Before he was ever Luke Skywalker, the Joker or Skeletor, veteran actor Mark Hamill tried his hand at a totally different role: Jack in the Box employee. As a teen in the ’70s, he didn’t find nearly as much success in the drive-thru window as he’d later have throughout his long-tenured film and TV career—in fact, he was fired from the fast food restaurant for impersonating a clown while taking orders.

Luckily, the brand believes in second chances, as evidenced by the limited returns of its Spicy Chicken Strips, French Toast Sticks and Hamill himself in a new campaign by AOR TBWA\Chiat\Day LA.
