    Luke Skywalker actor removes Star Wars from his CV

    The actor who played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars has removed all direct references to the films from his cv.

    Mark Hamill says he wants to be known as more than "just the guy with a light saber".

    Hamill, now 52, is drawing attention to his other movies, his hundreds of cartoon voice-overs, his comic book work, the CD-ROMs and his Broadway plays.

    He said: "It seems to me that it's semi-fraudulent for me to be still playing on it. It seems to me that I just owe the public new product. If I wanted to be a nostalgia artist, boy, I could embrace it wholeheartedly."

    Hamill's newest product is "Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks" a two-actor comedy.

                Mark Hamill a mediocre actor. He has done a lot of cool cartoon and video game work, though.

                As for drawing attention to his other works, I have two words for you: Corvette Summer.

                OK, that was mostly for effect. I actually kind of liked Corvette Summer but still, it's not exactly Hamlet.

                    Corvette Summer is widely known as the WORST movie ever.

                                    Y'know, believe it or not Hamill is a very good actor! I was suprised! His best work is when he plays a heavy though.

                                    He used to live around the corner from our comic book store in NY and would stop by several times a month to pick up his comics. I remember the first time I met him I was behind a bookstand talking with one of the store chaps and I heard some girl running her mouth out in the main area. I went to look and only saw this dude standing there. Then I went back to doing what I was doing and kept hearing some girl flapping her gums but everytime I peeked out that dude was standing there. Then I heard the door slam and a few minutes later one of the guys says to me I shoulda come out and said hi to Mark Hamill. I stood there shocked! I says, I didn't see or hear Mark Hamill all I saw was some short guy with a beard standing near the counter and some girl flapping her jawbones. That's when they told me that's how he talks in real life. Then a few months later I saw him on a tv special and that's how he talked. He's really a nice guy though and when he wants to can really act his ass off.

                                              Actually his face did get smashed up in a motorcycle accident between the filming of ANH (A New Hope) and ESB (Empire Strikes Back). Lucas covered the change by having Luke get mauled by the Wampa on Hoth at the beginning of ESB.

                                                No you are thinking about the time that his hand got cut off. They fixed it right away with robotic parts though.. No big deal.
