Best known for playing Luke Skywalker across six films and several Star Wars TV series, Mark is also an acclaimed Broadway actor and one of the most highly regarded voice actors in Hollywood.

He's appeared on stage in The Elephant Man and Room Service, has won awards for his portrayal of Batman nemesis The Joker in several animated movies, and he's appeared in several of the popular Wing Commander video games.

Notable non-Star Wars roles include the films Kingsman: The Secret Service, Slipstream and Sleepwalkers, and now he's starring with Tom Hiddleston in the adaptation of the Stephen King novella 'The Life Of Chuck'.
