Anthony Michael Hall caught on video flipping out on people at hotel pool

He's bipolar, is he not?

Someone needs to make sure he stays on his meds.

Wasn’t he cute at one point? What happened to his face?

^ No never.

R1 He looks pretty good for his age

R2, oh, he sure was. For like five minutes, in 1985, when I was questioning my sexuality.

He was probably manic.

He has an assistant?

Isn't he some crazy Christian?

Reminds me of Mel Gibson. Both are good friends with Downey Jr who I thing has become some weirdo churchy too.

One of those interesting cases where a healthier weight and obvious fitness made someone look less attractive, and become less of a sociable likeable personality.

Better question is someone actually married him??

[quote]In response, Hall allegedly began spewing profanities and splashing water. He even called one guest “Rosie O’Donnell,”

Rosie is going to be pissed!

Anthony Michael Hasbeen

He was convicted of assault a few years ago after breaking his neighbor’s wrist. Scary.

He outed himself as a Trumpster when he said, “Yeah you’re so nice like the Democratic Party.”

Washed up cunt.

Anthony Michael Who?

Remember when he held up production on "The Dead zone?"

He's the godfather of Robert Downey Jr's son - yikes.

Why is he in Texas? Austin is way past it's prime.

The pressing question is, why the hell does Anthony Michael Hall need an assistant and considering his career at this point, how can he afford to pay one?

[Quote]The pressing question is, why the hell does Anthony Michael Hall need an assistant and considering his career at this point, how can he afford to pay one?

"Assistant" is a euphemism, you dingdong.

Everything I hear about him suggests that he is basically the same person as his character in Edward Scissorhands as Winona Ryder's shitbag boyfriend.

roid rage and bi-polar disorder are not a good combination. I hope he gets help.

Euphemism for what? Escort?

[quote]For like five minutes, in 1985, when I was questioning my sexuality.

Oh honey, you questioned your sexuality? That's so sweet.

None of the rest of us did.

Anthony Michael Hal(do)l...

[quote]The pressing question is, why the hell does Anthony Michael Hall need an assistant and considering his career at this point, how can he afford to pay one?

Maybe his good friend RDJ pays for the assistant to make sure AMH takes his lithium and stays off the booze.

Isn't he a big time Trump supporter? He looks like one. He has a Trump supporters face to me. It looks kinda angry.

What an insincere apology.

R27 See R14.

He’s still angry that Terry Serpico stole his career!

I thought he was hot on weird science

Wasn't he *this* close to go to prison for several years, because he assaulted his neighbor?

That guy has pathological anger management issues.

Seeing press video and photos, I remember him behaving in a really strange passive-aggressive way at the MTV reunion of THE BREAKFAST CLUB cast, years ago.

He didn’t make eye contact with anyone, but stared around the room unblinking. His body language was so tense and overbearing, like he was gritting his jaw hard enough to shatter. He didn’t smile once. He barely touched anyone or reciprocated hugs and the like, but after a few drinks he kept wrapping his arm around Molly & Ally in this way that looked like a chokehold. It was very unsettling.

If he does have a hard time controlling a mental illness, then I do pity him and think it’s a shame, because he was a smart likeable and talented teenager. If he did this to himself through drug/steroid use, then I have no sympathy whatsoever.

I wonder if he was abused by anyone in the so called pedo network in Hollywood. Is that why he’s so pissed all the time?It’s speculation on my part I acknowledge that. It wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Looking at OP's pic, he kind of looks like he could play Trump.

[quote]When asked to tone it down, he began yelling and cursing, saying the others were being “disrespectful” and referring to one person as “Rosie O’Donnell.”

Well that's just cruel.

The hotel patrons should've taped his buttcheeks together.

Pity. He gave one of my all-time favourite biopic performances, as Bill Gates in PIRATES OF SILICON VALLEY. He’s really excellent in it, nailing the BG persona and riveting in a chilly yet pathetic sort of way.

Noah Wylie gives an interesting turn as Jobs, too, more emotionally arresting than Ashton Kutcher. It’s an underrated movie.

Mel Gibson and RDJ are excellent actors too, both are bat shit crazy and bi-polar.

Why did Ringwald break up with him, by the by? Neither has ever given a reason, afaik, and I’m not reading Molly’s books or listening to her talk for hours on a podcast just to satisfy a mundane curiosity.

They only dated for a year or so at highschool age, so it’s likely a boring story of incompatibility and growing up apart like all teen breakups, but who really knows? Maybe he was showing glimpses of this reported dark underbelly as young as age 18, and Molly saw the red flags and wisely bailed (or was advised to bail)? They were close at teens, but aren’t friendly with one another anymore as older people, so something like that would check out.

They were adorable kids, and seemed happy in their cute little relationship.

What is it with American actors getting away with assaults on civilians.

You’ve got Mark Wahlberg & Shia Laboeuf wandering around unchecked, as well.

[quote] blasting music out of his own speakers, disrupting other guests

I haven't played music outside at the pool, beach, etc. for years, and I'm Gen X too, like AMH.

The only time I see anyone boomboxing it anymore are either 1) Riding a bike and out of earshot in under a minute, or 2) Asshole teenagers on public transportation dying for someone to complain so they can fight.

AMH cearly has some aggression issues.

R40, that era is before my time, but Molly R. looked like too much woman for AMH. He looks more like her nerdy little brother.

[quote]“As a result of a misunderstanding and miscommunication between myself and some hotel guests,

What misunderstanding would that be?

About their lunches and whether the four food groups were represented, Rose.

He is hotter now than in his twinkhood.

Well, he better smarten up and adjust his attitude because he's in the new Halloween movie and I'm sure they don't want this publicity. It doesn't come out until next year but they could Christopher Plummer him if it keeps up...

One could say...it is totally impossible for him to get happy.

Wasn't it really some bullshit that Brian wasn't a possibility to get either girl in THE BREAKFAST CLUB? Maybe he's still mad about that.

While my ideal version of that movie has Claire & Alison driving off to be together and paying all three of the boys dirt, if it had to be a hetero-fest with designated couples then I think Brian should have ended up with either Claire or Alison. Giving the awkward passive virginal 'Brain' a shot at finding love or sexual companionship would have been a surprising twist and would have strengthened the ending resolution - the message that cliques stay cliques, and there is no true ascension up the social ladder for the pariahs so they need to stick together (Brian/Alison), or; a true crossing of social boundaries is something so rare and powerful, that when it happens it goes beyond the consideration of external factors such as family or friends and the superficiality of teenaged egotism (Brian/Claire).

Molly Ringwald unsuccessfully petitioned and pressured Hughes to change the final script for Claire to end up with Brian and not Bender, likely because she was dating AMH at the time and she didn't get on well with Judd Nelson. If you watch the movie very closely and pay attention to things like where the characters stand in certain scenes and how they position their bodies in spite of what they are saying and doing, you can discern that the on-screen couple chemistry is actually better and more natural between Molly & AMH (obviously), and that at certain points during the shoot Hughes may have been considering Ringwald's idea. This comes across strongly in the dialogue scenes in which Brian confronts Claire about her vanity, and later when Claire talks Brian into writing their individual assignments on his own - in both there is a gentle undertone of mystified attraction and appreciation for the other's inner self.

Have to admit AMH played the character Brian with remarkable nuance and sensitivity. The moment when he clocks a made-over Alison and gapes in confusion before breaking into a brilliant reassuring smile is my favourite interaction in the entire film.

It's amazing how different he looks from Edward Scissorhands onwards to the little nerd he was in the John Hughes movies.

Remember when he tried to have a music career?

He made Corey Feldman look like Beethoven by comparison.

I'll never forget him being interviewed on a morning drive-time radio show in L.A.

The DJ was trying to ask him about "Sixteen Candles" and "The Breakfast Club" and he ONLY wanted to talk about his so-called "music career".

I'll never forget he said this, in all seriousness:

"I spent the first part of my career making people laugh. I'm gonna spend the next part of my career making people dance."

R51 wtf? That is the best worst thing I've witnessed in a long time.

For me the song buffered before the video, and on first listen I thought it was an awful unfinished roughcut demo by Simply Red or Terrence Trent d'Arby playing. This would have been tolerable. Then I saw Anthony dressed...like that and doing....I can't even describe it. At least the husky drummer with the shakers and bucket hat is feeling it ;/

Anthony has the Feldog beat for sound, but Corey still smokes him for performance and energy and commitment to the Bit.

Bipolar and sued before.

A case before The Supreme Court of British Columbia involves actor Anthony Michael Hall’s failure to disclose his bipolar disorder, which resulted in production of The Dead Zone being shuttered from May to August, 2001. The insurance company that posted the completion bond for the production company is attempting to recoup the $612,000 they paid the production company.

I cannot find a resolution. But it appears he is not managing it.

My first thought was how this might effect the new Halloween movie. It's been completed and was supposed to come out next month, but COVID got in the way. Guess they have a year to get him into shape before the inevitable press junkets. With the way everything's going, this story will be forgotten in a week.

Is there any reason the 1980s produced more criminal ex-child stars than any other decade?

Shallow greed, R56.

The real reason Halloween Kills was delayed until 2021. Gives plenty of time for this to die down.

He needs to see his doctor and get his meds readjusted, stat.

Here he is at the hotel

Trivia: he was among the first choices offered the role of Duckie in PRETTY IN PINK and the role of Cameron in FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF. He turned both down flat and right off the bat, for fear of being typecast. I can see his point, though he would have been credible in either part and could have given these insipid characters a bit more of a manic and robust edge (especially Duckie). As for his original star-making role in SIXTEEN CANDLES, he was almost edged out of it by Jim Carrey in the final casting stages.

Conversely, he tanked the audition for Ponyboy in THE OUTSIDERS (thank Heavens, he would have eaten poor sweet Ralph Macchio for breakfast), and despite winning the part of Pvt. Joker in FULL METAL JACKET was replaced for some mysterious reason by Matthew Modine.

Molly Ringwald dated that little weenie?

Indeed she did, R62.

They were both the only teen actors in Breakfast Club (Nelson was 25, Sheedy & Estevez about College sophomore age), and also the only two who had worked together before and knew one another well, so it was probably the only natural thing that they became close and then a couple. No-one has ever given an exact timeline for their relationship, but it would seem they dated for at least a year or two from 1985.

They are still in touch. Molly gave this quote to TIME about four or five years ago:

[quote] (on whether the OG Brat Pack still keep in touch) You know, we run into each other every so often, usually at an event for The Breakfast Club. I’ve seen Michael [Anthony Michael Hall] the most and have stayed in contact with him. The only one I haven’t really seen is Emilio; I don’t think I’ve seen him in years.

Strangely, there are certain photos and a couple of televised interviews that Molly & Mike did together when they were dating that have recently been scrubbed from the internet or perhaps even copyright-struck. Just now I went looking for one in particular to link here - the one that the GIF below is taken from, iirc a sit-down with Arsenio c.1986? - but couldn't find it up anywhere anymore. It was definitely uploaded somewhere just a couple of years back.

[quote]He's bipolar, is he not?

Yes, so he must be forgiven for his behavior.

[quote]and ask for forgiveness from anyone who I may have offended.”

And like the liberal, he denies he DID offend anyone, but uses MAY instead.

All I can think of reading this story is the ominous Star Warsy cue that plays when Ted Farmer foists himself upon Samantha in 16 Candles.

Do people hear that when Anthony approaches them?

just looked up his astrology and yIKeS. No wonder she's a mess.

He's got a Fire-dominant natal chart, with two Yods. Aries Stellium led by Sun-Saturn in conjunct and including Chiron. Moon in wide conjunct with Neptune in Scorpio. Retrograde outers, including natal Jupiter in Leo afflicted by a square aspect Neptune. Saturn conjunct the North Node. Moon opposite Mars. I hope at the least he regularly attends Anger Management and does plenty of calming meditations and exercise.

The best I can say is that his natal Venus & Mars are in mutual reception, but even that isn't an easy or productive combination.

[quote] If his Mars is in Aries and his Venus is in Taurus, he will go after what and who he wants in a direct way, but once he gets into bed he may be surprisingly earthy and sensual, with a liking for being the submissive partner. Once we get what we want through Mars, the way we enjoy it may be utterly Venusian. This depends on how strong the relative planets are, and how in touch we are with both our masculine and feminine sides.

At least we can see why Molly liked fucking him - she happens to have a very visible domicile Mars in Aries on the MC with Chiron. She probably topped him and smacked him around a lot.

could he be gay? subconscious anger like that has to come from somewhere...

[quote]He made Corey Feldman look like Beethoven by comparison.

Don't do Anthony Michael Hall like that. He can carry a tune, unlike Felddog. Just listen to his tribute to Corey Haim and try not to stab sharpened pencils into your ears.

I actually remember that song because it's from a movie of his. RDJ has a small role in it as a music producer; surely as a favor to him.

Can we do a deal with the Devil, and send Feldog and AMH to Hell in exchange for bringing Haim back?

R62 Mike is one of the least insane of Molly's previous loverboys. She married an obscure high-culture French writer, was with Dweezil Zappa during the filming of PRETTY IN PINK, and prior to that had dated Ad-Rock of The Beastie Boys and Kennedy Jnr. That is a hell of a resume.

Michael seems hard to cast. Thinking about it, I don’t know what kind of current project he could possibly suit or fit into. His energy is too weird, and though he has acting talent it isn’t enough to overcome that.

He's in the new Halloween as grown up Tommy Doyle who gets angry and starts a vengeful mob to kill Michael Myers. Gotta say that, after seeing this video, that's pretty good casting. He seems like someone who'd be the leader of an angry mob.

Can someone translate r66 for me?

I can’t believe that people upvote this 💩,song of his on YouTube.

It's amazing how he transformed from a gawky nerd in the John Hughes movies to a mean-looking bully in Edward Scissorhands. Unfortunately it seems like he got stuck in that mean guy phase.

She got old.

How in the hell did he get that role in Halloween? It was originally played by Paul Rudd. I know Paul was busy doing Ghostbusters so he wasn't available. But no one else was available?

R77 ACTUALLY, it was originally played by Brian Andrews!!

The new Halloween movies are ignoring all the previous films aside from Halloween I & II.

They can't have Paul Rudd in it, then they'd have to acknowledge the dreadful THORN storyline. It's for the best.

Apparently, his background is his mother was a jazz singer and his dad was an auto shop owner who divorced when he was still an infant. He was born in Roxbury, Boston but raised in Manhattan. He got his start acting in commercials at age seven and got his big break in National Lampoon's Vacation in 1983. That scene in Weird Science where he is doing a Richard Pryor impression around a bunch of black guys was on point which shows his familiarity with black culture because of his mother's career in jazz and blues. He was also the youngest cast member to date on SNL at age 17. He was going to play Jim Carroll in The Basketball Diaries had it been made in the 1980s and he would have definitely pulled it off and his career could have gone very differently if the film was good. He's a blue-collar NY Irish Catholic guy at heart.

Prolonged steroid use/abuse makes you both ugly and angry.

That's really all you need to know about this train wreck.
