    The Joker`s true voice! hide show

    He perfectly captured the Joker's exuberance and insanity. Not since Cesar Romero in the 60's has an actor been so synonymous with the character. He effortlessly shifts his voice from threatening, to jovial to insane, to a lighthearted. The shifting and never breaking character or sounding like he is 'putting on a voice,' like other voice actors do, especially when asked to play a character with such an extreme personality is what makes his version of the Joker so vibrant and believable.
    In closing let me remind you of Hamill's Cackle, that maniacal laugh which is the calling card of the Joker, is music to the ears of all true lovers of this iconic character. An icon that now has a voice!

    A fantastic actor and voice actor. hide show

    Legend would have us believe that a curse has hit all but one of the original star wars actors (the one unaffected being Harrison Ford), i say thats a load of rubbish. Mark Hamill will always be known to every one as Luke Skywalker... but also the joker from another fantastic series Batman: t.a.s. Also i'm a huge fan of Phantom 2040 and Mark plays Dr. Jak in that. If you're a fan of "the flash" and have seen the series then you will also know him as the prankster. Although behind the scenes and providing voices Mark has worked hard, for a long time and deserves credit, where credit is due. I look forward now to finding other shows that M.H has completed.

    Mark Hamill's most famous role is probably when he played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. hide show

    Since Star Wars I knew Mark Hamill was Luke Skywalker. Then when I saw that he played the villian Fire Lord Ozai in Avatar: The Last Airbender I decided to check his profile out on TV.com. Nobody was editor so I decided to start submitting stuff and eventually I became editor. I liked Mark Hamill's appearance on The Simpsons. He has done many voice roles my favourites being on Avatar: The Last Airbender, Futurama, Danny Phantom, and The Simpsons. My favourite appearance of his was definitly when he played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. Overall Mark Hamill is a great actor.

    I cant seem to remember Mark Hamill in other films besides his best or maybe even the best performance of a actor of all time, He is a great actor beacuse looking at the Popular Movies i have seen some of those movies myself and I think he is a Very Phenominal Actor and he should have gotten More Big Breaks.

    This guys pretty awesome. hide show

    First of all if anyone's reading this, which I really doubt that anyone is because I'm pretty sure people just write these reviews to level up or to waste time or something, too obsessed with the thought that other people are going to read their reviews. I know I just write reviews about the cast of the show Avatar: The Last Airbender so I can level-up. Anywho, back to what I was saying, if anyone is reading this just to let you know Mark Hamill is a pretty awesome guy. He does the voice of Fire Lord Ozai on Avatar, and he is also Darth Vader. So it's like should be a scene in Avatar like this:
    Ozai: Zuko, I am your father.
    Zuko: NOOOOOOO!!!
    I would probably pay to see a dub like that, especially if it was made by the creators.
