Mark Hamill is a national treasure
If I could choose a famous person to spend the afternoon with, he'd be way up near the top of my list. (I'm not sure who would be at the top, I'll let you know when I meet the genie.)
Speaking of The Genie, if Robin Williams were still alive, he would be at the top of my list. Not only did he have that fun personality, he seemed like a genuinely caring and empathetic person.
Yes I would not trust a genie with ressurecting the dead
Robin williams was The Genie I was referring to.
I've spent a couple hours with him and Kevin Eastman (co-creator of TMNT) sitting on a folding chair at San Diego Comic Con pre-2000s. Back then, Mark was heavily into promoting his Comics and refused to sign anything SW related. You learn quickly not to discuss anything SW with him actually and so long as you kept ln topics he enjoyed, he was easy to talk to. Comic books, sci-fi in general, D&D and even funny bits about his time on General Hospital were things I discussed with him.
He's eclectic, that's my description of him.
Had a similar experience when I ran a table at a sci-fi con next to Richard Hatch. It had a really low turnout, so I kept him entertained the whole time. Really nice guy. Really into tabletop gaming.
OMG he was sooo into Warhammer for a while there in the 90s lmao. Probably listened to him talking about WH for 30 minutes alone haha. You're right , he was/is a very nice guy.
Was. He unfortunately passed away in 2017.
He liked me because I made him laugh. One time, someone came up and said, "You're uh... uh..." and I quickly said, "Dirk Benedict!" He liked that.
