9 Actors Who Made A Comeback In 2015

1. The Original Star Wars Cast

Big 2015 Films: Star Wars: The Force Awakens I mean, this one should be obvious. While each of the original Star Wars trio has seen some post-Return Of The Jedi success (Mark Hamill carved out an immensely successful voice-over career, Carrie Fisher became a surprisingly prominent script doctor and Harrison Ford actually delivered on his movie star promise), even Indiana Jones pales in comparison to the franchise that redefined cinema (and there's not a hint of hyperbole there). Hamill, Fisher and Ford are Hollywood legend, despite the fact that the number of sinkers to their names (especially in Hamill's case) is pretty overpowering. It's certainly been the dark times for the actors, but with the Force awakening in little over a month they're back and as big as ever. And this is just the beginning; for the actors whose characters make it through the film alive, Star Wars promises a regular paycheck through to the end of the decade, but, bigger than that, it gives all three a second shot to capitalise on fame. Don't mess it up. It'd be interesting to see how much the excitement for The Force Awakens would be lesser had any one, or all, of these three decided not to return. Simply put, without these three Star Wars just isn't Star Wars; it's not just the trio making a comeback, but the franchise itself with them. Did any other actors make a comeback in 2015? Shout out any I missed down in the comments.
