I didn't realize he was that old! We know her the best s Luke Skywalker from the original Star Wars movies! He has done other movies but he is more of a voice actor now! He does cartoons and video game voices! He is 60 and still going stronge!

Good for him, he's had a pretty varied career, and yes these days is best known as a voice actor. Some folks have said I used to look like him, so I've always had a soft spot for him. He was a great looking guy, and had amazing success with the Star Wars series; he peaked early, and it may have been tough for him to follow up such spectacular early success. But he's had a good career nonetheless. I'd like to think he could be offered an amazing movie role to provide him with a late flowering leading man career; to match his great early success. I wonder if that might happen...

Or have him play again in another Star wars movie with other Star Wars actors who have also aged since then.

Hi Steph. I'd be for anything that provoked a major late flowering career revival for him; as happened for Travolta. He deserves it; he's worked so hard.

I am amazed Mark Hamill has not had not lead roles in the movies in a long time. Maybe it could still happen. I've known he was a voice actor but didn't realize how much he has done! Quite a career Mr.Hamill has had!

Yes Star Wars was first released in 1977! Hamill was around 25 at the time. You are right. Time is not waiting for anyone! I will be 50 in May of 2012 and I have wondered where time has gone! It's crazy!

I have always known who Luke Skywalker's real name was! I am surprised he is big in voice acting! That is great and I am glad Mark Hamill is still in the busniess!
