Mark Hamill Forgets 1992 Stephen King Sleepwalkers Cameo

Mark Hamill, best known for his role in Star Wars, recently revealed that he does not remember his small cameo as Sheriff Jenkins in Stephen King's 1992 horror drama "Sleepwalkers." Directed by Mick Garris, the film, which features shapeshifting vampires feeding off local virgins, was poorly received and is considered one of King's less successful adaptations. Hamill took the role as a favor to Garris and is unsure if he was paid for it, noting that he often misses premieres and rarely watches all his films. Despite this, Hamill remains a longtime fan of Stephen King's work and has continued to act in King adaptations, including "The Life of Chuck" in 2024 and the upcoming "The Long Walk," where he plays a military leader in a dystopian America. He emphasized that "The Long Walk" focuses on the emotional and interpersonal experiences of its characters amid extraordinary circumstances. King has had a prolific career with many adaptations, starting with "Carrie" in 1974.
