Mark Hamill
Born: 1951
The flip-side of the Star Wars coin, Hamill will always be Luke Skywalker, his post-Lucas career being populated by cartoons, B-movies and computer games. He lost his pretty boy looks prior to Empire Strikes Back and consequently his squeaky-clean approach bled into an unconvincing dark side that read more like sour grapes than depth. Idealised by a generation who then spurned his attempts to diversify, his failure is even more sharply exposed by Harrison Ford's success.
