Carrie Fisher would appear in The Blues Brothers and When Harry Met Sally..., whilst also garnering plenty of acclaim through her books.

As for Harrison Ford, well, do you really need us to talk about him?

But what about Luke Skywalker? The literal Chosen One who was and still is a hero to so many? You don't really see him anymore, do you?

"See" is the operative word in that sentence, because Mark Hamill, the actor who played Luke, has found a second life as a very talented and in-demand voice actor.

Basically, if you've ever seen anything animated, then chances are Hamill has been in it.

Scooby-Doo, Spider-Man, Garfield, The Last Airbender, Pinky and the Brain, Clifford the Big Red Dog. Hamill's been in all of the above and plenty more.

Oh, and he's voiced the frickin' Joker in about 500 different things, up there with Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson in the best ever portrayals of the character.

Basically, Mark Hamill is an absolute legend who has had a very long and successful career doing what he loves.

We should all aspire to be more like him.
