He also voiced the Hobgoblin in the animated Spiderman series back in the '90's.

Yep. I think I'd go insane if I had to decide who was the better Joker: Hammil or Ledger. They both brought the character to life perfectly. Very Happy

That's his most famous role(and deservedly so, his Joker was bone chillingly awesome), but he was also the villain in Castle in the Sky, the mayor in Nausicaa, and countless other roles.

I've never seen Afro Samurai, but I may check into it sometime soon.

Hey, you can't go wrong with Mark Hamill in there. He is a pretty good voice actor, so I have high hopes for this one coming around.

I can hear him repeating one of his lines: "Don't f*** with the Jedi Master."

Yeah, you gotta give props to a guy who can do a voice over parody for a puppet version of HIMSELF.
Mark Hamill voicing Mark Hamill playing Luke Skywalker... awesome.

No.

Mark Hamill's most famous rule is Luke Skywalker.


On subject, I enjoyed Afro Samurai, and back when it was announced, they announced it, a video game, and a live action movie. I am still waiting patiently for the second two.

After a few years of waiting, if this game sucks I am gonna be angry.

The movie better happen, eventually, too. >_>

I think he meant "as a voice actor".
