series. Not a terribly versatile performer, he got across enough energy and postadolescent frustration in Star Wars (1977) to create considerable sympathy for his character. Before that film, he had appeared in TV movies and done voiceovers for cartoons. He was in a serious auto accident after completing shooting on Star Wars and much of his face had to be completely reconstructed, accounting for his gaunt, hollow look in the first sequel, The Empire Strikes Back (1980). As the trilogy continued, Hamill stood still as an actor while costar Harrison Ford grew into a very credible action hero and romantic lead, and while Hamill remains the focal point of all the movies, much of the intrigue of their storylines was transferred to Ford and costar Carrie Fisher by the time of wrap-up Return of the Jedi (1983). Buoyed by his Star Wars fame, Hamill was starred in Corvette Summer (1978), and featured in Samuel Fuller's WW2 ensemble piece The Big Red One (1980) and The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia (1981), but never established himself as a bona fide star. (He fared better on Broadway, where he played "The Elephant Man" and Mozart in "Amadeus," to good reviews.) A big-budget British science fiction film, Slipstream (1989), never even got U.S. theatrical release. Hamill now stars in such video releases as Black Magic Woman (1990) and Wishman (1991). He's also the voice of The Joker on the animated "Batman" TV series, and in the feature Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993).
