Luke Skywalker nearly had a more sinister name. For over three decades, Hamill embodied the voice of one of the most iconic and unhinged villains in the DC animated universe, The Joker, before stepping away from the role in 2022 following the passing of Batman’s voice actor Kevin Conroy.
Yet The Joker isn’t the sole nefarious character Hamill has brought to life. Throughout the years, the enthusiastic comic book collector has voiced a variety of villains, anti-heroes, and outright rogues within the animated realms of Marvel and DC, including Hobgoblin, Nightmare, Tony Zucco, and Red Skull. He even took on the role of The Trickster in not just one, but two live-action “The Flash” TV series -– separated by more than 20 years. However, arguably one of the celebrated actor’s most overlooked performances was as one of Marvel’s most eccentric supervillains: Dr. Arnim Zola.
