Hamill finds Broadway stumble after Star Wars fame
Mark Hamill, now based in New York, claims the stage is his primary medium yet his Broadway foray in The Elephant Man ends in disaster. He clashes with producers, loses his personal manager, and an already fading run folds after just three weeks. Hamill remains financially secure from Star Wars profits and will return as Luke in Revenge of the Jedi. He sees himself as an actor seeking a strong, independent role beyond his iconic screen persona.
