The Boondocks: Mark Hamill, Streaming, And More! A Deep Dive

Ever wondered who lends their voice to the hilariously absurd characters in the animated series "The Boondocks?" The answer might surprise you, as a galaxy far, far away intersects with the satirical streets of Woodcrest, Illinois. The acclaimed actor Mark Hamill, known for his iconic role as Luke Skywalker, has also graced the screen as Grant, the seemingly harmless yet respected weed kingpin in "The Boondocks."

Mark Hamills diverse talent stretches beyond the lightsaber and into the realm of voice acting, where he has carved out a niche as one of the most recognizable voices in the industry. His portrayal of Grant in "The Boondocks" is a testament to his ability to embody characters across a broad spectrum of genres. In the Season 3 episode titled "Medicinal," which originally aired on July 18, 2010, Hamill's Grant becomes an unlikely solution to Grandad's mounting stress levels, offering a strain of pot known as "Skywalker," a clever nod to Hamill's most famous role. The episode, the twelfth in the season, sees Grandad turning to alternative methods after being warned by his doctor that his high stress could lead to dire health consequences. His encounter with Grant is facilitated by Thugnificent, who paints Grant as a figure to be feared, a portrayal that is quickly debunked once Robert, Granddad, actually meets him.
