MARK HAMILL MOVIES
a92...@zipi.fi.upm.es
what to think. How an actor like him hasn't gone so high after making
the Star Wars films as, for example, Harrison Ford?. I've only seen him
in two more movies: a really bad one called 'SLIPSTREAM' and in a fantastic,
incredible very good movie by Samuel Fuller (I know the title of the movie,
but the spanish one:'UNO ROJO DIVISION DE CHOQUE') and nothing else. It's
difficult for me finding movies of an actor like him. ?Could someone please
give me a list with all the pictures he has made?
Thanks
Jose Luis

Harrison Ford. He is not a great actor. He has done a lot of stuff, but he
has never had a 'Fugitive' or a 'Patriot Games' because he would have to
be carried by a great story and supporting cast. But then again he is good
enough to do a lot of B-movies, which are not that bad, but are harder to
find than the theatre releases.

If Mark Hamill is a bad actor, so is Harrison Ford (= both are just as
great). The difference between them, in my opinion, is that Ford probably
had/have better connections within the industry than Hamill. One's agent is
also a very important person when it comes to picking scripts etc, I guess.
There are perhaps lots of other reasons, but definitely not that Hamill is
a bad actor.

movies while Harrison Ford has is simply because he has been typecast.
Star Wars was the first movie that anybody really noticed him in, and when
you play that kind of part and become your typical screen hero that leaves
such a big impression its kind of difficult to shake off the image.
Harrison Ford has been lucky to avoid that, but remember he had been seen
in quite a few films before the release of Star Wars, and I think this
maybe avoided the typecasting for him. Or maybe he just got lucky.

Hamill's problem is that he has tried too hard to get away from the
typecast of Luke. I believe that if he had stayed in that role for some
time, he would have made a better career, but it's still not too late. On
the other hand, if Hamill went to the theatre after SW, as someone told me,
it must be difficult to come back to the movies and get good parts.
By the way, in my opinion Harrison Ford hasn't avoided his SW image until
recently (Regarding Henry). Look at the Indiana Jones movies etc.

Mark Hamill is primarily a stage actor, and only occasionaly does any
movies or tv shows.

Could someone please tell me what year Star Wars appeared
in British cinemas, and was it Lucas` first generally rleased
film? If not, what was it?
patrick a walsh
some years ago? We mustn't forget that our hero was in the first one
or two episodes(Hey, I know it's not a movie). All I remember is him
having a fight with someone and running away and then never getting back
on the show. I suppose this was in the mid-1970's, just before Star Wars
(can anyone blame him for leaving? :) ).

I'm pretty sure Star Wars made it to the UK by 1977. Star Wars was not Lucas'
first movie. That would be THX-1138 (1971, I believe). However, the first
Lucas film to acquire a great deal of popularity was American Grafitti (1973).

Star Wars appeared in 1975 in Europe a little before the US relase (I believe)
and Lucas's first major film was THX-1138.
(I think I may have the numbers wrong...I haven't seen the
movie...however in starwars the same number is used for the stormtrooper
gaurding the Falcon in the Death Star[I can't remember weather this is in the
book or the movie])

---Sorry I screwed this one up. The date should be 1977 instead of 1975.
Thanks to the Doctor for pointing this out. Sorry.

In the book, the number was THX-1138 (by the way, that *is* the name of the
movie), and in the movie I _believe_ it was TK-427. (Can you say "meaningless
trivia", boys and girls? Sure you can.)
