He began his acting career on Broadway in the revival of Cabaret and appeared in a variety of shows in the mid- to late 1990s. His father died of prostate cancer in 1982 at the age of 39 when Hall was 11 years old. In a 2004 interview, Hall stated of his father’s death: \”Certainly, for a young boy, there’s no good age, but I think I was on the cusp of a time in my life where I was starting to reach puberty, to relate to my father. To have him… Something gets frozen. As you revisit it for the rest of your life, it’s sort of this slow but hopefully sure crawling out of that frozen moment.
” Hall’s professional acting career began in the theater. He appeared in Macbeth and Cymbeline at the New York Shakespeare Festival, and in Timon of Athens and Henry V at The Public Theater, The English Teachers at the Manhattan Class Company, and the controversial play Corpus Christi.
