The Royal Family/Instagram; Samir Hussein/Samir Hussein/WireImage King Charles and Queen Camilla marked Father's Day on June 15 with throwback photos shared on Instagram The annual celebration came a day after Trooping the Colour, a high-profile event and the King's official birthday parade Prince Harry was noticeably absent from the event as a rift continues to cause distance despite him having recently said he would "love" to reconcile King Charlesis commemorating Father's Day amid a rift with his sonPrince Harry. On Sunday, June 15, the King's team posted a tribute on theInstagram accountthat he shares withQueen Camillato mark the occasion. The annual holiday is celebrated on the third Sunday in June in both the U.K. and the U.S. A black and white throwback photograph of King Charles andPrincess Annebeing pushed on a swing by their late father,Prince Philip, was shared alongside a snap ofQueen Camillawith her own father, the late Major Bruce Shand. "To all Dads everywhere, we wish you a happy Father's Day today," the post was captioned. The Royal Family/Instagram The holiday came amid a rift distancing the King, 76, from his younger son, the Duke of Sussex, in a fissure that won't seem to heal. Prince Harry and his wife,Meghan Markle,were not invited to the third Trooping the Colour of the King's reignon Saturday, June 14, where many members of the royal family came together to attend the King'sofficial birthday parade. The familial rift first became public when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from their royal roles in 2020 and relocated to her home state of California. The couple made the move with their sonPrince Archie, now 6, while their daughterPrincess Lilibet, 4, was born in California in 2021. A sticking point of the strain is said to be the automatic state-funded U.K. security that Prince Harry lost when he stepped back from his royal role. On May 2, a judgedismissed his pivotal legal appeal to have the protection restored, a crucial update in the legal battle Harry's lawyers have described asa fight for his life. Opening up to the BBC in a bombshell interview that aired the same day, the Duke of Sussex said he would"love" to reconcile with his family, but that King Charles "won't speak to me." "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore," Prince Harry said in the interview.

Palace sources said at the end of last year that the King's treatment for cancerwould continue into this year, "moving in a positive direction and as a managed condition." In a personal admission, Harry added, "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile." Another shock comment of the BBC interview was the Duke revealing he "can't see a world" where he would bring Meghan, Archie and Lili back to the U.K. without the key protection he seeks.

Rory McIlroy ends his US Open on a high note with a 67. The next major is in his home countryNew Foto - Rory McIlroy ends his US Open on a high note with a 67. The next major is in his home country

OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Rory McIlroy could leave Oakmont feeling like he accomplished something, even if it took the full four days for him to produce a truly impressive round. McIlroy shot a 3-under 67 on Sunday, finishing the U.S. Open at 7 over and giving himself a performance he can build off as he works toward the year's final major — next month's British Open at Royal Portrush in his home country of Northern Ireland. "It will be amazing to go home and play in that atmosphere and see a lot of people," McIlroy said. "I'm really looking forward to it. It was nice to end this week with a bit of a positive note with the way I played today." McIlroy skipped talking to the media after his first two rounds this week, and much ofhis availability Saturdaywas spent being asked why. His golf was a bigger topic Sunday. It had been unremarkable through three days, but he at least momentarily had Sunday's low round after finishing with six birdies — four on the back nine. "Physically I feel like my game's there," he said. "It's just mentally getting myself in the right frame of mind to get the best out of myself." That's beena themefor McIlroy lately when he has talked. Winning the Masters and completing the career Grand Slam was a seismic moment in his career, and returning to those heights has been a struggle. "Look, I climbed my Everest in April, and I think after you do something like that, you've got to make your way back down, and you've got to look for another mountain to climb," he said. "An Open at Portrush is certainly one of those." First, McIlroy has the Travelers Championship in Connecticut next week. And the Scottish Open is a week before Royal Portrush. In addition to finding motivation, McIlroy has needed to work out some issues on the tee after his driver was deemed nonconforming before the PGA Championship. In that respect, Oakmont was a step forward — even if at times this week he seemed eager to leave this course behind. "I feel like I've driven the ball well all week," McIlroy said. "Really encouraged with the driver and how I drove it as well. It's not necessarily the driver, it's more me and sort of where my swing was. I feel like I got a really good feeling in my swing with the driver, which was great. Hopefully I can continue that on into next week." After the Travelers, a return to the other side of the Atlantic looms, and McIlroy is looking forward to it. "If I can't get motivated to get up for an Open Championship at home, then I don't know what can motivate me," he said. "I just need to get myself in the right frame of mind. I probably haven't been there the last few weeks." ___ AP golf:https://apnews.com/hub/golf

From 'Jaws' to 'The Meg,' we rank the 10 best shark movies of all timeNew Foto - From 'Jaws' to 'The Meg,' we rank the 10 best shark movies of all time

USA TODAY and Yahoo may earn commission from links in this article. Pricing and availability subject to change. For five decades, it hasn't been safe to go back into the water. Thanks,"Jaws." The big screen has played host to a never-ending spate of troublesome man-eating sharks ever since Steven Spielberg'skiller-fish spectacle. And now's the time to celebrate all things Amity Island with the 50th anniversary of "Jaws" (originally released June 20, 1975). It was the first summer blockbuster and remains one of Spielberg's greatest hits in his storied career. Not to mention having the most iconic – and ominous – two-note musical theme ever. Since "Jaws," audiences have developed a deep hunger for these underwater antagonists – hello, Shark Week! – so we're ranking the top 10 shark movies ever. (It's probably worth noting that, like withbasketball comedies, the quality drops off quickly after the first few.) And sorry, "Sharknado." We're excluding made-for-TV flicks from our list, but you, "Ghost Shark" and "Sharktopus" are still cool. Join our Watch Party!Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox The proudly B-movie "Deep Blue Sea" franchise has a penchant for seriously bonkers shark attacks. This third installment is no different: Tania Raymonde plays the head of a group of video-blogging environmentalists on an artificial island in the Mozambique Channel, and her marine biologist ex (Nathaniel Buzolic) shows up with a goon squad hunting a trio of genetically engineered, crazy-smart bull sharks. (Fun fact: You'll root for the fish.) Where to watch:Apple TV,Amazon,Fandango at Home. The first half of this sequel is a dull underwater sci-fi action flick all about folks turning on each other for natural resources and Jason Statham's diver dude saving his trouble-magnetic daughter. Then director Ben Wheatley lets loose with the creature feature we came for, where our hero has to deal with a trio of hungry megalodons, a kaiju-sized octopus and other freaky monsters attacking "Fun Island," a beachy locale that maniacally lives up to its name. Where to watch:Max,Apple TV,Amazon,Fandango at Home. Imagine the pressure of following "Jaws" without Steven Spielberg and two of your top actors. But unlike the two sequels that came later, this follow-up wasn't absolute chum. The shark is still crazy destructive – even taking on a helicopter – but what's neat here is the return of Roy Scheider as the police chief who's voted out when the powers-that-be don't believe another beast is in the water, but who saves the day anyway. Where to watch:Tubi,Apple TV,Amazon,Fandango at Home. It does give you the hand-to-fin combat you want from Jason Statham battling a 75-foot-long prehistoric shark, but getting there is a bit arduous: A bunch of researchers plumb new depths off the coast of Shanghai and accidentally unleash the Meg. It's all pretty corny and earnest until the ginormous shark starts wreaking havoc on ships and people in inner tubes. Where to watch:Max,Apple TV,Amazon,Fandango at Home. A bunch of Australian friends (including a pair of lovers) sailing a yacht to Indonesia crash their boat on a coral reef and are stranded in the middle of the ocean. Their only hope is to get to a nearby island, a situation made harder – and much more tense – by a clever great white, noteworthy for being a real shark rather than a CGI one like most films use. Extra points for a headless giant turtle corpse. Where to watch:Apple TV,Amazon,Fandango at Home. This Sundance Film Festival breakout used actual sea life to add all-too-realism to its worst-case vacation scenario. A married couple go on a scuba expedition to help their relationship and wind up getting stranded, with jellyfish stinging and sharks circling. It's an unnerving narrative that aims for authentic emotions and some very hard decisions when it comes to survival. Where to watch:Tubi,Pluto TV,Apple TV,Amazon,Fandango at Home. Not only did it nab aStephen King Tweet of Approval, there's a lot to enjoy in this high-end B-movie. A scientist (Bérénice Bejo) partners with a cop (Nassim Lyes) for help when a man-eating menace begins a killing spree, sets up shop in the catacombs and threatens a major triathlon that's come to town. In addition to some "Jaws" nods (including a clueless mayor), the final act is full of fishy mayhem, all leading to one heck of a last-scene cliffhanger. Where to watch:Netflix. The prettiest shark movie you'll ever see, it's essentially "Let's go surfing with Blake Lively in paradise" until her character becomes the target of a hungry shark. A scene-stealing seagull is her only confidante as she tends to a really nasty leg bite – luckily, she's pre-med! – and uses her smarts (and a flare gun) to foil the shark's meal plans. Where to watch:Apple TV,Amazon,Fandango at Home. Sure, the ridiculous factor is high when you consider that the sci-fi thriller centers on super-duper-smart sharks born from the studies of scientists working on an Alzheimer's cure. But it totally owns that silliness in an enjoyable way, like a shark using a dude strapped to a gurney as a battering ram. Bonus: The film offers up an all-time great movie death, a joyously gnarly munch you don't see coming until it's too late. Where to watch:Apple TV,Amazon,Fandango at Home. The seafaring masterpiece sinks every other shark movie in its utter perfection. Hollywood's first summer blockbuster is aces across the board, from sheer terror to the unforgettable John Williams score (which keeps the dread going even without the toothy predator). But what really elevates the film from creature feature to complex shark-ridden drama is the trio of main characters, including top cop Brody (Roy Scheider), nerdy oceanographer Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and Ahab-esque hunter Quint (Robert Shaw). Where to watch:Tubi,Peacock,Apple TV,Amazon,Fandango at Home. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY:'Jaws' 50th anniversary: The 10 best shark movies ever, ranked

Remembering Sly Stone and Brian WilsonNew Foto - Remembering Sly Stone and Brian Wilson

It happened this past week ... we learned of the passing of two giants of popular music: Brian Wilson, of the Beach Boys; and Sly Stone, frontman of Sly and the Family Stone. Sly Stone Born Sylvester Stewart in 1943, he became "Sly" when a classmate misspelled his first name on the chalkboard. A gifted musician, by four he was singing on stage. He made his first recording at 9, and was working as a DJ when he formed a band in 1966. Just a year later, "Dance to the Music" launched Sly and the Family Stone – the first major group to include Black and White men and women – into super-stardom. Sly and the Family Stone perform "Dance to the Music": A string of hits followed in quick succession, including "Everyday People,"  "Family Affair," and "Hot Fun in the Summertime." But by the end of the 1970s, drug addiction and mental health issues had taken their toll.  The band broke up, and Stone faded from the spotlight. The band reunited in 2006 when they were honored at the Grammy Awards. It would be the last major performance by a man whose style, social conscience, and revolutionary sound forever changed the course of pop music. Sly Stone died Monday in Los Angeles. He was 82. "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" by Sly and the Family Stone: Brian Wilson Then, on Wednesday, we learned of the passing of another musical genius, with an altogether different sound. Brian Wilson was born in California in 1942. In his teens, he (along with brothers Dennis and Carl, cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine) started a band. Around that time Dennis started surfing, and asBrian told "Sunday Morning's" Anthony Mason in 2015, the rest, is history. "Mike and I started writing surf songs," he said. "But I never surfed, and he never surfed, either." "Did you feel the need to surf for any reason?" Mason asked. "No. I never tried it." "Surfin' USA," by the Beach Boys: But the Beach Boys' sonic palette of surf, sun, cars, and endless summers made them an indelible part of America's pop culture. Widely considered one of rock's greatest songwriters,Brian Wilson was 82. Brian Wilson/Tony Asher's "God Only Knows," from the Beach Boys album "Pet Sounds": Story produced by Liza Monasebian.

Triumph for Kubica as Ferrari wins the 24 Hours of Le Mans for third year in a rowNew Foto - Triumph for Kubica as Ferrari wins the 24 Hours of Le Mans for third year in a row

LE MANS, France (AP) — Robert Kubica's long road back from a crash which nearly ended his career culminated in victory at the24 Hours of Le Manson Sunday as Ferrari won for the third year running. Only a late surge from Porsche Penske Motorsport denied the Italian manufacturer a podium sweep. The No. 83 Ferrari 499P crew of Robert Kubica, Ye Yifei and Philip Hanson took the win as Ferrari won for the 12th time in the 93rd edition of the storied race, which began 102 years ago. Their bright-yellow car, privately entered by the AF Corse team, got the better of Porsche and the two official factory-entered Ferraris. Kubica took the checkered flag after a marathon spell at the wheel Sunday afternoon to make sure of the win. "It has been a long 24 hours," Kubica said to his team over the radio and thanked them in Italian. "Enjoy." The Penske-operated No. 6 Porsche 963 of Kévin Estre, Laurens Vanthoor and Matt Campbell surged late in the race to finish second ahead of the two other Ferraris, 14 seconds behind the winner. Kubica's long comeback For Kubica and Ye, it was redemption after their car — then with Robert Shwartzman as third driver — was a strong contender to winlast year's racebefore a crash, a penalty and finally a race-ending mechanical failure. It's a career highlight for 40-year-old Polish driver Kubica, whose promising Formula 1 career was interrupted in 2011 when a crash while competing in a rally left him with severe injuries. Kubica's right arm and hand were partially severed and he had multiple fractures. After surgery and physical therapy, Kubica joined the World Rally Championship in 2013 and eventually made it back to F1 with Williams in 2019, something that even he had once considered almost impossible. He last raced in F1 in 2021. Kubica is the first driver from Poland to win Le Mans outright, and Ye is the first from China to achieve that feat. "It's a great story that we finally put a perfect ending with Robert," Ye told broadcasters. "It looks easier from the outside than it is in the car. It's just unbelievable." Winning from 13th on the grid Ferrari was off the pace in qualifying, with the two factory cars 7th and 11th on the grid and the eventual winner 13th. But once tennis great Roger Federer waved the starting flag Saturday, Ferrari's pace over long race runs soon became clear. After a close fight with Toyota in last year's race, this time Ferrari often seemed in near-total control. Early Sunday morning, it was on target for the first top-class podium sweep by one manufacturer since 2012. Ferrari didn't have it all its own way in the final hours, though. Alessandro Pier Guidi spun in the No. 51 car on his way into the pits, losing the lead, while the resurgent No. 6 Porsche piled on the pressure. Le Mans is as much a test of drivers' resilience as it is the cars' reliability. Both held up well in an unusually calm race that avoided much of the usual nighttime drama with few significant crashes and just one safety-car period. Polish team Inter Europol Competition won the LMP2 class and Manthey won the GT3 class in a Porsche 911. ___ This story has been corrected. It was the 93rd edition of the race and 102 years since it began, not the 102nd edition of the race. ___ AP auto racing:https://apnews.com/hub/auto-racing

Can new commission police money paid to college athletes? Good luck with that.New Foto - Can new commission police money paid to college athletes? Good luck with that.

In the handful of days since details became public about how thenew rules around college athlete paywill work, there are stillmany unanswered questions. But the one that seems most important to the coaching staffs that must build rosters is as old as time: Will the newCollege Sports Commissiontruly be able to police the money that will inevitably change hands under the table? The thing about the so-called "Wild West" era of name, image and likeness, as unregulated and messy as it seemed at times, was that everyone knew the score. It might not seem logical for a booster collective to pay $750,000 for an unproven left tackle, but it was, in a strange way, all above board and out in the open. The new world after theHouse vs. NCAA settlementis going to be different in several ways, at least on paper: A $20.5 million "benefits cap" per school that will go up incrementally every year An online clearinghouse run by the prominent accounting firm Deloitte where athletes have to register outside NIL deals over $600 for approval, powered by an algorithm that measures market value. The idea is to sniff out booster-fueled deals that have created what some administrators like to call a fake market for players, while allowing athletes to pursue the so-called "real NIL" like product endorsements. A still somewhat opaque arbitration process an athlete can use if a deal gets rejected, where a supposedly independent person (or persons) will have the final say on whether a deal goes through. Some kind of subpoena power that would be used in such a process, though it's unclear exactly how far-reaching that power will be (Are we talking about bank and tax records? Text messages?) and the impact of non-compliance. Would a court of law really intervene to enforce the subpoena? And, perhaps most significantly to the fan experience that has been turned upside down by a completely unregulated transfer environment, schools will have the ability to offer multi-year contracts with buyouts and penalties. If, for instance, a player wants to transfer after the first year of a two-year deal, the buyout paid by the new school would count against its cap. We know all this stuff will, at some point, be subject to further lawsuits and scrutiny unless there's some kind of Congressional intervention. The entire idea of imposing certain earning limits on athletes without some type of collective bargaining process is probably a loser in the long-term. OPINION:Tennessee's attempt to undermine settlement is a red flag in new world of college sports Even in the halls of NCAA headquarters these days, there's a hint of a Jerry Seinfeld attitude about whether some of these limits will hold up after years of getting their rear end handed to them in court:Good luck with all that.But ultimately, this is what the power conferences wanted. This is their show. They created the CSC, they agreed on these rules and they're the ones who ultimately must figure out something else if this doesn't work. Some of the people that put a lot of time and effort into creating this new setup are understandably annoyed by cynical commentary about whether it will work before it even gets off the ground. However, many of the biggest cynics are inside their houses. Based on the messages I've received from coaches who – let's face it – understand how the real world works a whole lot better than the C-suite folks, there are legitimate concerns about whether the CSC and Deloitte will truly be able to follow the money. OPINION:Opinion: Trump and proposed commission on college sports can't change reality What if, for instance, an athlete strikes a deal with a booster and just … doesn't report it to the clearinghouse? Will there truly be a mechanism to find it and police it? That was always the NCAA's problem with enforcement: It was difficult, if not impossible, to compel cooperation without subpoena power. Though arbitration proceedings like the one outlined in the House settlement will provide some type of subpoena power, how far reaching will it be? Will its power vary by state? Will it truly be enforced? And if someone gets busted, will the school avoid penalties by claiming they didn't know? If so, we're kind of right back where we started. Additionally, assports attorney Darren Heitner pointed outthis weekend on X, the language in the rules makes it somewhat questionable whether Deloitte could reject a deal funded by a booster collective but presented by a corporate entity like a car dealership being used as a pass-through. The biggest challenge for the NCAA/CSC/Deloitte is that#NILmoney to players doesn't have to flow from "associated entities" to athletes.If a car dealership receives $ from a booster and pays a player $3m, how can Deloitte reject it? Fair market value analysis only relates to… — Darren Heitner (@DarrenHeitner)June 14, 2025 Don't scoff: Lack of imagination is what got these guys into a bad situation in the first place. When NIL became legal in 2021, few saw the true impact of collectives coming. And the whole thing about buyouts limiting transfers? What if agents just simply don't allow their players to sign a contract that would truly limit their ability to change schools without repercussions for themselves or their new school? It's not like athletic departments have done a great job negotiating those things when it comes to their own coaching contracts. At this stage of the game, it's not productive to say the new system is doomed. While it seems a longshot given the current political climate and governmental priorities, perhapsCongress will come in and codify this stuffto some extent. And maybe all of the guardrails built into the CSC will keep things orderly to some extent. But now that power point presentations and Q-and-A documents are being circulated in advance of the July 1 implementation, the people who deal with recruiting realities on a day-to-day basis are wondering whether they're in for a fair fight or this is simply a new way for cheaters to perform a very old trick. Better to poke those theoretical holes in it now, because in just a couple weeks, you can guarantee some people are going to try to find real ones.

Meghan Markle's Celebrity Wedding List Had a Secret Agenda, Insider AllegesNew Foto - Meghan Markle's Celebrity Wedding List Had a Secret Agenda, Insider Alleges

Meghan Markle's Celebrity Wedding List Had a Secret Agenda, Insider Allegesoriginally appeared onParade. A royal insider alleges thatMeghan Markle's wedding list, filled with A-list stars, had a secret agenda. They believe the Duchess of Sussex was trying to set the stage for her future as an A-lister the day she married into the royal family. Celebrities includingOprah Winfrey, George and Amal Clooney, Victoria and David Beckham, Serena Williams, and James Corden were invited to the May 2018 event to boost Markle's Hollywood connections, alleges a new report byThe Daily Mail. The publication cites a former high-profile magazine editor, who believes these public figures were friends Markle wanted to "recruit." Ex-Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown, author ofThe Palace Papers, cites the star power of the event as the reason for her claim. Brown alleges in her book, "The celebrity guests were a portrait not of Meghan's intimate circle but of the friends she most wanted to recruit." This statement alleges Meghan's royal wedding may have doubled as a strategic move to deepen her ties with Hollywood's elite. This statement appeared to be supported by Rachel Johnson, who wrote an article forAirMailin 2020 sharing Clooney's admission that he and his wife weren't close with the Sussexes before being invited to their wedding. "In 2018, there was a splashy royal wedding full of celebrities that could not possibly be old and dear friends of the bridal couple," Johnson's post began. Parade Daily🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 "Oprah, Posh and Becks, James Corden, et al., went to Harry and Meghan's nuptials, and there's a story doing the rounds that while Carolyn Bartholomew, Diana's former flatmate, was waiting for the wedding service to start, she turned to the couple alongside her and asked how they knew Harry or Meghan. 'We don't,' the Clooneys answered brightly." Since the wedding, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not been publicly seen with any of the aforementioned public figures, save for Winfrey, with whom they sat down for a one-on-one interview in 2021, and Corden, who interviewed the prince forThe Late Show with James Cordenthat same year. However, that is not to say the couple does not correspond with any of these celebrities privately. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary on May 19. They are parents to two children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.

Even after all this time, Mark Hamill's still got the kids enraptured. Two years ago, Benjamin Pajak was 12 when he was going to film his scenes with Hamill for the newStephen Kingmovie adaptation "The Life of Chuck" (in theaters now). Like youngsters almost 50 years ago, Pajak grew up loving Hamill in"Star Wars"and "I was nervous to meet the guy," he says. "Somehow that got out and they scheduled me a lunch with Mark and I was freaking out." Hamill is a little amazed himself that this continues to happen. "I certainly never expected to have the longevity," says the erstwhile Luke Skywalker. "Really young kids have no concept of time. They think we made those movies two months ago."

He played ruthless fixer Arthur Gordon Pym in Mike Flanagan's Netflix horror drama "The Fall of the House of Usher" and crusty yet kind grandpa Albie Krantz in Flanagan's "Life of Chuck." Next, he stars as a sadistic military man known as the Major in another King adaptation, "The Long Walk" (in theaters Sept. 12). Pajak says Albie is "the role (Mark) was meant to do": "Life of Chuck" tells the story of ordinary accountant Chuck Krantz (Tom Hiddleston) in reverse chronological order, and Albie is a wise father figure for young Chuck (Pajak and Cody Flanagan) after the death of his parents. Hamill says there's "an overlay of grief and tragedy" in Albie, who's also an accountant, having lost his son, pregnant daughter-in-law and a grandchild he'd never meet. Yet Albie shows he's still got a spicy side when Chuck dares to call math boring. "It touches a nerve in him and he is just rhapsodized," says Hamill, who has a moving speech that was "a bugger to memorize" and spent every day for a few weeks working on it. "He lays his heart and soul out but even I thought how amusing it is that of all the things that would turn someone on to math, it's 'when you're looking at the stars, you're looking at the greatest equation in the universe.' That's who he is." Albie is a definite contrast from Arthur Pym, one of the most heinous men Hamill's ever played in his career. "I routinely play really odd characters in voiceover. I rarely get those kind of parts on camera," he says. "I was thrilled. Some people would be insulted that they came to mind when you're meant to play a soulless, sociopathic, evil person. But I loved it." Hamill also dug his scenery-chewing role in "The Long Walk." Francis Lawrence's dystopian thriller centers on young men competing in a grueling annual walking contest who trudge along a highway: If anybody's pace falls under 3 mph, they're executed until only one survivor is left. Cooper Hoffman, Ben Wang, Charlie Plummer and David Jonsson are among the competitors who are "the heart and soul of this movie," Hamill says. "I do my job, I torment them." And during the holiday season, Hamill's back in the voiceover game playing the villainous Flying Dutchman in "The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (in theaters Dec. 19). He appeared on a 2007 episode of the "SpongeBob SquarePants" show, one that was distinguished for being the first time that Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway had worked together since "McHale's Navy." "I'm a '60s kid and I was really excited about that," Hamill says. Anytime Hamill waxes nostalgic in conversation, "Star Wars" inevitably comes up. He recalls reading George Lucas' script and wishing he could play Darth Vader or Han Solo, and opines about his iconic co-stars, being "wide-eyed and in awe" of Harrison Ford and wowed by wisecracking 19-year-old Carrie Fisher, who "had the wisdom of an elderly woman." He gets a kick out of people remembering him, too: "I'll be in an airport and parents will say to their 4- and 5-year-olds, 'Look who it is, it's Luke Skywalker!' And they look up and they're just horrified. Like, what happened? This guy really let himself go! I say, 'Just tell him I'm Luke's grandfather.'
