Not only is Mark Hamill beloved for playing Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars movies, he’s also the renowned voice actor behind iconic villains like Batman’s Joker and Avatar: The Last Airbender’s Fire Lord Ozai. Now, as Daniel Dae Kim prepares to play the big bad in Netflix’s adaptation of Avatar, he spoke to CinemaBlend about Hamill’s voice performance and how it impacted his portrayal of the Fire Lord in Netflix’s live-action adaptation. <br/><br/>Hamill’s performance as Ozai in the animated Avatar: The Last Airbender is wicked, iconic and barely recognizable.
