I love that Frank showed a twinge of regret at a couple of points for having known Mark for forty years without really getting to know him. This is a truism of life, and often we reach a point when the person is gone (either geographically or deceased), and it's too late to tell the person. Here, one of Mark's heroes was able to tell him. It doesn't mean they're going to go golfing every Saturday now; it's enough to acknowledge it. I've been at the same company for 21 years and relate with this completely. We can have these people in our lives for so long but never truly know them.

Honestly, I could listen to Mark talk for hours.

[@painfreddo]

Oz even has the Yoda chuckle. i found that funny.

[@KB-bd1xi]

"Wait this is an hour and a half long!?"

[@ALEN1ful]

One of the few people in his field with integrity and honesty. Like this guy a lot. Will leave a great legacy.

[@theremixphilly]

Great QnA. Frank had great questions and refused to let even Mark put the focus or adornment on him. He kept the spotlight on Mark. And he didn't cut Mark off to save time. The 2 have a great respect for one another and great. comradery. Thanks for sharing this.

[@lorenrenee1]

I’ve had a crush on Mark for 40 years and he’s still absolutely adorable 😍

[@k.burton3473]

Crushing for 35 here ; )

[@faustianrevival3816]

Was hoping they would talk about The Dark Crystal series which they were both in. Such a masterpiece.

[@CleverGirlAAH]

Oh yeah! I hadn't made that connection. Huh.

[@supersnappahead]

You have to love Hamill. The man was born to entertain.

[@MarkusMahlberg]

What Mr Hamill said about the unpretentious attitude really struck me -- he is damn right. It was this attitude that made the OT stand out so much, and got lost in the prequels and sequels.

[@fettfan91]

I love how Mark took a moment to thank people for coming out, tells you a lot about his perspective on fame and celebrity. True legend.

[@ikcerabsin6195]

The more I watch Mark Hamill doing interviews the more I love/respect him. What a great guy! Thanks for this.

[@kaputtnik3901]

Mark Hamill in Conversation with Mark Hamill ;)

[@linzzz519]

Such a fun interview! I had no idea Mark had done Broadway. I like him even more! I also loved that he was inspired by Clarence Nash (Donald Duck). I used to trick or treat in Clarence’s neighborhood... he and his sweet wife would invite us in. Clarence would perform the voice with a puppet, and his wife gave up homemade popcorn balls. Mark seems to have the same down to earth, engaging personality.

[@drewster3o5]

i want mark to play all the roles in everything.

[@Grafight23]

I would've like to see the movie "Amadeus" with him as Mozart. He was considered for the role, since he played him on live theater, but Milos wanted relatively unknown actors so the audience would focus on the story rather than the cast. Tom did a terrific job, for sure, but, I'm just curious.

[@Guppusmaximus]

No offense, but, I've heard enough about his Star Wars days. I was more enthralled with his stories about voice acting and his love of puppets (\m/ The Muppets \m/ )especially with the master sitting right next to him. I'd love to hear a lot more from both. Maybe even some stories from Oz about Jim Henson, Sesame Street,etc...

[@disneytribute4316]

Or his experience being on the muppets show, because he was invited alongside C3po and R2

[@MrAprilfoolsday]

agree, I was really into this interview//Q and A. He really knew his Muppets knowledge

[@metimoteo]

The KZbin algorithm brought me here after having watched several fan reactions of Mark's appearance as Luke in The Mandalorian season 2 finale, and I'm so grateful it did.

[@justineharper3346]

Same. Lol

[@jasontwitchell8167]

I could listen to Mark talk about anything all day. He is simply charismatic.

[@VampyrX1381]

Thats the passion that jon favreau seems to have tried to capture with the mandlorian.. love mark hamill..the passion..the side tracked stories..perfect! so glad that jon favreau is trying to give the fans something that we can all love again after the proper star wars ended. Frank oz is also a legend :D

[@megahellreaper]

40:55 I can't stop laughing at "Harry, Carrieson or me". Even Hamill's fumbles are fun.

[@humbucker1414]

He's used that one before, not sure it's an accident but definitely funny.

[@LuisFlores-pi3lg]

I've seen hours upon hours of his interviews and I can tell you that he's always called them that since he met them. It's funny because I actually thought to myself when he said it here that he didn't explain it like usual and that people would probably think he slipped up due to age or whatever 😂

[@klyanadkmorr]

Well Carrie & Harrison were rather close from the start and Mark purports he NEVER knew they were knocking boots for sure during Empire. I think he knew but was mum and their buddy.

[@oliverglenday7382]

When he does the Harrison Ford voice if you close your eyes it's just like listening to Han Solo

[@theb-sidetalk4766]

it's refreshing to see someone who is a Star Wars actor, who geeks out just as much as the rest of us.

[@SantoValentino]

Every Mark interview feels like a Ted Talk

[@stevencgr]

this was wonderful, definitely do this again with the roles reversed.

[@davidb6576]

Yes! And for more than just 1.5hrs. Can we set aside a week?

[@christianlegewie299]

They tried and Hamill also answered Oz's question.

[@Vikotnick]

Look, we all need Mark as much as possible before we get older. Bond Villan, Indy 5.... anything!

[@frankG335]

Daws Butler was one of my acting coaches. What a great guy, with so many stories and so much wisdom to pass on. He was a great mentor!

[@TheFlyingBrain.]

A charming, surprisingly funny and completely authentic individual: Mark Hamill. After the first 5 minutes it no longer seems possible to call him by anything other than his first name. Delightful.

[@Attabasca]

Mark is about the most adorable person ever. He is so full of joy, enthusiasm, endless interesting stories and has amazing knowledge of movies. He is so fun to watch and listen to.

[@tishandmarkbacks4563]

i appreciate Mark Hamill more than ever now

[@veiledrecalcitrance4314]

I love Mark Hamill, not only is he great, but goddamn that man can talk, Frank Oz asks “what part about being a voice artist most people don’t know”, by the end of Mark talking it’s nowhere near the question Frank asked, but you get amazing stories nonetheless. He’s just a talker, I’m the same way so it makes me feel better that he’s like that

[@WesleyWhiteside]

It's great that Mark Hamill still loves Star Wars. Other actors can get really bitter, but Mark is so into it, it's fantastic.
