Mark Hamill Then
In the original Star Wars trilogy, Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, was a cultural giant who impacted generations of filmmakers. Unfortunately, mark’s Star Wars fame didn’t always bode well for his career. “I don’t want Luke Skywalker in my video,” said one producer vehemently. Mark’s performance was too famous for him to be swiftly cast in further films, and he spent the remainder of his career doing voiceover work. Many of the recent cartoon renditions of the tale had him as Batman’s evil enemy, the Joker.

Who cares what you look like when your sole job is off-screen? For a time, Mark Hamill let it go because, after all, who cares if no one sees you? And the traffic accident he was involved in during the first Star Wars film didn’t help things. As shown in The Empire Strikes Back, there are actually scars from the collision. As Star Wars revived for a second trilogy, and he was invited to resume the role of Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamill was urged to hit the gym and reclaim some of his prior good-looking splendor. It was a success, and he still views himself as the sex appeal he once was.
