Professional History

Mark Hamill is an American character actor best known for his portrayal of the hero Luke Skywalker in the films Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi from 1977 to 1983. In 1992, he came to DC to voice the DC Animated Universe version of the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series, who has since become his most iconic character next to Luke Skywalker. He has gone on to voice this version of the Joker in various films and shows, including Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, and Justice League, as well as other versions of the character, such as the Arkhamverse version in the Batman: Arkham Asylum video game trilogy.

Since the original Star Wars trilogy ended, Hamill has primarily worked as a voice actor, providing the voices for many iconic characters. Outside of the Joker, he has notably voiced Fire Lord Ozai on Avatar: The Last Airbender, the Hobgoblin on Spider-Man: The Animated Series, and Skips on Regular Show, as well as many bit parts in other animated series such as Gravity Falls and Adventure Time.

Hamill has also done some live-action work at DC, most notably the Trickster on the 1990 TV series The Flash, and later an older Trickster on the rebooted series on The CW in 2014. He also returned to the role of Luke Skywalker for the films Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker from 2015 to 2019.
