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

Who cares what you look like when your only job is off-screen? For a while, Mark Hamill let it slide because, after all, who cares if no one sees you? And the road accident he had during the first Star Wars film certainly didn’t help matters. As seen in The Empire Strikes Back, there are genuine scars from the crash. 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 sees himself as the sex appeal he once was.
