StarWars' Mark Hamill remembers Alec Guinness on his birthday
✖ Mark Hamill is remembering Star Wars actor Alec Guinness on his birthday. The Obi-Wan Kenobi actor was born on April 2 1914 and helped the Jedi become one of the most beloved characters in popular culture. Hamill likes to shine a light on the people he's worked alongside during his career. Guinness is an interesting case because he was an older presence on the Star Wars set. It seems like both the Luke Skywalker actor and his co-stars leaned a lot at the feet of this tenured performer.
Born April 2nd 1914 #AlecGuinness is one of the finest & most versatile actors of all time. He also happened to be kind, warm, witty, as well as generous & unassuming. He was everything I wanted him to be... & much, much more. #ForeverGratefulForOurFriendship pic.twitter.com/7fUsm31k7A "What's exciting for me to play him now is that I'm that much closer... The most exciting thing before was trying to play a younger Alec Guinness," McGregor explained."To study Alec Guinness' work and his performance in Star Wars and then try and feel like I was the younger version of him. That and the sword fights were pretty good fun to learn, as well. This time, I'm just going to be that much closer to him in age and it will be interesting to do that.
