Anthony Michael Hall Says He Struggled in Career After ’80s Stardom, Relied on Vince Vaughn for Help

Despite finding success as a teen in the ‘80s, Anthony Michael Hall turned to comedian Vince Vaughn for help when he was struggling less than 10 years later.

He went on to join the cast of Saturday Night Live at just 17 years old, earning credits in films like Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Weird Science. Decades later, the actor has moved beyond his child star label, taking on more mature roles in TV shows like The Dead Zone and Bosch: Legacy, as well as films such as The Dark Knight, Foxcatcher, and Halloween Kills.
