Mark Hamill may be best known for playing Luke Skywalker, but to his three kids—Nathan, Griffin, and Chelsea—he’s simply dad. Hamill married Marilou York in 1978, and their family grew with the birth of Nathan in 1979, Griffin in 1983, and Chelsea in 1988. Despite his iconic career, Hamill has always been involved in his children’s lives, even sharing that his father’s more authoritarian approach to parenting influenced his own hands-on style. Hamill’s children, each with their own unique interests, have followed in his creative footsteps. Nathan, an artist and comic strip creator, Griffin, a visual artist and martial arts instructor, and Chelsea, who works as his assistant, often join their dad at public events. The Hamills are a close-knit family, frequently sharing family moments and supporting each other in various creative endeavors.
Nathan Elias Hamill, 45
Born on June 25, 1979, Nathan was exposed to his father’s Star Wars legacy early, even appearing in The Phantom Menace as a child. An artist with a love for large-eyed creatures, Nathan has worked with Matt Groening at Bongo Comics and has collaborated on projects like 2 Dumb Dinos. His passion for cartoons and comics is deeply rooted in his childhood interests.
Griffin Tobias Hamill, 42
Griffin, born March 4, 1983, is both a visual artist and a martial arts instructor. He has appeared with Mark publicly and was featured in The Last Jedi as Salaka Kuchimba. Besides his creative work, Griffin teaches at MuDo Integrated Martial Art in Santa Monica, CA, and shares a close bond with his father.
Chelsea Elizabeth Hamill, 36
Chelsea, born July 27, 1988, works as her father’s assistant and has accompanied him to various premieres, including the The Last Jedi in 2017. A dog lover, Chelsea frequently shares moments with her pets on social media. Her connection with her father extends beyond work—she treasures their time together, especially following the death of Carrie Fisher, a close family friend.
Mark Hamill’s enduring love for his children is matched only by his admiration for his wife, Marilou, with whom he shares a deep and enduring bond. From their humble beginnings to raising a family that shares his passion for creativity, the Hamill family continues to inspire.
