Mark Hamill
Luke Skywalker held various ranks in the Rebel Alliance, but Hamill likely drew at least some inspiration from his father, who was a captain in the United States Navy. The family moved all over the country and even to Japan, where Hamill eventually graduated from high school. He took various roles in television shows and made-for-tv films but his big break famously came with “Star Wars.” At the time, few thought that the film would be a success at all, but the blockbuster hit and its many books, movies, and video games have resulted in a great deal of fame.
Michael Stipe
The son of a U.S. Army man, Michael Stipe met Peter Buck while he was attending the University of Georgia. Buck recalled that Stipe “bought weird records,” which led to the two becoming friends and deciding to start a band. Soon, two more friends joined, and the quartet called themselves R.E.M. As the group’s lead singer, Stipe has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and has toured all over the country.
Faye Dunaway
Faye Dunaway was born in Florida, the daughter of a US Army NCO. Due to her father’s career, she spent her childhood traveling throughout the United States in Europe, but she graduated from high school in Tallahassee. After attending college for theater, she was quickly appearing in Broadway shows, which led to her being spotted and brought onto the big screen.
