7 Unusual Demands Made By Guest Stars On Futurama
4. Mark Hamill Demanded NOT To Voice Bender
Mark Hamill is one of the few guest stars who hasn't played themselves. Instead, this Star Wars actor featured as the rather bland Chanukah Zombie during the episode Bender’s Big Score. While some believe this was a waste of a cameo, Hamill was reportedly happy to play any part in the series.
His demands for the show actually came later on once the series had already been cancelled in 2013. When fans learned that the show would be renewed but without the help of the original voice of Bender, John DiMaggio, there was a major upset and public reaction from a number of celebs. Hamill tweeted out in support of the voice actor, requesting that he be returned to the show while reassuring fans that he would not be auditioning for the voice of “fake Bender”.
Hamill is one of many to take a stand in support of the incredible voice actor, so hopefully Hulu will listen and up the payment so that everyone's favourite pissy robot can return to our screens along with the rest of the much-loved team.
