The actor who played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars has removed all direct references to the films from his CV.

Mark Hamill said he wanted to be known as more than "just the guy with a light sabre".

Hamill, 52, wants to highlight his other movies, his hundreds of cartoon voice-overs, his comic book work, CD-ROMs and Broadway plays.

Ananova quoted him as saying: "It seems to me that it's semi-fraudulent for me to be still playing on Star Wars.

"It seems to me that I just owe the public new product.

"If I wanted to be a nostalgia artist, boy, I could embrace it wholeheartedly."

Hamill's latest production is Six Dance Lessons In Six Weeks - a comedy with just two actors.
