Imagine taking a nasty of C-List comics and having such a fun performance with her as you can play it over the decades in three different television shows. Hamill first played the Filou in the 90s Flash live show, before returning to an animated appearance in Justice League Unlimited Then relaunch the character in the CW Flash to show. The Hamill’s Filou, as well as so much of its most appreciated roles, really manages to balance the wacky over-theatricity of a comic strip (even if Jesse is not the most ferocious of the flash thugs), while giving the character a wonderfully human side also in his appearance in his appearance in his appearance in his appearance in his appearance in his appearance in his appearance in his appearance in Unlimited. 2014 Flash The iteration is definitely leaning a little more on the gag side, but it is worth revisiting its turn from the 90s, since this is what allegedly played a key role by winning the role of Joker.

It could be controversial to say, given that any performance of He-Man’s antagonistic foil must walk in the shadow of Alan Oppenheimer, but Hamill’s Tour in the restart of Kevin Smith Masters of the universe is a very fun vision of the character, giving Skeletor a gruff which gives him an underlying threat even when he leans a little more in the classic camp of the character.

Okay, of course, we cannot put A HOTSHOT SCI-FI PROTOTING HERO on this list, but there is another! Hamill played Wing commander MAVERICK protagonist, alias Christopher Blair, in live kinematics FMV used in the third and fourth games of the series, Tiger And Price Freedom, Dant to the series, the protagonist previously anonymous a stronger depth of character, a more seasoned Starfighter pilot on the front lines of a long and bitter conflict with the Lion-Esque extraterrestrials known as Kilrathi. And while the acting career of Hamill’s voice took off, he even returned to the animated fallout from the prequel Wing Commanders Academy to use the role.

Mervyn Pumpkinhead, The Sandman

Janteur Grinchéux Resident of the Dream (and Pumpkin Scarecrow), Hamill burns briefly but brilliantly on Netflix Sandman Adaptation, with Mervyn offering a touch of charming lightness to the highest point of the first season. Thank God, he recovered from his fight against the Furies in the second season of the show!

Skektek the scientist, Dark crystal: age of resistance

Sometimes you just have to look all along, and when you are given the role of the chief scientist of the Skeksis in the incredible Dark crystal Prequel Show, Hamill does everything. He carcotes, strident, and just deliciously, ruthlessly exaggerated in his representation of otherwise logically cold evil of Skektek, selling you really on what the miserable delight takes Skektek in the cruelty that he promulgates in his experiences.

The major, The long walk

Hamill’s most recent performance is so great that she must immediately sit among the memories of her best roles, playing the scary commander of the dystopian holder of the classic tale of Stephen King. He is clear by looking back on the work of Hamill that he likes to play a villain, but few compare himself to the frightening presence with which he embodies the major as a spectrum always looking at the walkers.

Ozai, Avatar: the last Airbender

Hamill fills AvatarThe Fire Lord with tension in each line, an appropriate balance of restraint for the ardent chief of the imperial ambitions of the nation of fire: his performance of Ozai is electrifying, crackling with the potential of the rage of the swirling character always just below the surface. And that only means that when Ozai is allowed to go wild, Hamill becomes properly large, permeating the character with a sordid and noble arrogance that you like to hate.

Albie Krantz, Chuck’s life

Hamill’s Chuck Grandfather Hamill plays a crucial role in this year Mike Flanagan Tearjerker. Albie cuts a tired silhouette, and like so many roles most appreciated in Hamill, there is a small element of irascibility – but it is to make good measure, as we see through the eyes of the young Chuck the tragedies that shaped his grandfather in the man he is. Even by facing all this, Hamill gives Albie a warmth and a sincerity to offer an incredibly emotional performance, which contrasts strongly with his other big role in 2025 in The long walk.

The Hobgoblin, Spider-Man: The Animated Series

While Joker dominates the memory of the working people of Hamill’s superhero voice, his turn as Hobgoblin in the animated icon of the 90s of Marvel is not to be missed. There is just enough threat to keep it separate from its other magnificent vocal performance, while keeping a little more sifted atmosphere.

Spiked, The wild robot

In a wonderfully soft role while the grizzly man or a sweet heart, Hamill can do a lot with Thorn, the softener of an initial threat fiercely acaritant to an adorable and warm friend for Roz the robot during the film. Hamill clearly likes vocal roles where he can play both sides of the medal … and sometimes do it with a gruff which, in this case, is properly lower.

Jim the vampire, What we do in the shade

An emblematic part of an emblematic of all time What we do in the shade Bit, Jim de Hamill is the hilarious foil in Laszlo in “On the Run”: the vampire Laszlo Shiffs on the rent, leading to a grudge of almost 200 years and to the brief flight of Laszlo towards the Pennsylvania to live a life of human bartender Jackie Daytona. Hamill’s comic chops are fully exposed here as a bizarre, avenger, but very unconscious of vampire, and it’s a pleasure to see him have so much.

Arthur Pym, The fall of Usher’s house

Ah, the Pym Reaper. The loss of the Usher family allows Hamill to play a particularly intriguing wickedness: Pym is far from being a good person, but it is surprisingly nuanced in the way it acts as the ruthless thread drawing together the unhappiness that takes place. It is a wonderfully scary mirror for many worse roles in Hamill, and he plays it perfectly.

You know it must be here somewhere. The performance that has defined the biggest enemy of Dark Knight for generations of fans – and has continued to define it, when he returned to the Joker voice through various other projects – the Hamill Joker will forever remain so emblematic a projector of his career as Luke Skywalker. Capable of balancing the humor and darkness of the character in an equal measure while impregnating the prince of the clown with a theatrical carpet, Hamill took the great material which was given to him Batman And made him sing.
