Carrie Fisher & Mark Hamill having fun on the set of Star Wars (1977)

Mark Hamill As The Trickster “The Flash”
Mark Hamill is like the Tony Hawk of cartoon voice actors; in spite of the fact that he’s been doing it for decades and has played some of the most well known characters in some of the most popular shows around, everybody is still absolutely flummoxed to learn that their favourite character was voiced by Mark Hamill.
I am beside myself with this information. Absolutely dumbfounded. Spent my lunch break nearly crying in confusion and/or relevation reading a wikipedia article
I think my favourite is the short where Joker (voiced by Mark Hamill) teams up with the Trickster (voiced by Mark Hamill) to kidnap famous voice actor Mark Hamill (voiced by Mark Hamill), only for the villainous duo to be defeated by Swamp Thing (voiced by Mark Hamill).
C'mon man, you gotta at least share it!
Literally I’ve seen this post so many times and only now having watched the short do I also know that Mark Hamill assists in his own rescue by doing the voices of the Joker and Trickster to trick them into fighting and driving onto grass where Swamp Thing can capture them.
Mark said it was the only thing he’s done where he was sleeping with the entire cast.
I think one of my favorite stories I’ve ever heard Mark Hamill tell is the one about how the first time he heard the score for A New Hope he got sort of jokingly offended because it seemed like every other character had a specific song for them and he didn’t and John Williams just looked at him and said “…The main theme is your song” and Mark was like “WHAT OMG” like he didn’t actually understand before that moment that he was the protagonist.
And this, from a recent interview:
Plus, since Harrison was a traditional leading man, and I hadn’t read the screenplay, I thought he was the star of the film, and that I was Bucky to his Captain America, that I was the kid sidekick. Because in the screen test that we did, I was kind of annoying and he was so cool. But I’ll never forget, I remember the chair I was sitting in, the one-bedroom apartment looking out at the beach looking at the sundown of the ocean, and I couldn’t believe it. I was thrown for a minute. I thought, “Wait a minute.” Because on the front page, it said “The Adventures of Luke Starkiller.” [Lucas soon changed the last name.] I said, “Wait a second. I thought I was Luke. Oh, Harrison must have been Luke.” I started reading it and then I got to where they’re describing me and I said, “Wait a second. I’m Luke!” I didn’t think I was the star of the movie, I thought it was just from my point of view.
This is the sweetest thing
