Mark Hamill

Mark Hamill is also the co-writer of The Black Pearl, a comic book mini-series published by Dark Horse Comics.
. Hamill married Marilou York in 1978; they have three children.
. He also says that the accident took place "way before Star Wars.". A clip of his scene from the end of the serial The Dalek Invasion of Earth (1964) was used as a pre-credits sequence for the 20th anniversary story The Five Doctors (1983). However, Hamill has been quoted that these allegations are wildly exaggerated, and that all that happened was that he broke his nose. His poor health - arteriosclerosis and cerebrovascular disease brought on by years of alcoholism - as well as poor relations with the new production team forced him to leave Doctor Who in 1966, although he reprised the role in the 10th Anniversary story The Three Doctors (1973) with the help of cue cards and pre-recorded inserts.

Over time, the scarring would become increasingly visible, and he would have to rethink his acting career. He was a tough person to work with, according to the documentation about him. Supposedly he was told by his surgeons that although facial reconstruction surgery could save his career in the short term, it would have only temporary results. (See List of Doctor Who serials.). It is alleged that some time after filming Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope in the late 1970s, Hamill was involved in a car accident, which caused substantial damage to his face. He appeared first on television in The Army Game from 1957-61, and in 1963 gave up movies and took the lead in Doctor Who, for which he is now most widely known. (In the 1999 Wing Commander film, set earlier in the series, the character was played by Freddie Prinze, Jr..) Other notable computer-game roles (voice only) include Lieutenant Mosely in Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, several characters in the LucasArts game Full Throttle, and Wolverine in X2: Wolverine's Revenge, the tie-in game to the movie X2: X-Men United. In 1958 he appeared in the first Carry On film, Carry On Sergeant as Sergeant Grimshaw.

When the Wing Commander series of computer games started using full motion video cut-scenes, Hamill was cast as the series protagonist, Colonel Christopher Blair, a role he played in Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger (1994), Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom (1995), and Wing Commander: Prophecy (1997). From then on, he played mainly policemen, soldiers, and thugs, like Dallow in Brighton Rock. In live-action television, Hamill had recurring roles in General Hospital and The Texas Wheelers (both pre-Star Wars), and, foreshadowing his later famous role, appeared as the Trickster in the live-action television series of The Flash. Hartnell usually played comic characters, until 1944 with the robust role of sergeant Ned Fletcher in The Way Ahead. He also voiced Larry 3000 in Time Squad. After training as a jockey, and boxing, he entered the theatre in 1924. The first of more than sixty film appearances was Say It With Music in 1932. Jak in Phantom 2040. Often known as Billy, he was educated at home and at Imperial Service College.

His success in the role has led to various villainous and/or deranged roles in other animated series, including the Gargoyle in the animated series of The Incredible Hulk, the Hobgoblin in the Spider-Man animated series, Maximus in Fantastic Four, Cock-Knocker from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and the deranged shock jock Dr. William Henry Hartnell (January 8, 1908–April 23, 1975), a British actor, was the first actor to play the lead role of the Doctor in the long-running science fiction television series Doctor Who. Perhaps the role for which Hamill is best known, Luke Skywalker aside, is the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series and the other animated series that followed it. Hamill's film career since Star Wars has been undistinguished, and mostly connected to bad sci-fi movies that went straight to video, but he has been successful on Broadway, as a voice actor in animation and video games, and as a comic book creator. Mark Hamill (born 25 September 1951) is an American actor, best known for his portrayal of farmboy-turned-Jedi knight Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars films.
