His role hasn’t been revealed yet, but does it matter, really? It’s Mark Hamill. Luke Skywalker himself. And he’s appearing in WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS. That’s all you need to know. That’s for sure all *I* needed to know. It’s fun to theorize, sure. Will he be playing a vampire? I hope so.
Hamill could have been a one-hit wonder, forever typecast as the young, naïve, but brave wannabe hero. He’s just too talented, though, for that to have happened. Maybe lucky, too, since luck has so much to do with any star “making it”. Talent only takes you so far, but he’s got plenty of that, too. If you have any doubts about just how good he is, watch SUSHI GIRL. Talk about a performance that should have received an Oscar nomination!
We know how many A-list guest stars they crammed into the show last season, most of them in that one episode. Add Hamill’s name to that august list. The fact that so many big names are willing to work on the series is as good an indication as there is of just how superb the show is.
It would be so fun to see Hamill as a vampire.
