Anthony Michael Hall -- First ballot Gen-X Hall of Fame.

[@kalnyc1]

1000000000%

[@kamuelalee]

Yes, a Gen-X Prince for sure

[@elbob17]

Good call.

[@sherineill6630]

Absolutely

[@mathieuduval7544]

He's definitely in the top 10 of legends of the entertainment from the 80s and 90s

[@randcanape683]

I love this interview. I'm 55. Cmon, the 80s were great.

[@lancemanyon7645]

I am 53 and he was in almost all of my favorite 80’s movies. Some of my buddies and I still quite some of those John Hughes movies much to our wives dismay

[@howardb.6205]

Yep, 52

[@matthewcalabria2442]

I’m 48 and quote all of the mentioned movies. 80’s were the best times for movies, music and television…at least for me anyway.

[@kamuelalee]

55 too. It the Last Great Decade for pop culture. Nothing compares since.

[@jkatsieris1]

Preach.

[@SirVic42]

Talk about name dropping. This dude's memoir will be epic.

[@johnobrien5037]

No doubt. Talk about breaking out at the right time. And hanging out with Tyson...much of that experience was most likely R to X rated and not to be mentioned on air. Lol

[@goodjohnhunting]

Man, no doubt! I was just thinking he needs to get writing one.

[@shaycoiee]

He was too wasted to remember anything

[@RichV20]

90% of the book would be 1982-88

[@enriquebruzual1702]

We don't see enough of Anthony Hall, I love to see him in a comedy again.

[@bribriboy]

Absolutely.

[@brettsodrel6456]

Love him too...if I'm being honest I really only started scrolling the comments to see how far I'd have to go before people were calling for his head after his Eddie Murphy "Capricorn" impersonation"... P.S. .might want to hold any/ all comments til the end cuz any of you who are thinking of how you Can take my comment and twist it into your f#@k3d up worldview so I'd rather not be someone who's ideas you shoehorn shoehorn into whatever it is that makes your 🧠 work...see so many people pretend they are voting with their brain and the knowledge they have regarding the candidates but we alll know that's not true(for most ar Ieast)... I dont hate or look down on Trump supporters...I just think they put trust in the wronell I'm from Indianapolis...so I half my family are Trump supporters(who an I kidding closer to 80%) As I mentioned I'm from Indianapolis but moved to Miami when I was young so I basically grew up down there... went to l k-12...met my first true love and so on...then stayed to go ok UF in Gainesville.oountvus I've lived with and around tons of different types of people... Look they're are crazies in both the far-left and the far-right...if we start admitting that maybe we'd actually get some bipartisan legislature passed that can help this country... See the key is admitting something is a good it bad idea based on the idea itself and not who it came from... I'd bet dollars to donuts that if I write a list of quotes or bills or ideas or whatever and asked what 10,000 random people thought...if I told them Trump said it they'd absolutely agree.andvifvi said it was Biden or Hillary or Obama said that exact sa.e quote...then they'd think the devil himself planted the seed for that idea ti destroye the world... My point is...just be fucking honest... Mybw whole life I've leaned left on most social issues...however I have absolutely no problem telling friends even(hell especially)very left leaning friends how ridiculous things have gotten on the far left abdctge problem is it's painting the majority of the left,which I truly believe are pretty average Americans... I mean as I said I've always supported whatever grown folks want to to with their lives- whether it be who they marry or anything else...however when I (and many others)get called bigots because we want to even have a conversation before allowing kids to take puberty blockers- or hormones or having operations at ages I don't think are old enough to make- let alone the lifelong consequences... No I'm not some Matt Walsh type running around asking "What is a woman"? But I also don't think you're going vying get less pushback if you're going around acting like Woman is a dirty word and that you can snap your fingers like" were gonna call it a birthing person now"..".oh and if you even question if it's fair for a person born a male to compete against a person born a female in sports then you're a transphobe...full stop. I could go on...point being im happy to admit the lunacy on my side...Trump supporters are not...thats the scary part... You can show them in. Black and white, on video, writteninhis own social media account...doesn't matter...oh that's fake news... Ok I gotta so before this gets too depressing

I totally agree… Met him at a museum in nyc and was a truly nice person

"She's into Malakas, Dino" - funniest scene of the 1980's. Hall was genius at such a young age.

[@FoghornKenhorn]

Oh come on. Weird Science isn’t even that good of a movie let alone to say that scene is the best scene of any 80s movie. You need your head examined!

[@sweetrobertos]

I don't know, the scene shortly after that when the guy asks him if the girl called him on the telephone was pretty epic.

[@rasserfrasser]

@@sweetrobertos It's the same scene, it's absolutely epic. not to mention it was Bill Paxton's first appearance in a movie as "Chet" ...not that good a movie...? okay...

The guy is an 80’s Icon. Up there with MJ, Madonna, Bruce, Prince etc.

Unbelievable……….The 80’s seem like they were yesterday……….Great times!

[@Gerrys-Channel]

Amen!

[@yuvgotubekidding]

Dude was in some of the most iconic movies ever.

[@Nerotique]

Sixteen Candles comes to mind.

[@luismendez3747]

He was in almost all my favorite 80s teen movies

[@jimthar17]

Problem was he got too much into his own head. That's why he didn't do Ferris Bueller or Full Metal Jacket (and probably others) He thought he was more important than he was and it kinda ruined his career for the late 80's and most of the 90's.

[@Cyborg_Auto]

​@jimthar17 yep was thinking that when he said he couldn't agree on terms with Kubrick. To work with a director like that you don't argue the terms lol..

[@timburnett4671]

I loved growing up in the 80’s great decade!!!

[@jesseortiz5938]

MTV

[@paulh6096]

Agree! Still remember seeing breakfast club at the theater. Got stuck in a front row seat and was looking up the entire time.

[@bsaul17]

Unreal. This guy has amazing stories and experiences. Very well spoken and detailed. My only problem with this segment was it wasn’t longer!

[@IPlayOneOnT.V.]

The full interview should be here in another clip and it is.

[@controlledsavage6627]

I met Michael at a modeling agency for a photo shoot. He came to me and said hi I’m Mike. I shook his hands and took a few steps and then turned around dumbfounded and said your Anthony Michael Hall with eyes wide like a deer staring into headlights and he humbly said yes. I said you have no idea what an impact you made in my life growing up as a teenager in the 80’s! He was literally one of my teenage idols and favorite actors at the time and here I am with the same photographer in my early 20’s?! Unreal moment, love this guy and what a great interview!

[@toddsalkowski448]

So refreshing to see how ultimately cool and down to earth Mr. Hall is. Fantastic guest!!

[@Imonly2andahalf]

I have to give a lot of credit to Anthony Michael Hall, he had an amazing life early on and he remembers it all with great detail. A very good storyteller. He just spits out names and places and it was all good stuff. Kept me listening!

[@RichV20]

That all happened when he was in his teens, when you have your first life experiences and you remember the details well and wistfully.

[@treeless62]

Huge fan at 62 and I introduced my young kids to the Breakfast Club. Now adults, they still list it as one of their favorite films. FYI they watch it together every few years

[@steveww07]

mine as well

[@hibbo1351]

Paul Gleason is legend. Perfect in Die Hard

[@ronleddy5131]

"DAMN MAN!" Is right!! What an amazing story!

[@michaelknapp8961]

I could listen to this guy tell stories for a year!!!! What a nice guy he is. Great stories from back in the day.

[@CinHotlanta]

That pay phone line with Paul Gleason was also one of my favorite bits from Trading Places

[@TheWardBond]

I'm so happy that Anthony seems such a cool grounded guy, he was a huge part of my childhood here in the UK, the blues club scene will never not make me laugh 😆

[@JeffCogswell]

What a great guy! So laid back and natural. And such great stories!!

[@keefriff99]

Great interview...Hall is funny as hell and tells great stories. The number of people he's met in his career is amazing.

[@Nick-ju7ld]

One of the best Celebrity T or F segments in the history of the RES. In the not quite 100 year history of the RES there have been many Celebrity T or F segments with the likes of Kevin Bacon, Jeff Daniels, David Spade, Rob Lowe and many others, this is one of the best for sure

[@lynnturman8157]

The fact that he snuck onto the set during Beverly D'Angelo's nude scene in Vacation cracks me up.

[@KeystoneCapper]

I mean who wouldn't.

[@steveww07]

smart young man

[@Labyrinth1010]

I get it.

[@monkeyb1820]

Vacation is one of the greatest films ever. AMH rocked.

[@cameron1975williams]

This guy's lived life to the max!

[@SomeDudeInTheChat]

The Farmer Ted reference… effing great!

[@donhartfield]

Incredible how well he handled being a young celebrity. Had his ups and downs, but still handled it better than many children actors.

[@swooshdave]

I bet it wasn’t as smooth as you think.

[@travisinthetrunk]

I’d love to hear a Bill Paxton story.

[@pancudowny]

There's off-set photo of him & Molly [between shoots] visiting a record store near the school "The Breakfast Club" was filmed at. It turns out to be the famous Chicagoland Rolling Stone Records store. When it popped-up on Facebook, I recognized the cutouts of music celebs in the background, and pointed it out... thereby helping to identify a forgotten & obscure piece of pop culture history.☺

[@tdz69]

Awesome interview. AMH is a cinema treasure. He’s such a HUGE part of so many childhoods and gave me so many laughs growing up in the 80s. I remember being at my cousins house and watching these movies followed by going outside and riding bikes and none of the adults cared unless you didn’t come home by dinner time. Such a great time to come up as a kid altogether.

[@mikebradt8080]

Great interview...Anthony Michael hall did a very entertaining job.

[@livelife365]

This is just as funny as when he was a kid actor. Perfect.

[@ianlassitter2397]

The 80’s were the best time for entertainment, music and life in general!

[@hectorlopez1069]

Anthony acted with paul gleason in the breakfast club and johnny be good. I would watched them a hundred times on VHS of when I was a little child.

[@RaiderX948]

How cool to be involved in those great 80's movies.

[@davewebbtheauthor]

AMH, Molly Ringwald, and Judd Nelson have formed their own clique within the Brat Pack, as all of them turned down making an appearance in Andrew McCarthy's Brats doc. Would have loved to see their take on the whole thing while talking to Andrew.

[@joshuaburba1048]

This has got to be one of the best interviews I've ever seen. For those too young to understand, we who grew up in the 80's idolized Anthony Michael Hall. I mean the kid was in EVERYTHING. I was a HUGE fan of his, and it is beyond amazing to watch him share these stories about his career. Wow! This was awesome

[@almostmade801]

Man, AMH needs to write a book. Love the stories of that time

Absolutely love Anthony Michael Hall

[@Strategory76]

Amazed by the memory details from such a young age.

[@alexistrebexis3195]

The pay phone scene in Trading Places, omg. I used to have to rewind that about 5 times if we ever watched that movie on vhs back in the day. 😂

[@hbk42581]

Anthony is terrific! I got the chance to meet him at a con years ago and he couldn't have been nicer. Just really friendly and willing to converse. We chatted it up about the Patriots because I was wearing a Pats shirt.

[@technickle55]

Beverly D’Angelo got the heavies 😍

[@Billkwando]

Those 14 minutes flew by. Wow.

[@mikemccoy3430]

"Mister, if I can't fix it, it aiint't broke"! Anthony Michael Hall as "Doc" in Six Pack. One of my all time favorite lines from a movie.

[@briangoodie3420]

Not sure why Sixpack don't get talked about as much as his other movies. Great movie, great cast as well.

I wanted to hear about Dead Zone but this was my happy place today

[@letsrevieweverything144]
