I wrote John Hughes a fan letter around 1989 or '90. A week or two later, I received a package from him. He sent me 3 t shirts (Home Alone, Uncle Buck, and Hughes Entertainment), 2 painters caps (one Uncle Buck and one Hughes Entertainment) and 3 buttons like kids would put on denim jackets around that time. There was a typed letter on Hughes Entertainment stationary that said something like, "Thanks for the kind letter. I hope you enjoy the enclosed." It wasn't signed. Ultra cool. I still have the letter.

[@HavendaleBlvd80]

Thanks for sharing. Incredible story. The man was entirely dedicated to his craft, clearly.

[@CalicoCooperFan]

@@BMFstudiosNYC I've thought about that possibility. I didnt mail it to the studio. I mailed it to Hughes Entertainment based out of the Chicago suburbs. Even if, he himself, didnt package it and a secretary did it, it was still a nice gesture. I can't believe Hughes Entertainment would have had a huge staff. Maybe him and an admin? I'm sure every kid that sent a fan letter didnt get 3 t shirts, two hats, and three buttons from him. Maybe he didnt do anything more than tell his admin to mail those things to me. I still treasure it.

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

He was definitely the best actor in the whole group. All of his characters were completely different from each other. Plus he could switch between comedy and drama so effortlessly. He held his own as a straight-man up against Chevy Chase. AMH was a natural at such a young age.

Honestly couldn't imagine Anthony Michael Hall as the lead Ferris Bueller (possibly Cameron Frye?) Anthony always had that adorable dorkiness about him back in the 80s, Matthew Broderick however had that cheeky look to play an entitled cocky teenager that honestly had a bit of a face on him you'd just wanna slap. All that being said I love, LOVE Ferris Bueller's Day Off and it's final casting choices!

[@mirozen_]

I was with you at first totally... Then I started to play it through my mind some... Jeez, it would have been really different, but I think Anthony could have pulled it off pretty impressively! I can really see him doing the 4th wall breaking scenes and totally hooking the audience in. Matthew Broderick IS Ferris... but I think Anthony Michael Hall would have pulled it off well! Edit: Lol! Would have helped if I'd started off specifying Ferris Bueller! ;-)

[@hd-xc2lz]

@@mirozen_ Yeah, I love the idea of AMH playing Ferris. Probably would have played him younger, so slightly more obnoxious, and thus his sister's intense dislike might have made more sense.

People like John Hughes are the ones that make work and life more enjoyable. Even CEO's and owners of large companies that listen to their employees and allow them to speak their minds or do their own thing creates magic. The best job I ever had is a great example. My boss gave me the freedom to build relationships with co workers and it resulted in awards and recognition. We were #1 in our company in results and it's because this guy had the genius to see the talent of his employees and give them a long enough leash to do their own thing

My only issues with the movies from John Hughes was the very glaring lack of diversity in pretty much all of them( and no, I'm not counting Long Duk Dong from Sixteen Candles because he was basically a racial stereotype and a buffoon, sorry but he was- he was basically treated as a joke throughout the entire movie). BUT having said that, I do think that John Hughes was like Woody Allen, David Lynch and Martin Scorsese in that he wrote about what he knew- and that can't really be held against him.

Inside Of You has become my favorite actors podcast

[@robinkesterlives]

Me too. I feel very chill, like I'm with friends who would sit and talk this way with me too.

[@disf5178]

Really? All I saw was this dbag cutting off AMHall trying to answer over and over again.

[@madamhummingbird]

Sixteen Candles. Such an amazing film. Anthony Michael Hall's character my fav.

[@lucindabreeding]

He was so believable in John Hughes' movies. Sixteen Candles was so funny and so sad and Michael Anthony Hall was so good, so vulnerable.

[@teryenu]

I love that I've never heard of a John Hughes controversy. He made the movies that defined a lot of Gen X and we all remember him with a great deal of love. We were not a generation that paid attention to things like who the director was but we all loved his movies just the same.

[@jamespohl-md2eq]

Lolwut. Everyone paid attention to directors.

[@floydmills8963]

I watched the Dead Zone show strictly because I knew Anthony was going to be in it. He is just one of those actors that when he's in it, you know it's gonna be good. Everything from Family Vacation to Halloween Kills, if he's in it you can bet it'll be good.

@3:05 All I heard was, "So many people, so many parties." My fellow Weird Science fans will know what I'm talking about.

[@horrorstew3577]

My favourite Anthony Michael Hall moment in any movie...... National Lampoon's Vacation..... "Y'know Rusty, when I was about your age my dad shared a beer with me and I thought it was the greatest thing in the world" ...... Lol... ❤️ That movie

[@notsure1135]

The bit where he is asked “did ya ever bop your baloney?” That awkward look on his face was spot on…

[@horrorstew3577]

@@notsure1135 😂 might be the funniest movie of all time

[@notsure1135]

@@horrorstew3577 a comedy of errors in every scene. Probably the best comedy movie ever written.

Got to meet AMH at days of the dead horror convention and he was a blast, enthusiastic about fan’s questions and genuine, got to ask him about Working with Bill Paxton on weird science and he said it had been a long time ago but had fond memories of working with him and it made me smile!

[@budeah69]

*Wish he would star in a new Vacation (sorry Ed Helms)*

[@iunderstanphotography2780]

John Hughes movies were a mirror to my high school life, seemed like my classmates and now i can look back and remember how it was and how i felt in 9-10th grade. Glad Anthony Micheal Hall had such a carer and rebirth. it was a long time before I knew it was him in the dead Zone

[@steelbat54]

So weird to see him all grownup and middle aged. I always picture him as that smart ass kid. So funny. Yeah, Weird Science! Kelly Lebrock..😍 and “Chet”..🤣 Always liked him... 👍

[@gastondoumerc7863]

I read he ad-libbed that line in the Breakfast Club about why he had a fake ID… “So I can vote!”

[@geeked-outturtlesfan4288]

I loved him on so many films. Weird Science, The Breakfast club and of course the TV series of The Dead Zone

[@azurelad236]

The morning scene of AMH making the martinis for Jake the jock was so funny.😄

[@dallasdandigitalproduction393]

AMH is a great actor. Very intense in Halloween Kills . I miss John Hughes, RIP

[@reneemariehighsmith5463]

Let Anthony Michael Hall speak freely, it's very disrespectful to continually cut someone off

[@billsimms2511]

Hughes wanted to make a sequel to the Breakfast Club? Damn it’s a shame we never got that - it would have been amazing

[@kroon275]

Nooooooo wayyyyyyyy. Glad it didnt happen

[@bootlegpass5969]

AMH seems so grateful and humble. I love so much of his work. Pirates of Silicon Valley will be forever underrated.

[@CallsignEskimo-l3o]

John Cusack should still be sending him Christmas cards.

[@loymichelleneely7525]

I have followed sir Anthony Michael Halls carrer for the last 40 yes of my so called life and he is so super intelligent and entertaining 🎉 thank you for your time and energy and for using it to entertain us all these yrs!!♡♡

[@mdraper8180]

Anthony Michael Hall in Sixteen Candles is one of the best performances of all time. I could (and have) watched that movie more times than I can count and it never gets old.

[@xTheFly]

Literally my favorite parts in the movies are Anthony Michael Hall going off. Incredible!

[@randlemcmurphy4594]

Let him answer a question!

[@lavenderkisses9461]

I love seeing him now and seeing his mannerisms I remember come out ❤️ loved him in everything he did!

[@jesserapkin2660]

Turning 45 this year and I think more than any other actor whose movies I’ve thoroughly enjoyed, this is the one dude that I can’t see as an adult. Something in my brain just can’t square it away. It’s odd….I can only see this dude as the kid from Breakfast Club. This can’t be the same kid. Not possible 🤣

[@Doomthulsa]

These interviews are such gems!

[@donniemoder1466]

This guy is still so very talented.
