Anthony Michael Hall (born April 14, 1968 in Boston, Massachusetts) is a U.S. movie actor who became famous playing a nerd in several successful, teenage Brat Pack films of the 1980s.

Fallowing his early profits at swimming the geek (''National Lampoon's Vacation, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science), Hall avoided playing similar roles to escape the nerdy typecast.

He appeared as a regular in Saturday Night Live'' at a age of 17, the immature cast member ever. When the string of gonzo behavior, the tour within rehabilitation for alcoholism, and late pubescence, the far extra athletic Hall appeared inside Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands (1990), this time swimming a section of the villain.

Hall starred within Hail Caesar, the film all about the would-manque rock star world health organization works inside a pencil eraser mill, which Hall too directed. Hall continues to pop up regularly around major films around the kind of roles like Bill Gates in Pirates of Silicon Valley and baseball player Whitey Ford in 61*. He too stars in The Dead Zone, a television series according to a Stephen King novel.

Hall writes & sings for his band, Hall of Mirrors.
