Mark Hamill is something of a one-hit wonder in Hollywood. The general public is the now 72-year-old as Luke Skywalker from Star Wars known. However, you will look in vain for more prominent roles – if you are only superficially interested in films.

On the contrary, for many fans it applies as the best joker.
Who is the best Joker?
Batman's iconic adversary is, along with Darth Vader, certainly one of the most iconic villains in pop culture. While 30 Seconds To Mars singer Jared Leto is likely to be lower in the fans' ranking of the best actors, the late Heath Ledger and Joaquín Phoenix (both of whom won Oscars for their roles as Joker) will end up very high up.
