	But regardless he still seems to have alot of beef with interviewers who "pester" him with Star Wars questions. I wonder why. shrugs Because that is what comprises of 99% of his questions. How many people know he played a soldier of the First Infantry Division in The Big Red One? How many people know he was a major voice actor in the new Scooby Doo shows? Batman cartoon? He is probably the biggest voice actor in America right now, yet no one realizes it. All they can think of is Skywalker and not any of his other movies/cartoons. Also, Carrie is happier doing scripts than acting, she even said it herself a while ago. -----signature----- BSG Costume Group.

	Count me in as another Mark Hamill fan. His performance in the OT is very underrated and I'm so tired of people constantly harping on the Toshe Station remark like that was the only thing that came out of his mouth in three films. Hamill always struck me as someone who had the right attitude regarding his star wars experience. Perhaps he had regrets but he always seemed to be very gracious and didn't bad mouth anyone. -----signature----- After all of this star wars stuff is over lets beam up to Quarks Bar and have a couple of drinks then visit one of his holosuites.

	I knew about his part in The Big Red One! (See my post above) I also knew about his voice acting. Say, as well as the Batman cartoons, didn't he also do the voice of the Hobgoblin in the Spiderman cartoons? He was also in The Flash as the Trickster! His acting ability is incredible! The main thing that sticks in my mind about his acting in the Star Wars movies, is the scene where he gets his hand cut off. He genuinely looked as if he was in agony! -----signature----- Anger, Fear and Aggression...the Dark Side of the Force are they.

	What's Mark Hamill done? A few TV appearences and a role in John Carpenter's 1990 film Body Bags. Star Wars was basically his one and only major break. "What's Mark Hamill done? The Big Red One(A very good war movie) Corvette Summer{very underatted, and one of his best acting roles) Slipstream(a pretty good sci-fi movie) Dozens of cameos Tons of voice acting roles including The Batman animated series and movie. Wing Commander computer series His own comic series "The Black Pearl" There's more but I think that'll do for now.

	I also must say I don't think I've ever seen Mark get negative about SW- he's always very kind about it. I mean, certainly there are several other SW actors that have bashed SW in comments to a far greater extent than Hamil ever has- Ford, Mcgreggor, Guinness, Stamp, etc. If you're gonna complain about a SW actor about this subject, start with them. Hamil's waaaaay down the list. -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

	You can't blame the guy for being testy on occasion. How many times can you answer the same question for 20 years? He also spent a good many years on broadway after Star Wars instead of cashing in on his Luke Skywalker image because he was so afraid of being typecast. Problem was they forgot who he was when he came back. You ever watch TLC or the Discovery channel. If you listen you'll hear his voice on quite a few of those documentaries. -----signature----- Have a question or suggestion for the Archive? Ask the NEWBS! Thank you Phillies!

	Hamill may have not been successful on the big screen post-SW, but he was very successful on the stage (didn't he get a Tony nomination), and later in animation. Like others have said above, I've never seen him speak negatively about his involvement with SW. He's even said before that he often enjoys working on B-movie projects because they give him an opportunity to work in genres he enjoys while at the same time maintaining something of a low profile. Personally, I think Hamill is a very talented actor, and I'm hoping one day I'll be able to get him for a movie somewhere down the road. -----signature----- Pardon Our Dust: This Signature Is Currently Under Construction Reopening Soon.

	Mark Hamill did extensive TV and commercial work prior to his star wars experience. Of the original three lead actors, he actually was the most experienced. He was offered a role as one of the lead actors in "Eight is Enough" if I'm not mistaken. I think he refused the part because the character he was to portray was a little to goody two shoes and didn't have enough of an edge. Well anyway, "Eight is Enough" was a very popular TV show and he could of shared in it's success. -----signature----- After all of this star wars stuff is over lets beam up to Quarks Bar and have a couple of drinks then visit one of his holosuites.

	Hamill did the pilot for EIGHT IS ENOUGH, then went and did SW. When it became a success, he asked the network to let him out of his contract, but they refused. A few days before the series was supposed to start shooting its regular episodes, he had his car accident, and his part was recast. For awhile, though, he could still be glimpsed in a couple shots of the show's opening title sequence. -----signature----- Pardon Our Dust: This Signature Is Currently Under Construction Reopening Soon.
