10 Brilliant Tweaks That Suddenly Made Actors Cool As F***
7. Mark Hamill Realised His Voice Is His Best Asset
It isn't easy for actors to appreciate that their best work might not be in front of the camera in a live-action project, but sat in a recording booth running lines for animation and video games.
But Mark Hamill evidently had the poverty of ego to appreciate that, when he struggled to win quality roles following the end of the original Star Wars trilogy, his talents might be better spent elsewhere.
From the mid-1980s onwards, Hamill worked as a voice actor on Scooby-Doo, Spider-Man, Garfield, The Last Airbender, Pinky and the Brain, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Studio Ghibli movies, and most famously portrayed the Joker across both animated fare and video games for almost 30 years before retiring from the part.
Hamill unequivocally found his place in the industry as a peerless, ever-in-demand vocal performer and created a Joker absolutely on par with the most feted live-action renditions.
But Hamill also got to put his grizzled vocal chops to good use in a late-career return to live-action, by both playing a grizzled Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and giving a sublime recent performance as terrifying lawyer Arthur Pym in Netflix's The Fall of the House of Usher.
