speaking of KOTOR, why do the far in the past prequels like KOTOR have the same technology as every other entry in the series? does their universe never change?

people say this but how many movies or other major productions did he appear in after star wars, what exactly did those performances leverage him into?

he got a steady gig as the joker which eventually turned into the arkham series of games, but that was what, like 15 years of remaking himself from being luke skywalker? and even after that the best non star wars thing he could land was some bullshit in loving star citizen?

his career was over after star wars lol, he just had the gumption to make a new career from scratch.

I mean, kind of, but that's true of many actors who just kind of fade away after a big role. The fact that he still exists and makes money outside of Star Wars means his career wasn't destroyed, it just didn't do as well as you might've expected.

Dude's still loving rich though.

dude got into a car wreck and was all hosed up for a while and then he went to make a bunch of weird movies in japan apparently

he said at some point he got into voice acting because he was self-conscious about his face after the accident

isn't this not true - the accident was mid-way through doing Star Wars and was mostly just a broken nose plus a bit of scarring?

If you thought that stuff was cool you really really owe it to yourself to hunt down the original JP4 script that's talked about here...

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/18166

quote:

All of that happens by page 39, at which point I realized I had no idea where this thing was going, and I quit trying to guess. It kept confounding my expectations. It certainly didn’t feel like it was just another rehash of the same formula. When Nick wakes up, he’s in the tower of a medieval castle in the Alps. Seriously. That’s the precise moment when the entire enterprise goes so over-the-top loony that you’ll either go along with it for the entire insane ride or reject it roundly as a big bag of ludicrous. Nick is introduced to Adrien Joyce, the major domo henchman of Baron von Drax, CEO of the Grendel Corporation. Joyce isn’t a moustache-twirling bad guy bent on torturing Nick into revealing where he hid the shaving cream can. Instead, he offers Nick a job, and in order to explain the job to him, he has to take him on a tour of the entire castle, which turns out to be a fairly sophisticated genetics lab where Grendel Corporation has been breeding some dinosaurs of their own design, cross-breeds that never existed in any era of nature with all sorts of custom modifications.


I want to tread lightly on what happens over the course of the rest of the film on the off chance that Mary Parent or someone at Universal is seriously going to make this thing. There’s the eight-year-old-boy side of me that thinks that a DIRTY DOZEN-style mercenary team of hyper-smart dinosaurs in body armor killing drug dealers and rescuing kidnapped children will be impossible to resist. And then there’s the side of me that says... WHAT THE gently caress ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! Nick is put in charge of training these five dinosaurs, X1 through X5, and the first thing he does is name them. “Any soldier worth his pay has a name to answer to, not a number,” he says. So we are introduced to Achilles, Hector, Perseus, Orestes, and Spartacus, each of them a specially created deinonychus, which is sort of like a miniature T-rex. They have super-sensitive smell and hearing, incredible strength and speed and pack-hunting instincts, and they have modified forelegs, lengthened and topped with more dextrous fingers, as well as dog DNA for increased obedience and human DNA so they can solve problems well. All of this is topped off with a drug-regulating implant that can dose them with adrenaline or serotonin as the situation demands.


I forget where I downloaded it, but this doesn't undersell it one bit. It's one of the craziest scripts I've ever read.

yeah, that role was too iconic. i remember renting the guyver? some real bad movie he was in and it just was impossible because he was luke and couldn't be anything else to me and i imagine that's what a lot of casting directors thought. it's really impressive that he was able to pull a second iconic role out with joker, who now i compare any joker voice too, usually negatively because he's really good as joker.

i kinda think he might be a better actor in general now than he was when he was a dumb kid?

haha, if only. i'm sure he has a saclopedia entry. i didn't follow him all that close but he was like a ron paul supporter? and he had all these conspiracy beliefs, with graphs or whatever. there's some image i'm sure somebody has with two triangles. it was just crazy political nonsense and he did it for a long time and from what i heard it eventually came out that it was a gimmick but it was really believable, to the point that i probably had him on ignore, which is why i don't know a lot.

Try watching Guyver 2, where even if you don't recognize the main guy's face, every now and then you'll hear something in his voice and eventually realize it's Solid Snake
