The celebrated actor Mark Hamill turned 60 years old today!
Mark, known for his character of LUKE SKYWALKER in the STAR WARS trilogy (Episodes 4-6), disappeared from the scene after the Return of the Jedi and turned his career around by becoming a voice actor. In this little known side of acting, Mark left memorable marks in animated films like THE SIMPSONS, and some anime shows, but he is mostly rememberd as the voice of the JOKER in BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES that ran from 1992 to 1995 and offered him a whole series of spinoffs like BATMAN BEYOND: RETURN OF THE JOKER, and the voice job done to BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM (2009) and the upcoming BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY (2011)
To Mark…The staff of JOKER’S LAIR wants to wish you a wonderful birthday, full of joy, happiness and love from your loved ones and your fans. Thank you for voicing the best villain ever all these years!! We love you!
Poor overworked guy; doing The Joker for games & Skips for Regular Show at the same time; both voices equally stressing on the vocal cords.
Mark Hamill, you are one HELL of a guy. Sure hope things are going alright with his voice though, guy’s got so many vocal roles it’s hard to keep track.
