Anthony Michael Hall was born on April 14, 1968, in Boston, Massachusetts. His full name is Michael Anthony Thomas Charles Hall. His mother, Mercedes Hall, was a blues-jazz singer. When Hall was six months old, his parents divorced. He later moved to New York City with his mother, who remarried Thomas Chestaro, a show business manager. Hall has a half-sister, Mary Chestaro, who performs under the name Mary C and is pursuing a career in music.
He attended St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s School and later enrolled at the Professional Children's School in Manhattan, a specialized institution catering to young actors and performers.
Anthony Michael Hall began his acting career in commercials, appearing in advertisements for Bounty paper towels and toys. He gained early recognition with his role as the "Honeycomb cereal kid." Hall made his stage debut in 1977 in the play The Wake, portraying Steve Allen.
His film breakthrough came in 1983 with the role of Rusty Griswold in National Lampoon's Vacation, which grossed over $61 million in the U.S. In 1984, Hall starred as a socially awkward teenager in Sixteen Candles, opposite Molly Ringwald. The film, directed by John Hughes, became a teen classic.
Hall collaborated again with Hughes in 1985 with two more iconic films: The Breakfast Club and Weird Science. His performances solidified his reputation as a key figure in 1980s teen cinema. That same year, at just 17 years old, Hall joined the cast of Saturday Night Live, becoming the youngest cast member ever at the time.
Following his initial success, Hall took on a variety of roles in both film and television. He appeared in Out of Bounds (1986) and Johnny Be Good (1988), though the latter was not well received. During this time, Hall faced personal struggles, including a period away from the screen that further contributed to shifts in his career trajectory.
He made a notable comeback with a supporting role in Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands (1990), a commercial and critical success. Transitioning into more mature roles, Hall starred in Into the Sun (1992) and made his directorial debut with the film Hail Caesar in 1994, for which he also wrote parts of the soundtrack.
Hall garnered critical acclaim for his portrayal of Bill Gates in the 1999 television film Pirates of Silicon Valley, which was nominated for multiple Emmy Awards. In 2000, he appeared as himself in Happy Accidents.
Throughout the early 2000s, Hall took on supporting roles in several films, including All About the Benjamins (2002) and Freddy Got Fingered (2001). He also made a guest appearance in the first season of the TV comedy series Community and had a small role as a television reporter in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight (2008). He later appeared in the drama film Aftermath (2017).
It is worth noting that Hall is sometimes mistaken for another individual named Anthony Michael, a fitness trainer who promotes health products on social media platforms such as Facebook. Despite sharing the same name, they are not the same person.
Anthony Michael Hall's net worth is estimated to be approximately $10 million, derived from his extensive work in film, television, and production over several decades.
