Following the rerelease of the Star Wars trilogy, Mark has become an extremely busy, fitting in talk show appearances into an already tight schedule. On a March 15, 1997 he appeared on Saturday Night Live, where he not only showed off his comedic skills, but some of his vocal prowess, doing the voices of Darth Vadar/James Earl Jones and Apocalypse Now star Robert Duvall.

The recent rerelease of the Star Wars trilogy will most likely have people saying such things as, "Look how busy Mark Hamill is again, thanks to Star Wars"; but in fact, this multitalented actor has been working and entertaining you and your children for years. You just didn't know it!
