MARK HAMILL: BACK IN ACTION!


Way back in 2004, Ian Trussler wrote a very nice career overview feature for AFICIONADO's issue 5/6, long since out of print from its original limited edition run, called MARK HAMILL: WHAT HAPPENED?

With Mark's recent convention appearance at Celebration V this year, I thought it would be a nice idea to revise and update Ian's feature with a new design and additional pictures.

Here's the link to it on the main site: http://www.starwarsaficionado.com/markhamillwhathappened.html

And here's another great feature on Hamill's varied film and TV career that's worth a look:

UPDATE: 3/10/2011 And check out this great post-WARS career feature via the AVCLUB:
Mark Hamill  | Film | Random Roles | The A.V. Club

And if you're a fan of Mark's performance from THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, check out this rare audio recording of his appearance on the UK BBC 1 Children's series ASK ASPEL, from May 1980, where he talks to presenter Michael Aspel about working on the saga and reveals the then title for the final Classic Trilogy STAR WARS film! With thanks to Robkizzy for all his work in putting it on Youtube.
