Time Is Cruel: You Won’t Even Recognize These Famous Faces

Mark Hamill, a Young Skywalker

The original Star Wars trilogy was a cultural phenomenon that has inspired generations of filmmakers, and the lead actor was Mark Hamill who played Luke Skywalker. Mark’s success in Star Wars wasn’t necessarily a good thing for his career. As one producer bluntly told him, “I don’t want Luke Skywalker in my film.”

The role was simply too iconic for Mark to be cast easily in other movies and he ended up doing mainly voiceover work over the coming decades. You may have heard him as Batman’s evil nemesis the Joker in many of the animated versions of the comic from the past few decades.
