Author	Topic: Mark Hamill, stop your whining!!!!!!!!!!!!
DarthWindu71 Registered: Apr '03	Date Posted: 11/7/03 10:51am Subject: Mark Hamill, stop your whining!!!!!!!!!!!!
	I am going to post it in every forum. Why is he always bashing Star Wars? Everytime there is an interview about Star Wars, always a negative comment!!! I mean he says he doesn't want to be remembered as only Luke, but guess what Mr. Hamill, it is the role that got you discovered!! And what else major Film appearances have you done? He blames his lack of film roles on the stereotype of Luke, but maybe, just maybe it's his acting skills. He has done great voice over work for many many projects, and that is nothing to be ashamed about, but maybe he isn't a "great" silver screen actor. Many other people in the OT never had a problem finding work in film, so he really can't blame that for his lack of film work. He should be lucky that he had the opportunity to be in the movies, it put him on the map. But as for everything else, it's his, and only his ability and responsibility to succeed. Maybe he is only good for voice overs. Yes, he did play Luke, but it was far from an Academy Award performance. So stop bashing Star Wars Mr. hamill, it got you where you are today. Stop being a whiny little brat like Jake Lloyd!!! Thanks for listening... Anyone agree?

	No I don't agree. I think SW did get Mark Hamill type casted. It happens a lot with certain actors who are involved in a huge movie or tv show. They get so associated with the role that made them famous, they find it hard to get other roles that differ from what made them so famous. -----signature----- *"Sir Tampon" of the Knights of The 3SA Sarcasm Table* Philadelphia Phillies 2008 World Series Champions Come on Eagles, we want another parade down Broad Street Fight on USC!!!

	i personally think that Mark Hamill did a really excellent job portraying Luke.. his character development throughout the trilogy is very well done. I don't think that his acting skills are why he didnt become a big star like Harrison. I read somewhere that Mark Hamill really has more of an interest in science fiction, and he made the choice of following his career path into areas that interested him rather than trying to be in big blockbusters that would make him a lot of money. i really respect that. I've also read about how it was hard for him to get roles because people could only see him as Luke Skywalker, like you mentioned. I havent really read anything though that made him sound bitter, although i cant say that i've read much on that subject at all. -----signature----- Suck an elf! http://www.getphpbb.com/phpbb/index.php?mforum=shinycouncil http://twitter.com/shinycouncil

	Hmm...I don't really see what you're talking about. I've never seen Mark bitter or hating his role in Star Wars. If anything, he's thankful for what it's done for his life. Watch his Biography episode. I think it does a pretty decent job of portraying his thoughts on the trilogy. I am going to post it in every forum I wouldn't do that if I were you. That would get you banned, my friend. -----signature----- "One little spark of inspiration is at the heart of all creation." "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

	Oh come on, how would you feel if you got constantly asked about Star Wars? Alot of the actors who were in Star Wars and are currently have been fed up with constant questions about it. And Mark, poor Mark he was fantastic in the OT, no doubt but it's just a shame that it type cast him. He could been a great actor, really had his career, like Harrison Ford's, push off from Star Wars. Let the guy have his say and leave him alone. -----signature----- In Keano we trust.

	Haven't heard of Mark Hamill actually complaining about SW. Being type cast is a legit problem that all actors face and worry about, that is not an actual SW complaint, IMHO. -----signature----- Star Wars is a religion.

	Mark Hamill is a fantastic actor, as were all the actors in the OT! They all made their characters so realistic and three dimensional, quite unlike all the cardboard cut-outs that we have in the PT! And yes, I do find it very hard to look at Mark Hamill in a movie (The Big Red One) without thinking of him as the farm boy from Tatooine. -----signature----- Anger, Fear and Aggression...the Dark Side of the Force are they.

	I think this is what you refer to. I read this interview/on-line chat, the first Mark Hamill interview I have ever read, and I was struck at how gracious and still in awe, Mark Hamill, seemed to be all these years after Star Wars. He gave a nod and said great things about the prequels, said good things about Alex Guiness, Harrison Ford and Lucas and seemed to graciously accept the things he has done outside of Stars Wars and feel truly blessed for the opportunity to be in the business. He is a guy who could be bitter and angry for what has happened to him since Star Wars and instead he has forged ahead on new paths, yet appreciates the past with fond memories, but doesn't live there. He seems to have his head screwed on in the right places. Maybe this isn't the interview you are referring to, but I did not seem to get any whining at all, out of the on-line chat I refer to in my post. -----signature----- "We are not saints, but seekers", Obi Wan quoting Jedi wisdom in THE DARK RIVAL, J.A. # 2.

	I think Mark is underrated as an actor and not just in Star Wars. He was an excellent jedi! Mark was type cast like any other actor in a huge movie.

	Mark says in the interview that he won't be involved in the OT DVDs. Seeing as all the major actors from the Indy flicks are on the DVD, it would be very disappointing if the guy who played Luke isn't on the SW DVDs. I think Mark did a fantastic job as Luke, and his Joker is great too, but I don't think he can blame SW for typecasting him. Taking 6 years off from film after ROTJ and then returning with Slipstream can't have been the smartest move if he wanted a broader screen career.
