Mark Hamill in Conversation with Frank Oz 

Gotta love the fact a 69 year old man still has the same glimmer and shine in his eyes as a young kid unwrapping Christmas presents. Such a lovable man.

“So, what’s your favorite Color, Mark?” “It all started 14 years ago, when I’d lost my house....”

I could watch Mark Hamill talk for as long as he’d be willing to talk.

Mark Hamill is the biggest Star Wars fan. He understands us.

Frank Oz is so hilarious that he won't even accept a compliment. What a humble guy.

Hamill is the Heart of Star Wars. I truly believe that.

That bit about the little boy who lost his arm but said he wasn't scared because Luke Skywalker had lost his hand really got me. Man, I don't know how Mark kept it together after hearing that one. _THAT_ shows you how much of an effect you really have on people, Star Wars.

I'd like to see a comedy about two neighbours hating each other (something similar to grumpy old men) starring Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford

Mark Hamill is one of those people who you just can't dislike.

Mark Hamill: gracious and unassum- ing in his personal life. Professionally, extraordinarily eclectic in his range and thoroughly versed in characterisa- tion for a role.

Mark was the perfect actor for Luke. No one could’ve played that character like him

Frank's laugh sounds like Yoda just like Mark's laugh sounds like Joker.

Mark is such a cool, grounded man. He really is the bridge to the fans.

Mark is a gentleman and a true ambassador for the true Star Wars fans.

Mark is a good dude. He recognizes how his iconic roles touched his growing fans. Likely receiving the same old questions for decades, answering them while retaining an energetic enthusiasm. Cheers, to Mark Hamill.

Mark Hamill is probably one of the easiest people to interview since he's so talkative and kind, while Harrison Ford is probably one of the toughest. They were just perfect for Luke and Han.

Both Oz and Hamill are literally the 2 most humbling entertainers of our time! Its so great to see these individuals as human beings and not as celeb robots with Ego's.

Mark is a seriously talented impressionist, in this interview alone he gives us Harrison Ford, George Lucas, Yoda, Sir Alec, AND Katherine Hepburn!

Mark Hamill was my first crush. I was 7 when I saw Star Wars and I just loved him up until I was 13 when I saw Return of the Jedi. When I was 19 I worked on a movie he was in and I was able to have a great conversation with him on set. It was a dream come true for me. I've since met a ton of actors and celebrities working in the film industry, most of whom I'm pretty meh about, but Mark Hamill will always have a special place in my heart and Star Wars will always be my favorite movie of all time. He's such a great guy.

I'm so glad Frank was able to draw Mark out of his shell.

Mark Hamill is a world-class raconteur (storyteller). He is such a fascinating person, with a wealth of stories from his own rich exeperiences; but he also seems like an accessible, truly decent guy. He genuinely loves and understands his business, and everyone in it, from the name on the marquee to the union guy or girl cleaning the set. I have mad respect for him.

Mark Hamill is truly a national treasure.

I love how much of a story teller Mark Hamill is. So fun to listen to.

He's an incredibly talented story teller. He goes off on tangents but they're all relevant, and he never forgets where he was going originally.

Frank: What's your favorite food? Mark: When I was 5....

This was extremely enjoyable to watch. Hamill is engaging and entertaining. It seems that he takes his craft seriously but not himself.

A little part of my soul will die when Mark Hamill passes away. He's such a delightful and engaging raconteur and his enthusiasm for subjects that interest him is charming and authentic. Of course, he's also a wonderful actor. I just adore this guy.

Mark is the only person I could watch talk for hours and still be entertained all throughout!!

I feel like the reason Mark Hamill is so loveable is because he reacts to being an actor the same way that I would react to being an actor. Utter joy with working with Miss Piggy, Harrison and Carrie.

Every time he mentioned carrie it really brought a tear to my eye you can tell they loved each other RIP Carrie Fisher

Asks mark one question - 15 minutes later he's still talking hehehe

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.

Mark was almost the one nobody cared about after the first trilogy. Now he s the most beloved actor among the fans. That s the true definition of aging well. as wise as master Yoda.

You can learn two things from Mr Hamill. One- be tenacious about your dreams. Two- appreciate the people in your life.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2510">41:50</a> I swear he was going to say "Liam Neeson" but stopped-short. I just love listening to Mark Hamill. Frank asks him a simple question & Mark goes into a 20-minute story full of wit & good-natured sincerity. I'm so happy for him & his success. As a fan, I'm REALLY happy that an effort has been made to give Mark an opportunity to perform Luke Skywalker the way both he & fans want to see him & mend some of the backlash created by the divisive sequel trilogy.

These two guys are why Yoda was a believable Jedi master, and delivered a serious, high-impact new character that drove so much of the saga. Mark Hamill had to sell the character of Yoda as much as Frank Oz did, I believe.

Mark Hamill is a natural born storyteller. Everyone should check out the national public radio versions of the original trilogy - Mark is sensational.

He's so complimentary. Not a negative response. We all love him for it. A lesson for all of us.

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.

I chuckled at the thought that this is basically Yoda in conversation with Luke Skywalker.

Frank Oz directed one of my favorite comedy movies, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Mark can ramble on and on, but everyting he is saying is true and from his heart. He really is a great speaker!

The mark of a great interviewer is having the humility to just meet the guest talk. No interruptions, no steering, just listening. Brilliant interview.

Once Mark begins talking, it's impossible to turn this off....his passion, his enthusiasm, his humour, his humility, his knowledge.....just GREAT !

This interview is love.

Worked in the film industry for over 10 years. Actors like this are absolutely awesome to work with. Humble, and normal human beings. Mark, you are a rock star!

I can't imagine my life without Star Wars, and I can't imagine Star Wars without Mark. Thank you Mark, you seem like an amazing, and genuine person.

Mark Hammill is just a GOOD PERSON he warms my heart.

When Harrison Ford is being interviewed it is painful to watch. But Mark is a delight to watch.

Mark Hammil is a treasure and an absolute delight.

Mark is so great at giving 20 minute answers to a 10 second question. LOL. He's a great orator. If possible, check out his interview with Kevin Smith on "Fatman on Batman" from a few years ago. It's about 3 hours of BLISS, as both guys obviously LOVE to talk about comics, movies and characters. Truly one of the best interviews I have ever heard (it's an audio only podcast).

I wish we could get more movies with Mark Hamill as a lead! He has to be the most underrated actor working in hollywood. Hes so talented! He would be so cool as a Frank Bullitt or Harry callahan type

He's a charismatic dude. I love his stories and impressions, especially Harrison.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1675">27:55</a> The comment Mark made about wanting to know everyone’s name and what their job was when he was working on a set just shows how much of a genuinely good person he is and that he appreciates people for their part in a production or on a film set. He really is one of the rare ones! Reminds me of Keanu Reeves, a similar kindness and just general good people in both of them!

Mark Hamill's genuinely nice guy shows through here. All the shows he talks about, the animation, the voice acting, is all about the entertainment. Not a face actor, a complete actor.

Frank Oz laughing sounds like my childhood and every character I love rejoicing at the same time <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2228">37:08</a>

Such a shame that the initial excitement of the three main heroes coming back together never came to be..that was 100% what got me excited again..

Mark is such a joy to listen to. He hasn't changed.

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.

I'm 48 and just fell in love with Mark for the second time. His respect for Frank was life affirming

I love how Mark praises the Sequel Trilogy's directors in certain fields, while still inserting his own subtle criticism of the Sequel's treatment of Luke.

I love his enthusiasm and his child like quality time has never diminished.

Honestly, I could listen to Mark talk for hours.

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.

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.

Mark still has a child like quality to his outlook on his career. He shows his humanity and talent in these discussions. These people are iconic personalities Frank and Mark have been on stage and film many times. They are not just characters, but part of our memories. God bless Frank and Mark.

Wonderful storyteller!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2454">40:54</a> "It was either Harrie, Carrison, or Me." - Hamill. A little slip up, but a good slip up.

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.

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.

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

I would've loved to hear Mark interview Frank about The Muppets.

I love how Mark has always seemed like One of US, even with his stellar career.

Mark, Carrie & Harrison are historical treasures.

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

Both of these guys are just great personalities.

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

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

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

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

Mr. Oz seems like nice guy. Years ago he sent my brother an autographed Miss Piggy picture.

I saw Mark as Mozart in "Amadeus" on Broadway in 1984. He was amazing!

Mark should play the villain in Indiana Jones 5 🤠 Also have you seen Dungeon Gamers? It’s the best DND show on RU-vid!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-phOuB_GkHm0.html

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

Hearing someone so enthusiastic about anything is just so heartwarming

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...

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

The RU-vid 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.

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!

Mark is always a great interviewee, enjoy just listening to him ramble on.

his Harrison Ford impression is just perfect

Brilliant conversation, many thanks for posting. Frank Oz was the perfect host. Mark Hamill, the perfect guest.

i appreciate Mark Hamill more than ever now

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.

Imagine having someone this good and not even using him for an entire trilogy.

i want mark to play all the roles in everything.

Yoda interviewing Luke Skywalker or Fozzie Bear interviewing The Joker? You decide.

I'm really sad about what's happened to Star Wars movies in recent years but I love these two it's not their fault.

What a pleasure to listen to an intelligent actor, with a heart and soul. Hollywood, why do you not have more actors, who are not puppets ?

8 minutes in and already one of the most fascinating things I've heard on RU-vid
