Mark Hamill Says That Categorizing Stephen King's Work as Horror Is a "Shame"
Mark Hamill, the icon known for his role as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, is seeing somewhat of a resurgence, thanks to the master of horror, Stephen King. Not only will audiences see him portray the ruthless Major in The Long Walk in September 2025, but Hamill is also featured in the recently released Mike Flanagan adaptation of The Life of Chuck, based on the author's novella of the same name. The actor is a newcomer to the world of King adaptations (unless you count his cameo in Sleepwalkers), but that doesn't mean he's not familiar with the author's work. When asked what his Stephen King origin story is, Hamill replies with a book that's terrifying. Yet, he also takes the time to note that it's "almost a shame" that King is "typed as a horror writer." Not that there's anything wrong with that…
