10 Questions With Mark Hamill

Mark Hamill is Luke Skywalker. He is the Joker. He is also the Trickster. Mark Hamill has played some of my most favorite characters of all time. I was very fortunate and got to ask Mr. Hamill a few questions.

(Danniel Slade) Mark, thank you so much for taking the time to chat with me about your career. I want to start off by asking, what got you into acting?

(Mark Hamill)  

(DS) Awesome! What was it like getting the role of Luke Skywalker?

(MH)  

(DS) Did you sense that Star Wars was going to blow up like it did when you were filming?

(MH)  

(DS) What is one memorable thing that happened on the set of the Original Trilogy or Episode VII?

(DS) If you could go back to the beginning of filming, is there anything you would change about your performance or the character himself?

(DS) Moving on from Star Wars, you played the Trickster in the 90s Flash television show. You recently reprised your role of the Trickster on CWs The Flash. What was it like coming back to that character after all those years?

(MH)  

(DS) Your performance as the Trickster was epic! Where do you get your inspiration for the character? Does any part of him come from your years as the Joker?

Okay, okay, I’ll admit that this was all in good fun. I really do hope to interview Mr. Hamill one day. Two future projects that are on the way are Batman: The Killing Joke, August 2, 2016 and Star Wars Episode VIII, December 15, 2017.

Mr. Hamill, if by chance you find this humorous and would be willing to let me interview you for real, please feel free to email me at danniel@templeofgeek.com.
