Who does Mark Hamill voice in Futurama?

In Futurama, Mark Hamill voices Chanukah Zombie, the representative for the holiday of Chanukah. Hamill voiced the character in the spin-off movie Bender’s Big Score, one of many direct-to-DVD films produced after Futurama’s first cancellation, meant to round up the show’s storylines. In a subtle wink to Hamill’s Star Wars role, Chanukah Zombie flies a ship that appears to be a Chanukah version of a TIE Fighter.

Recently, Mark Hamill has reprised his role in the season 11 episode “I Know What You Did Next Xmas”, as part of the animated comedy’s 2023 revival series. Hamill worked once more with the late rapper Coolio, who voiced Kwanzaa-bot, the Kwanzaa counterpart of Chanukah Zombie. The episode was Coolio’s last role, recorded prior to his death in 2022.
