You're just forgetting that whole experience? I feel very fortunate to have been able to do those films. It gave me the tools I needed to be where I am.
Some people party every night, but years ago I figured out that people who are getting ahead are getting it done before 6 p. View agent, publicist, legal and company contact details on IMDbPro.

The following year after Vacation hit theaters, Hall would play Farmer Ted in the 80s classic, Sixteen Candles , marking yet another huge achievement for the young actor. The next year, in , Hall would appear in both The Breakfast Club and in Weird Science , both of which are considered classics of the decade. Since then, Hall has remained active and has been in far more projects than most people realize.
As the 90s rolled around, Hall was able to move onto other projects that allowed him to play more than just a dorky character. One of his most notable roles during the decade was in when he played Jim in Edward Scissorhands. Hall would make more film appearances in the 90s, though things were much slower than they were in the decade prior.
This continued into the early part of the s, with movies like All About the Benjamins and Freddy Got Fingered being highlights. Is he a good guy in your eyes? I totally think so.
A lot has been said about this mob mentality in the film and the fact that with all the societal issues that have happened in the past few years since this movie was made, it's almost like life is imitating art. Is it different watching it now compared to when you made it due to the world being so crazy since then? The riot in the hospital has this feel of the Capitol riots. Honestly, I love what you said. I did none of that. So I did get the blessing from one past Tommy Doyle.

Loading Something is loading. Email address. But those nuances were often found during the making of it. If you were in a situation that was remotely similar to this movie, would you grab the bat of the wall like Tommy, or would you be booking it out of town like most people? So I feel like a lot of that fight is naturally just sort of in me, I have to admit. I have a lot of that sort of natural fight without manifesting it into fighting.
So I have a lot of that in me, and that was easy to draw upon. And really, my focus was just creating a strong opposition to Myers. So something that I worked with is that idea that in the context of this film franchise, people are always rooting for the villain. They just want to see Myers do his thing. So I felt my task, as an actor, was to really just create that opposition for good. I tried to be as much of a heroic force as I could be on behalf of my neighbors, the townspeople and everybody else.
Brian the bartender [Brian Mays Sr. So he does this kind of Fellini-esque type of casting where he also hires nonactors to fulfill roles. He is just fluid and allows those things to happen, and in some cases, he plans them.
So not only are we reintroducing original core characters, but he makes space for these other characters as well. He just did a brilliant job with the film. I really do. I thought it was quite poetic how Tommy vowed to protect Laurie the same way she protected him 40 years earlier. Was that a great day with Jamie Lee as you reunited your characters? Yeah, that was a lot of fun. I had seen her one day prior to that. And just the way the schedule worked, Jamie Lee started about a week and a half into the production.
So we had already done a bunch of scenes, and I felt really good about it. And then one day, we were standing outside of the Haddonfield hospital that we doubled in Wilmington, and all of a sudden, these two bloodied hands were shaking and waving in my face. And through the fingers, I could see it was Jamie Lee. Jamie Lee has a wonderful energy about her. She really is. So she was a great boss to work for and a great actress to work with.
And that first scene in the hospital was actually our first scene together. So we just dove in, and I just kind of revved myself up. I understood the stakes as I was entering the scene and what I had to relay to her as you mentioned. So the big brawl at the end was portrayed in a rather intimate way. It looked like you shot some of it with a group of people on an actual street, but there also seemed to be inserts of you alone on a dark stage.
Well, you nailed it. You have a great eye. When the whole community rolls up, we shot it at night on the street in the town we were doubling. Our great stunt team of men and women pulled up in the pickup trucks, and it was very much orchestrated and worked out. So we had a good time shooting it. We did shift to the stage for the final climactic scenes. What was interesting about that was that they built a huge kind of Lazy Susan. It was a circular rotating element on the stage, and that allowed us to move in a circle around the camera.
So we were circling around, almost like a carousel to the camera, and that allowed us to get all of these great, super tight images during the climax of the fight. So yeah, we did it on the day with the stunt team, and then the other stuff became one-on-ones with myself and Myers, who was played by James Jude Courtney.
Well, maybe I should be a little coy about that. How has your relationship to your John Hughes movies changed over the years? Basically, that gets into his life before becoming an iconic writer-director in Hollywood. He was living in Chicago. He was writing copy for advertising agencies. I remember him telling me this, too, but he would send in stories to Matty Simmons, who was the founder of National Lampoon magazine. I got to work for them and they really kind of broke me into the business in large part.
But my experience with John was awesome. What I can tell you about him is that he loved to laugh.
