When did Mark Hamill start looking like Orson Welles?

I’m not sure when it happened, but it did.

Mark Hamill started looking curiously like Orson Welles (minus the massive steak and wine gut, of course).

I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but I find the similarities kinda striking.

Is it the beard? The patches of grey just under the chin? Or maybe it’s the graying, receding hairline and the coy, furled, once-a-smoker brow that shield those cold-as-ice eyes?

If Hamill keeps up the trend of looking as haggard as he currently does, I wouldn’t be surprised if he directs his own Henry V adaption come this time five years or ends up slumming TV spots for some cheap American wine.

He’s off to Toronto.

I’ll be in Toronto the weekend of March 8-11th, presenting my paper “Conspicuous Ambiguity” at the Intersections / Cross-Sections Conference at York and Ryerson Universities.

Time to see what the weather’s like down South.

He’s been published again.

A piece of poetry I wrote last year (and then modified), and submitted earlier this one, has also just been picked up and published. Who would have ever figured that one out? I have to admit, it’s a pretty nerdy literary piece.

Be sure to check out “Mephistopheles” in Right Hand Pointing.
