Born on September 25, 1951, in the California city of Oakland, Hamill led a nomad’s life, with an upbringing that was one extended road trip, thanks to his dad’s Navy career.
Let’s roll back the clock to 1977, when a fresh-faced Hamill kicked off his Star Wars journey with A New Hope. Besides the thrill of fighting Darth Vader, Hamill pocketed an impressive $650,000. But the icing on the cake? A share in the movie’s profits.
Perhaps his most well-known (and praised) is his work on Batman: The Animated Series, on which he portrays the Clown Prince of Crime, the Joker. From animated TV shows to video games, Mark’s voice acting is top-tier.
