Never said he had no talent, he did not have enough to impress people. Other actors have had terrible accidents such as Patricia Neal and gone on to roles that were memorable.
Hamill’s face was reconstructed but his maturity as an actor did not follow.
I remember people saying Hamill was Ok in the role of Skywalker but there were many others that could have played that role perhaps with more impressive impact. Hamill was not bad but whatever acting talent he had was not enough to carry him through to other roles to leave a name in the entertainment industry.
Some actors get better with age and experience. Bogart seemed better with each film.
I was never in the industry but had close friends who were, one of them fairly prominent. The acting path is inherently unstable even when a person is lucky enough like Hamill to hitch a ride with a big success. The fame takes an actor up into the clouds and if they can’t stay there, they crash hard. Many actors have lived such a high life that when they lose cashflow, they suffer foreclosures, bankruptcies but still their heads are in the clouds of fame even though they are no longer there. It can be really sad and they often succumb to drugs, alcohol, and worse.
When I was younger, I could never imagine a Hollywood celebrity leaving such a terrible impression on a 3-year old who adored the films the celebrity was in. Can’t think of one from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, even 90s. Can’t think of even one. There have been disasters of people in that industry but there was always a public face they showed that was civil and kind to children.
It’s obvious Hamill is a disturbed individual with issues that go beyond politics. He should see a mental health care provider if he’s not already seeing one.
#69 what do you mean disturbed individual?
Mark is as sane as the next homeless guy.
He just has more money....
