Mark Hamill Stands on His Walk of Fame Star in 'Kimmel' Bit, Goes Largely Unrecognized

Overview

• Jimmy Kimmel Live filmed the stunt on the Hollywood Walk of Fame outside the El Capitan Theatre as coverage of Hamill’s newly unveiled star continued.
• Hamill dressed down in a plain T-shirt, jeans, jacket, glasses, and a baseball cap to appear ordinary to passersby.
• He told two men that the person whose name was on the star had died in a jet ski accident, and they checked their phones instead of identifying him.
• A Darth Vader cosplayer walked past without recognizing him, prompting Hamill’s quip, “Dad, I told you, don’t follow me at work.”
• After switching to a shirt with his own face and name, one woman asked if he was Mark Hamill, then took a photo even after he jokingly denied it.
