This is Talking Hamill, Sienn's LiveJournal. Friend me and keep up to date with Mark's latest endeavours. Please note that this LJ has no official character. I'm just a fan trying to meet other fans and promote my favorite actor's projects. This LJ is meant to be a news source. If you're interested in extensive background information on anything Mark, please visit my MH website, Just The Best.

You may or may not already know that Mark has voiced for the new video game Darksiders: Wrath of War. I now found a trailer for Mark's character at YouTube. He is voicing The Watcher, not-so-loved companion of the game's lead character, apocalyptic horseman War.

This video not only shows extensive footage of the character and treats us to Mark's fabulous voice, we also go behind-the-scenes to see Mark give life to The Watcher! It's quite a thrilling performance. I found myself wishing this were a full-length animated movie. I'd go to the theater for this! :)


What do you think? It's a new voice. It's got something of Joker in it, but not that much. I think it's way more evil and less playful than Joker, and has a very demonic timbre to it.

You can find more info on the game at the official website: www.darksidersvideogame.com/

Mark will once again be at Comic-Con International in San Diego this year! The event is held July 23 to July 26 and fans have several opportunities to see him.

Autograph Session

Mark signs for Official Pix at their booth, Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25.

Award Presentation

According to the IMHFC, Mark is going to present a Will Eisner Comic Industry Award together with Bill Mumy during the gala ceremony on Friday, July 24 at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront. More details on the event here.

Panel "Batman: Arkham Asylum"

On Saturday, July 25 (8:30 to 12:15) Mark will be at a panel for a sneak peek at Batman: Arkham Asylum, in which he voices The Joker. With him will be, among others, writer Paul Dini and the voice of Batman, Kevin Conroy. Mark's panel will be followed by a panel discussion of the Director's Cut of Watchmen (no Mark, I think).

So, isn't this awesome???? I hope there will be many, many photos and YouTube videos and if you go to Comic-Con and meet Mark and/or see him at the panel or the award presentation, let us know!

You might know that Mark has been voicing Turtle in several episodes of the children's animated series My Friends Tigger & Pooh. I just learnt that he has resumed the role for another project.



Tigger & Pooh and a Musical Too is a full-length, straight-to-DVD feature and was released April 7, 2009. You can purchase the movie via Amazon.com.

As for Just The Best, I have updated the TV schedules. Check them out for the USA, for the UK & Ireland, and for Germany.

After a months-long absence, I am finally returning to Talking Hamill. I am in the process of introducing something like time management into my life. Because I'm not 100% there yet, my return is marked by relaying to you the huge updates on Just The Best today. Let me copy and paste.

If you want to, you can witness Mark's voicework on the big screen this month! Mark has done a voice for Battle for Terra, which premiered in US theaters May 1. He plays a Terrian Elder named Orin. Find out all about the movie at battleforterra.com.

Mark also had a short guest appearance on NASA's Irrelevant Astronomy. The episode is called Gravity and the Great Attractor and aired April 23. You have to watch until the very end to hear Mark's brief cameo. That said, the show is interesting for itself. I, at least, hadn't known anything of that before. Download it for your computer or your iPod here.

Let's go on. I learnt that Batman: Arkham Asylum will be released in a special Collector's Edition. This Collector's Edition doesn't only include cool Batman memorabilia, it also includes a Behind the Scenes DVD with interviews - also a Mark interview! So, if you want to get the game, think about getting the Collector's Edition!

Other Voiceover news - you can now pre-order Mythic Journeys and Quiet Earth reports that Conan: Red Nails seems to be slated for release in December 2009. Quantum Quest will premiere September 2009. All of this and more in the Project Tracker!

I hope that next time I hear of Mark news, I can post them directly. However, to prevent any potential future hiatus, Talking Hamill will feature every update on Just The Best. So if all goes well, you'll hear from me at least once a week.

I know it's been so many months since I've posted here. There's a rough and stressy time behind me, but it looks like things are going to calm down and I have every intention of breathing life back into Talking Hamill.

I start today with a wonderful goodie. The first trailer for Batman: Arkham Asylum is out there! In case you don't know, Mark is reprising the role of The Joker for this new game - it's simply thrilling that he's re-visiting the franchise. :)


The game looks very good, and make sure you listen right to the very end! So deliciously spooky!

As you can glean from the trailer, there is an official website up and running now. It is at http://www.batmanarkhamasylum.com.

I strive to catch up with all the folks on LJ throughout the next two weeks or so and prepare this LJ for the arrival of The Black Pearl, which hopefully won't take too long anymore.

On Saturday, June 28, Mark was at the Hilton Universal Hotel in Los Angeles for the Braille Challenge. Organized by the Braille Institute of America, this event is a competition in several categories between blind or visually impaired children of all ages from all over the US and Canada.

Mark was on hand to hold a little speech, give them their awards and pose for pictures. In the hour he was on stage he was funny, entertaining and was even persuaded to do some cartoon voices for the audience! :D

There are plenty of photos from the evening and you can listen to the entire award show as an .mp3 file. Mark's first appearance is at about 54 minutes into the show.

The Adventure Science Center in Nashville, Tennessee will have a Grand Opening Weekend for its new Sudekum Planetarium on June 28 - 29 and guess what?

No, Mark won't be there in person, BUT the ASC had a 26-minute show done for the opening weekend and Mark narrates the show!

It's called Stars - The Powerhouses of the Universe and is screened several times during the Opening Weekend.

So when you're in or close to Nashville and don't have anything to do, maybe you want to go and listen to Mark's wonderful voice. ;D

All information is here. 

The news website Noize reports that the band Exit Calm will be involved in the soundtrack of Mark's movie adaptation of The Black Pearl.

Read the full article at here.

Exit Calm have their own corner on MySpace - there you can listen to some of their work.

The latest photograph of Mark comes with a piece of voiceover news. Apparently Mark has worked with OddBot Inc. on a new project for Playhouse Disney.

There is no more detailed information at this point, but OddBot Inc. has uploaded a photograph of the cast and crew together with Mark to their blog. 

He looks great! :D

As soon as I learn more about the voiceover project I'll let you all know.

Mark is going to be at STAR WARS Celebration Japan!

The convention will be held July 19 to July 21 in the Makuhari-Messe Convention Center near Tokyo.

Mark is scheduled to sign autographs in the Celebration Japan Autograph Hall on all three days and he will also do a rare appearance on the Main Stage.

All important information is at www.celebrationjapan.com.
