Mark Hamill’s Most Iconic Voice Roles: From the Joker to Chucky

Mark Hamill may be known to most moviegoers for his work on screen with the light side of the force, but the actor has also racked up one of the most impressive voice acting careers of anyone in Hollywood – one that stretches all the way back to the early 1970s. His most famous voice role, of course, is as the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series, and in animated movies and videogames that feature his take on the character, and in this exclusive sit down Hamill goes deep on his inspirations, finding the Joker’s voice, and his favorite Joker moments. Plus, Hamill talks about his first voice role, dubbing Miyazaki classics, and putting a new spin on the world’s deadliest doll, Chucky, in the ‘Child’s Play’ reboot.

Mark: “The script is everything”

I like how Mark Hamil isn’t just known for Luke Skywalker

[falkenvir]

Mark is one of few Hollywood actors who manage to keep their soul intact throughout the years...

[bradleygordon]

Mark Hamill was afraid to play joker and now he is the only one anyone wants to voice the joker. Imagine having to follow him up. Best joker on my list.

[hexna]

Can’t believe you guys forgot to mention Skips from Regular Show.

“when other kids were studying algebra, i was working on my joker laugh”

[wwebb]

Mark Hamill as the Joker. Kevin Conroy as Batman. Perfect duo👌🏻

[teresaever]

He comes across as modest, generous, and like a big kid.

[SIRU]

This hits different this week, RIP Kevin Conroy, the Batman we deserved and the one we need, but can always find in all of the Batman animated works. Feel so sorry for Hamil having worked with and loved working with so many people that have passed on.

[jett]

I love how he said “If Kevin’s in, I’m in.” It shows how great the relationship is and how they both know how well they’re voice acting bounces off of eatchother

[toadmilker]

His Arkham Joker voice acting is top tier as far as I'm concerned. I'm so happy we got him in a game.

[Classicgamershq]

Fun fact: Mark Hamill does his own voice stunts.

[laneminor]

It's so amazing that Hamill knows the other Joker actors and treats them with respect. So many people see an animated Joker that isn't Hamill and dismiss their performance entirely, but he actually appreciates the differences they bring to the table. Just wholesome.
