Mark Hamill will always be remembered for portraying Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars films, but some fans may not know he is also a voice actor who has brought to life a variety of characters in other live-action movies, animated movies, TV shows, and even video games.
Many fans are familiar with the fact that he voiced The Joker, going up against Batman in some of the most important episodes of Batman: The Animated Series. Mark Hamill's list of voice acting roles, though, goes on and on, extending past supervillains and the action genre. Surprisingly, many people don't know these characters' voices are credited to the one and only Mark Hamill.
Updated on June 30th, 2021 by Darby Harn: Mark Hamill's voice acting list continues to expand with new roles in upcoming animated series like the new Netflix He-Man series Masters Of The Universe: Revelations. As fans look forward to that, they can also check out many more animated and live-action roles Hamill has done in recent years. Though he's most famous for playing Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, Hamill has actually voiced a number of roles in the recently completed Star Wars sequel trilogy.
15 Skeletor (Masters Of The Universe: Revelations)
Mark Hamill is voicing the role of Skeletor in the upcoming Masters Of The Universe: Revelations Netflix series by Kevin Smith. This adds another major iconic villain to his resume and should be a lot of fun for fans of both Hamill and the character. The first trailer for the animated series revealed that Hamill's voice acting clearly takes nods from Frank Welker's work on the original 80s Filmation animated cartoon, but he's adding his own unique take on the character.
14 Art Rosenbaum (Invincible)
Some fans may not be aware that Mark Hamill played Art Rosenbaum in the Invincible animated series on Amazon Prime. A relatively minor role, he's still fairly key to the story. Art Rosenbaum provides the costumes to the superheroes of the story, most notably Omni-Man, Nolan Grayson, the father of the main character Invincible. When Omni-Man takes in his costume for repairs after the shocking and fatal battle with the superhero team the Guardians of the Globe, Art's tailoring provides insights into their murder.
13 Boolio (The Rise Of Skywalker)
Luke Skywalker is not the only role Mark Hamill has played in live-action Star Wars. He actually voiced the character of Boolio, who has a brief appearance at the beginning of Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker. Boolio was an agent of the Resistance and provided Finn and Poe with information on the identity of a spy within the First Order, who ultimately turned out to be General Hux. While many fans debate the things that The Rise Of Skywalker got wrong or right, it's clear there can never be too much Mark Hamill in the franchise.
12 Dobbu Scay (The Last Jedi)
A minor character from Star Wars: The Last Jedi fans likely had no idea was Mark Hamill is Dobbu Scay. Dobbu Scay has a very small role in the casino on Canto Bight, but a memorable one. He drunkenly attempts to use BB-8 as a slot machine, which eventually leads to the droid firing coins at the bad guys as Rose and Finn escape.
The tiny amphibian gambler is visible in other shots in the casino, including when the Fathiers, a creature the sequel trilogy introduced, stampeded through the streets of Canto Bight.
11 Arnim Zola (Ultimate Spider-Man)
One voice acting credit on the list of roles played by Mark Hamill that fans may not be aware of Arnim Zola. One of the most powerful Phase 1 MCU villains, Arnim Zola was also a major villain in the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series. Zola's unique design, which has his face projected on a giant television screen in the middle of the chest of a massive android, is perfect for animation. Hamill was perfect for the role, playing him again in the Avengers Assemble animated series as well.
10 The Hobgoblin (Spider-Man: The Animated Series)
Voicing The Joker led to similar roles as supervillains for Hamill. For instance, in Spider-Man: The Animated Series from the early 90s, he played the super villain The Hobgoblin. Hamill added a number of animated super villains to his voice acting list with numerous Marvel shows in the 1990s. In the animated The Incredible Hulk series, he played the Gargoyle. In the animated Fantastic Four series, he was Maximus. And in the animated series Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, he was Klaw.
9 Corey Anders (Jeannie)
Hanna-Barbera is known for classic cartoons, and in 1973, this company put out one season of a series called Jeannie, an animated spin-off of the live-action classic series I Dream of Jeannie. This series was aimed at a much younger audience. In this story, instead of being found by an astronaut, Jeannie was rescued by a teenager, Corey Anders, who was voiced by Mark Hamill. This is actually Hamill's first-ever voice-acting role, according to the actor himself. The series only lasted for one season on CBS in 1973.
8 Fire Lord Ozai (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
Avatar: The Last Airbender was on the air on Cartoon Network between 2005 and 2008. Hamill voiced the Fire Lord Ozai, ruler of the Fire Nation, and the primary villain of the series. He was a very powerful firebender and father to Zuko and Azula.
Fire Lord Ozai would ultimately be defeated and sentenced to prison for his actions, but his efforts left many scars in the world, including some that would only eventually become apparent in the sequel series, The Legend Of Korra.
7 Skeleton King (Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!)
Another evil character Hamill voiced was the Skeleton King in Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! This anime-style show focuses on five cyborg monkeys and a boy who fight to save the world from bad guys like this one. The Skeleton King did start off as a good guy, an alchemist whose curiosity eventually got the better of him. Despite the fact that Hamill's most notable role was Luke Skywalker, one of the good guys, he does seem to have a gift for voicing villains in animation.
6 Skips & Other Characters (Regular Show)
Between 2009 and 2017, Mark Hamill voiced a number of characters on Regular Show, which aired on Cartoon Network. Among the characters that Hamill voiced were Skips the groundskeeper. Skips is one of the main characters in the show, a giant immortal yeti who serves as the groundskeeper for The Park. Hamill voices other characters in the animated series as well, including a blue jay, who was named Mordecai, and a raccoon, who was named Rigby, and their misadventures sometimes featured others, such as Skips the groundskeeper.
5 The Joker (Robot Chicken)
Mark Hamill's most notable role outside of Luke Skywalker is arguably the Joker. Fans may not know he played him in many other media besides Batman: The Animated Series. He also voiced him in Robot Chicken, the iconic Adult Swim series. Hamill played the character, one of Batman's greatest villains in any medium, in numerous skits on the series. Hamill also provided the voices of many other characters in Robot Chicken, including Chuck E. Cheese and others.
4 skekTek (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance)
Hamill added to his impressive list of voice acting credits in 2019, when he voiced skekTek, The Scientist. He played a key role in the development of the evil Skeksis plot in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, a prequel to The Dark Crystal, the classic Jim Henson movie from 1982 which used only animatronic puppets for its cast. skekTek lost an eye in the series, but he was far from done plotting and scheming. Sadly, his efforts will go unrealized for the moment since the series has been canceled on Netflix.
3 Chucky (Child's Play)
This talented voice actor has even ventured into the horror genre, and in 2019 he portrayed a very iconic villain, Chucky. Hamill voiced the murderous doll in the reboot of the original 1988 horror classic Child's Play. The movie also starred Aubrey Plaza and Tim Matheson.
Chucky is just one of many such tiny doll-killers in horror movies, but he's among the most famous. This is also one of Hamill's darkest roles in any medium, with Chucky a relentless murderer who can't seem to be stopped.
2 Master Eraqus (Kingdom Hearts)
Hamill also counts video games among his list of voice-acting roles. One particular series that he was involved in is Kingdom Hearts. He played Master Eraqus in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts III. He is a Keyblade Master from the Land of Departure in the games, a collaboration between Square Enix and Disney. Like Luke Skywalker, Eraqus is a powerful man committed to peace as well as passing on his knowledge to the next generation.
1 Narrator (Call Of Duty 2: Big Red One)
Hamill was the narrator in the video game Call of Duty 2: Big Red One. This role was key in the game because its format was presented like a documentary, comprised of individual chapters woven together. Those sections put Hamill’s voice front and center.
A unique but of trivia from this game is that Mark Hamill had starred in the 1980 movie The Big Red One written and directed by Samuel Fuller. Hamill played Private Griff, a young soldier who is shocked at the brutality of World War II.
