Hamill dropped by the Los Angeles Times' video studio for an Emmy Contenders chat concerning his work on the current History Channel series 'Knightfall.'
'Star Wars' legend and 'Knightfall' star Mark Hamill sits down with the Los Angeles Times to talk about his many roles, including voicing The Joker and Chucky.
Though it's hard to imagine any actor finding work for which they could be as well known as he is for Luke Skywalker in the"Star Wars" galactic franchise, Hamill's in the ballpark with his copious voice work – especially as Batman's arch-nemesis, The Joker, starting with the 1993"Batman: Mask of the Phantasm."
"Every time I play the character, I like to pretend it's the first time I've ever done him. And they use him in very different ways. Sometimes he is supposed to be scary and malevolent. Other times he's more. … There was a parody of 'Thelma & Louise,' Where Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy team up and go off on these adventures, and you see Joker shuffling around the house in fluffy slippers.
"You're completely transformed to the point where you look in the mirror and you go, 'It's not me!' So it gives you license to be comfortable doing and saying things you never would in your real life."Hamill said he had idealized notions of knights from his youth and pop-culture staples such as"Camelot." He didn't relish the reality of their living conditions.
Hamill also lightheartedly touched on his experience directing, the terrible advice he gave Arnold Schwarzenegger, reading Trump tweets in his Joker voice, and the fun he has trolling fans.'Knightfall' Star and 'Star Wars' legend Mark Hamill shares how he likes to troll his followers on Twitter.
