I recently got the chance to interview one of my favorite actors, Anthony Michael Hall, from films I’ve been watching my entire life, like Vacation, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, and Edward Scissorhands.
He went on to appear in other great movies like The Dark Knight, Foxcatcher, and Halloween Kills, and he starred in the fantastic series The Dead Zone, based on the book by Stephen King. He has also had story arcs on shows like Awkward., Murder in the First, Psych, The Blacklist, The Goldbergs, Bosch: Legacy, and the upcoming season of Reacher.
He still holds the title of the youngest ever cast member in Saturday Night Live history, and he is one of the hardest working actors in Hollywood. He’s as kind as he is talented, and it was a delight to interview him.
You can listen to the full interview below, in which we delve into his most iconic roles, as well as chat about his time with Christopher Nolan, his ties to the “Brat Pack,” and his upcoming roles on the show Reacher, and the film Trigger Warning, which is set to be released on Netflix this week on June 21st. Listen below, and enjoy:
