Star Wars<\/em> actor Mark Hamill made a surprise appearance in the White House press briefing on Friday, telling reporters he had just come from the Oval Office, though the purpose of his visit was unclear.<\/p>\n

“How many of you had ‘Mark Hamill will lead the press briefing’ on your bingo cards?” Hamill asked reporters, before taking off a pair of Biden’s trademark aviator glasses \u2014 a gift, he said, from the president.<\/p>\n
