2022-06-15 04:53:06 +0000 UTCHe was so fucking funny in that 2 min scene; Jerry broke character but Mr. Hall didn't, a true pro.

2022-06-14 20:22:57 +0000 UTCGREAT Vegas flick!
Eric M. Rhein
2022-06-14 20:21:44 +0000 UTCGotta love how plain spoken they guys he played always are, especially when PTA is writing w/ him in mind. Love his work.

2022-06-14 20:21:18 +0000 UTC“I'm not a complicated man. I like cinema. In particular, I like to see people fucking on film. But, I don't want to win an Oscar and I don't want to re-invent the wheel. I like simple pleasures, like butter in my ass and lollipops in my mouth. That's just me. That's just something that I enjoy. Call me crazy, call me a pervert. But, there's one little thing that I'mg going to do in this life and that is I'm going to make a dollar and a cent in this business.” Floyd Gondolli-Boogie Nights No truer words spoken about the cinematic arts!

Seneca Garcia
2022-06-14 14:44:07 +0000 UTCThe type of actor that when I saw he was in a movie, I knew it was going to be a good one.
FlyingWaffle
2022-06-14 13:06:26 +0000 UTCI always think of him as Sherwood Morrill in Fincher’s ZODIAC. Weirdly, he’s in another movie about the Zodiac killer called THE ZODIAC from 2005 as well.
Mickey Rock
2022-06-14 12:41:28 +0000 UTCI mostly remember Hall from TV! He was good.

2022-06-14 11:30:07 +0000 UTCHi did more acting with his eyes than most actors can do with their entire bodies.

2022-06-14 00:52:38 +0000 UTChttps://youtu.be/tIZ43V-3puc My favorite scene, also a PTA movie (Boogie Nights)
Michael Reith
2022-06-14 00:42:38 +0000 UTCObviously Sydney, his other 2 Anderson films, Midnight Run, Secret Honor and of course his two episodes of Seinfeld. I think it's fair to say we've lost one of the best character actors.
Adam Fix
2022-06-14 00:33:33 +0000 UTChe had a great run and a lot of great performances but agreed with those who love Bookman. A machine gun volley of great lines delivered perfectly.

2022-06-14 00:27:27 +0000 UTCMr. Bookman will never really die.

2022-06-14 00:18:36 +0000 UTCTwo other things that have always stayed with me from Hard Eight since first seeing at 15/16 - Gwyneth Paltrow’s greatest performance & Philip Seymour Hoffman has a three-minute cameo that burns a hole in the screen. Really just fantastic performances all round - truly one of the great American film debuts from PTA.
Paul Nolan
2022-06-14 00:16:53 +0000 UTCThat diner scene in Hard 8, when you just know, this is going to be good. RIP.
Thomas Edwards
2022-06-14 00:15:55 +0000 UTCStill remember the first time I watched Hard Eight after I signed up for FilmStruck. He was captivating as Sydney. One of my favorite films to this day.
Aron Harris
2022-06-14 00:14:21 +0000 UTCGlad you chose a pic of Hard Eight - PBH in that film gives as good a cinematic performance as you’ll ever see.

2022-06-14 00:13:53 +0000 UTCFantastic actor.

MITCHELL SILVERMAN
2022-06-14 00:05:34 +0000 UTCThis one really hurts for me. I grew up on midnight run, secret honour, hard Eight, boogie nights and magnolia (yeah I was an odd cinemad kid / teenager and still am). I loved Hall in everything he did even his bad movies were great just for his scenes
