Why didn't his career take off after A New Hope?

>>211626589 (OP)
Because he starred in shit like this. I actually remember seeing this at a Drive In when I was about 6.

>>211626589 (OP)
He became a voice actor

>>211626589 (OP)
He's not a good actor, and Harrison Ford was way hotter.

The Big Red One was pretty good though.

>>211626789
How fucking old are you?

>>211626589 (OP)
The accident he was in really fucked him up and he was never the most compelling actor in Star Wars. Out of the main cast he had the weakest performance. It worked for Star Wars though because Luke is supposed to be the relatable every man.

He's a helluva voice actor

>>211626589 (OP)
bros been having a career. just not one that puts his face on screen often
do you think being a movie star is every persons ultimate dream?

>>211626589 (OP)
>When Amadeus was adapted for film in 1984, Hamill auditioned to reprise his role as Mozart, but lost the part to Tom Hulce. A studio executive told the producers of the film, "I don't want Luke Skywalker in this film". The film director, Milos Forman told Hamill that, "No one is believing that the Luke Skywalker is the Mozart."
For some reason old Hollywood execs thought an actor being recognized was actually a bad thing. Little did they know people love to point at the screen and say "hey its that guy!"

>>211626589 (OP)
his true calling was DNC

>>211626589 (OP)
After his accident, producers no longer wanted to rape/humiliate him. One of the first big victims of "Twink Death".

Ok sure, he was too boyish looking at first and the car accident fucked his shit up and the 80's valued macho manly leading men for roles but there were plenty of dweebish twink actors like Matthew Broderick and Michael J Fox. They had relatively successful careers. What gives?

>>211627193
Broderick and Fox had onscreen charisma that Hamill didn't.

>>211626589 (OP)
Typical leftist pussy. Hated how his character was destroyed in the new movies but lied because he has to be popular.

>>211626888
You're right, he was godawful in A New Hope, better in Empire Strikes Back and by Return of the Jedi, he and James Earl Jones were the only ones who gave a shit, everyone else had completely checked out.

I'm not sure if Lucas is to blame for his bad performance in ANH, he's not an actor's director, just look at the Prequels.

>>211626589 (OP)
>A New Hope
zoom zoom

>>211626888
It didn't work for A New Hope though, I swear the first time I heard his shitty delivery of the Tosche Station line, I cringed so hard.

That's why whenever I rewatch that movie, I watch the Japanese dub.

>>211626872
Using simple math, I put his age at 53

>>211627271
I don't think he was out of place in ANH. It was a fairly dry movie, everyone's acting was good but somewhat theatrical. It felt like an older movie than it was.

>>211628062
You were supposed to cringe, he was a whining teenager who just wanted to leave home.

>>211626589 (OP)
The black and white photo makes him look like Cody Weber (SaturnineFilms) video editor for TheAmazingAtheist.

>>211627081
That's retarded. It doesn't seem to have been a problem in the 40s and 50s, I mean you had the same handful of actors everywhere.

>>211627271
His performance in ANH isn't bad, he just had some of the worst lines. Luke is a legit whiner and bitch for a lot of the movie, but it works for his arc. Lucas apparently told him to play everything straight, it's not appreciated anymore because Star Wars is so ingrained in pop culture but at the time so much of Star Wars was bafflingly goofy and strange to the point Hamill thought it was parody. If Luke had an isekai like performance and reacted to everything like "Holy shit there's a robot and a giant hairy monster" it would've ruined the film. His performance served its purpose well.

because he's ugly.

>>211627257
He lied because promoting the movie is in his contract ya dingus he's since made it very obvious he's sour about the sequels

>>211628225
You should learn how different the contracts were in the 40s and 50s. Studios practically owned the actors, so of course it made sense to use them as much as possible since they got paid the same either way.

>>211628225
Movies were consumed differently in that time. The studio system atbthat time had the same actors on contract cranking out slop left and right, none of the movies got too big relative to one another. The advent of consumer television began changing how movies were prodcued. Eventually the Hollywood production companies figured out that they needed fewer and bigger films to draw people away from theur television sets. Spielberg made his name producing summer blocbusters, as did a number of other directors. When you star in one blockbuster that everyone saw, you're more likely to be typecast as that charcater, as opposed to an actor that was in 20 different movies that collectively grossed what 1 later movie would.

>>211628360
only after the car accident

>>211626872
Same age you'll be browsing /tv/ someday

>>211626589 (OP)
Lost the fuckboy looks after the car crash.

>>211627081
>Little did they know people love to point at the screen and say "hey its that guy!"

Suits are the most - literally - phillistine motherfuckers on the planet with the exception of BIG HARV.

>>211628599
Thanks for the explanation
>>211628666
You too Satan, the info about the advent of blockbusters is most interesting

>>211626589 (OP)
He's such a beta that not even peak coke Carrie would fuck him

At 1st glance i thought this was Ellen Degenerous from the catolog pic lol

>>211626789
Jeez, that movie is so terrible

>>211626589 (OP)
Umm sweetie he was in a little movie called The Guyver perhaps you heard of it

>>211626789
Annie Potts was mega cute . She should have been castedified as Mara Jade in Last Jedi

>>211626867
Ford's career is also mixed bag. Han Solo and Indiana Jones and that's it. Better than majority of actors, thought.

>>211632295
He coasted almost entirely on those two roles
He tried to be a serious actor for a bit with Witness. Fugitive gave him a little boost, otherwise it's slop

>>211628225
the difference is when people recognise the character over the actor.

>>211626789
This is a fun film. A lot better then most of this caliber.

>>211628125
53 and still browsing 4chan is fucking pathetic really

>>211636792
It's literally not pathetic to stay alive for 53 years though

>>211632295
Ford had a great career. Indiana Jones, Blade Runner, Fugitive, Witness, Frantic, Air Force One, Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games

All bangers

>>211626589 (OP)
being young & pretty can work ok for a little while, but soon it wears off & that sucks if it's all u got

>>211626589 (OP)
Looks like Ellen in the thumbnail

>>211626589 (OP)
Didn't learn to act until he was a crabby old man.

He became a legendary VA.

>>211626589 (OP)
it's typical of these kind of young actors that do these kind of fantasies bullshit movies
it's both a curse and a bless in a way i guess
