If there's one actor who has been actively working for geek culture in the past few decades is Mark Hamill, having become famous in his 20s for giving life to Luke Skywalker in "Star WarsStar : A New Hope" - and now, almost 40 years later, Mark Hamill's net worth can attest to his stand in geek culture.
This year, for the first time in over 30 years, part of Mark Hamill's net worth will stem from playing the role that turned him into a superstar, as he's set to appear as the Jedi knight once more in this year's "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens," joined by the other two original cast members, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford.
Although rarely in front of the camera, Mark Hamill's net worth continues to stem mostly from his work as an actor, only these days he does most of his work on the microphone in a closed studio, as one of the most prolific animation voice actors in the industry.
Without a doubt, besides giving life to the son of Darth Vader in the big screen, what Hamill's most famous for (and where a lot of Mark Hamill's net worth comes from) is his portrayal of The Joker in the "Batman" animated series, a role he shares with the likes of Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger and most recently Jared Leto, who will play the DC Comics maniac in next year's "Suicide Squad" while actor Cameron Monaghan currently plays the role in the series in "Gotham."
These days, as "Star Wars" fans eagerly await the new film, it's not Mark Hamill's net worth making news but rather how he was very closed to missing the opportunity to play Luke once again: according to Cinema Blend, the 63 year-old actor slipped in a 618 stone step climb at a monastery of Skellig Michael island during the shoot, until a guide from the Irish Office of Public Works saved him.
Phew, in the wink of an eye, he could have unfortunately been one with the Force!
Everything's quite all right now, as the iconic actor preps for press tours next December.
Currently, Celebrity Net Worth lists Mark Hamill's net worth at $6 million.
