Hamill's film career since Star Wars has been undistinguished, and mostly connected to bad scifi movies that went straight to video, but he has been successful on Broadway, as a voice actor in animation, and as a comic book creator.
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. 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 Jak in Phantom 2040.
In live-action televison, 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.
When the Wing Commander series of computer games started using full motion video cut-scenes, Hamill was cast as the series protagonist, 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). (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 several characters in the LucasArts game Full Throttle, and Wolverine in X2: Wolverine's Revenge, the tie-in game to the movie .
Mark Hamill is also the co-writer of The Black Pearl, a comic book mini-series published by Dark Horse Comics.
Mark Hamill married Marilou York in 1978; they have three children.Overview
