Yep, you believe Netflix, actually it’s not Netflix, it’s the agents talking turkey.They will lie like there’s no tomorrow just to create a buzz in the tabloids that their guy is still a big deal ... bullsh*t.
Maybe Mark Hamill’s homelessness report was internet rumor but facts are he couldn’t get a gig to save his life other than as a lowly voice actor for a Joker cartoon and that ended long ago. That he has fallen from his glory days in no rumor, it is fact merely by watching what he took on, what he was able to get after his rise and peak.
The bankruptcies and divorce settlements of other has-beens are a matter of public record and show facts that belie the tabloid BS.
Consider that the Malibu getaway is $50k per month or a decent stake in the better part of BH is $1 million + in property taxes alone. These big headed fools can’t sustain it even if they own it. They know the next big hit is a crap shoot especially as Hollycrap has a dearth of good story tellers and China is no longer buying their action thriller garbage sh*t like they used to because Bollywood does it for far cheaper and at the same intellectual level as an alleyway schizoid. So they won’t invest what they got if they got, and they won’t sell for fear of being seen as in ‘decline’ which tarnishes their brand and lowers the prospects of ‘potential’ offers that they are on their hands and knees out of sight worshiping Satan to see come through.
The reviews came from IMD and Rotten Tomato’s and various other reviewers. I haven’t watched the show, but having seen the trailers, it looks good and I just put in my que. After watching it I’ll give my review.
But FWIW - for someone who claims to think the tabloids are BS, you also seem to believe them.
As to Mark Hamill, he’s done a lot more voice work than just the Joker cartoon and voice work is not a bad gig for an actor as it pays well and the hours and working conditions compared to being on a movie set are better, etc. and let’s face it - Mark Hamill is no Brad Pitt in the looks department nor does he have the range and “charisma” as Harrison Ford as an actor, but Hamill has made a very successful - post the first Star Wars trilogy career in both his voice work and in comic books that he has co-wrote and published and likely earned a very hefty pay check for the The Last Jedi, etc.
Hamill reportedly earned $650,000 for the first Star Wars film — a hefty paycheck in 1977 but had the foresight to sign onto the film in exchange for one-fourth of one percent of the film's future earnings. That and probably a share of the merchandising of his likeness has made him a very wealthy man.
Hamill’s current net worth is estimated at 12 to 18 million USD.
Not every Hollywood actor has a getaway house in Malibu but if they invested wisely and don’t have a long series of failed marriages and greedy ex’s and extravagant spending like say Johnny Dep or Nicholas Cage, they can well afford multiple homes.
And I don’t think that Bollywood movies have all that large of a market in China given India’s shaky relationship with China but I do understand their popularity is growing.
