Anthony Michael Hall Wiki Biography
- Michael Anthony Hall, who was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the USA on April 14, 1968, of Irish and Italian descent, is a famous actor, producer and director, who transposed his Christian names to avoid confusion with an actor of the same name.
- Renowned for his many teen-oriented films, director/producer John Hughes acknowledged Anthony’s work in the role of ‘Rusty Griswold’ from ‘National Lampoon’s Holiday‘ back in 1984, and then Hughes cast him in his directorial debut ‘Sixteen Candles’ in which Anthony played the role of ‘Farmer Ted.’
- There was nothing that could deter him from achieving heights with the encouragement and appreciation of such great mentors from the industry.
- Sources say that the net worth of Michael is estimated to be $10 million, accrued in the film industry over a career spanning almost 40 years.
- Anthony’s mother, the only child of jazz singer Mercedes, was a single parent and worked as a featured singer.
- Hall and his mother eventually moved to California and then to New York City, where he spent his years growing up.
- He studied at St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s and then at the Children’s Career School of Manhattan.
- He claims to be an enthusiastic reader in the course of educating himself, despite the fact that Hall never attended college!
- In his life story ‘The Wake’ in 1977, he debuted as the young Steve Allen on stage.
- Then Anthony, still a 13-year-old, gave such a performance in ‘National Lampoon’s Holiday’ that the film was a box office success that won a whopping $61 million in revenue at the US box office!
- Later in 1985, in two of Hughes’ films, Anthony appeared, playing ‘Brian Johnson’ in the movie ‘The Breakfast Club’ and ‘Gary Wallace’ in ‘Weird Science.’
- At the age of 17, he was represented as a member of ‘Saturday Night Life’ and was thus named the youngest member to be cast in SNL to date.
- Overall, Anthony Michael Hall has been involved in almost 50 movies and over 20 TV productions in at least one role.
- In addition, Hall was a songwriter as well as a lead singer in his band ‘Hall of Mirrors’ that he formed in 1998, carrying forward his family tradition of singing.
- In collaboration with Gilby Clarke, a former guitarist from the band ‘Guns N’ Roses ‘, the band soon released an album called’ Welcome to the Hall of Mirrors ‘.
- One may wonder why, given his good career, Anthony’s net worth is not somewhat higher.
- One explanation may be past alcohol issues, which led Anthony to have a hiatus of several years.
- These are clearly past issues, though, because while he’s never married, he’s reportedly supposed to be dating Fiona Forbes, a Canadian TV personality.

Anthony Michael Hall Quotes
- [2003] I don’t really do the Hollywood party thing. Some people party every night, but years ago I figured out that people who are getting ahead are getting it done before 6 p.m.
- I grew up in the public eye. I can’t hide from that. I always embrace the work I’ve done before. I wouldn’t be where I am now if it wasn’t for those movies. I’m always baffled by actors who are like, ‘I’m not going to talk about the ’80s.’ What? You’re just forgetting that whole experience? I feel very fortunate to have been able to do those films. It gave me the tools I needed to be where I am.
- I don’t want to go away as an actor.
- [on Tom Green’s directorial style with Freddy Got Fingered (2001)] Off-camera, he’s very quiet. He’d often be walking around quietly, twirling his hair while thinking about his next shot. I think the guy’s a genius. I think the guy’s a social hypnotist. I think he’s incredible. He’s on to something big-time and it’s not just stand-up comedy. If this doesn’t make $100 million, something’s wrong. I smell a sequel.
- Everyone deserves the opportunity to succeed.
- [on why he chose the character Johnny Smith, in The Dead Zone (2002)) Playing a character that develops from within was very attractive to me. In playing this part, it is challenging to find the mind, body, and spirit for the role of John Smith. I do watch Star Trek (1966) episodes a lot more closely now!
- [on working in all three mediums] Movies and TV are both incredibly gratifying. I treat the work the same. Music, specifically songwriting and music production, are very gratifying as well.
- [on why he never went to college] I’ve been a working actor since age eight. It became my craft and career by high school. I did not go to college, but I’m an avid reader in the ongoing process of educating myself.
- [on what he would do if he had to spend a million dollars on someone other than himself] Donate a portion to reputable children’s and animal charities, donate a portion to churches and homeless organizations.
