Anthony Michael Hall Bio: Early Life, Parents, and Education
Anthony, of Irish, English and Italian ancestry is the son of Mercedes Hall, a jazz singer, and her first husband Larry Hall. His parents divorced and he and his mother moved west, where his mother started pursuing a career as a featured singer. However, that only lasted for a year and a half, before the two returned to the East, eventually settling in New York City. His mother later remarried to Thomas Chestaro, and Anthony became a half-brother to Mary Chestaro, who is now a singer under the name Mary C. He went to St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s School of New York, but later transferred to Manhattan’s Professional Children’s School. After matriculation, Anthony didn’t continue education, as he focused solely on his acting career.
Career Beginnings
Anthony, influenced by both his mother and stepfather, who were involved in show business, began expressing desires of becoming involved in the same industry at the young age of seven. His first work was in commercials, appearing as the Honeycomb cereal kid, while also being featured in several toy commercials, among other credits. He gradually transitioned to acting roles, first on stage by making his debut in the play “The Wake”, a semi-autobiography about Steve Allen, in which he played young Steve Allen, and continuing with the play “St. Joan of Microphone”, before in 1980 making his screen debut in the television film “The Gold Bug”, in which he was the young Edgar Allan Poe.
Rise to Prominence
It was during the ‘80s that Anthony reached stardom, first with the part of Rusty Griswold in the adventure comedy film “National Lampoon’s Vacation” in 1983, then as Geek in the romantic comedy film “Six Candles” in 1984, and ultimately in the teen comedy-drama film “The Breakfast Club” (1985). All three films were written by John Hughes, while “Six Candles” and “The Breakfast Club”, were also directed by Hughes. Hughes and Anthony continued their collaboration, and Hall starred again in the teen-comedy film “Weird Science”, but Anthony wanted to make a change and avoid being typecast, so joined the cast of “Saturday Night Live”. By doing this, he became the youngest cast member in the show’s entire history, as he was only 17 at the time. His next screen role was as Daryl Cage in the film “Out of Bounds” in 1986, but to the end of the decade appeared only in the comedy film “Johnny Be Good” in 1988, co-starring Robert Downey Jr. and Paul Gleason, though he was offered the lead role in the film “Full Metal Jacket”, but couldn’t reach a financial agreement with Stanley Kubrick and the producers of the film.
Continual Success
Nothing changed for Anthony in the early ‘90s, as he started with the role of Jim in Tim Burton’s fantasy drama romance film “Edward Scissorhands”, starring Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder, and then in 1993 had a notable role in the comedy-drama film “Six Degrees of Separation” in which he had a kissing scene with Will Smith’s character, of which he said that it was the hardest role he ever had. The following year he tried himself as a director, debuting with the comedy “Hail Caesar”, co-starring Samuel L. Jackson, Judd Nelson and Robert Downey Jr. Five years later, after a stint of low budget films, Anthony portrayed Steve Jobs in the television film “Pirates of Silicon Valley”.
The 2000s and Recent years
The new millennium didn’t begin well for Anthony, as aside from a couple of minor roles in B-production films, he didn’t have much success, but in 2002 he was chosen for the part of Johnny Smith in the TV fantasy mystery series “The Dead Zone”, which aired until 2007. The series became a complete success, making Anthony a star once again. In 2008 he was Mike Engel in one of the most successful installments of the popular superhero Batman – “The Dark Knight” – but then again went into relative obscurity until 2014, being cast as Jack in the sports drama film “Foxcatcher”, starring Steve Carell, Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo. In recent years, Anthony played Paul Barnes in the TV crime-drama mystery series “Murder in the First”, appearing in five episodes of the last season, and was Glenn Lear in the comedy-drama film “The Lears” in 2017, while also appearing as a guest star in the popular crime-drama mystery series “Riverdale”.
