Anthony Michael Hall faces up to seven years in prison after being charged with felony assault

He won't need to bop his baloney where he's going.

Isn't he some religious nutcase now?

Anthony Michael Hall has the AIDS you know

He won't have to worry about the butt bangers being a red haired and all.

Playa del Rey? A condo? How humiliating.

Did he hit him with a bottle of beer?

Remember that time when he raped Jake's girlfriend after she passed out?

Isn't he a hard core alcoholic?

he's bipolar supposedly

I was going to guess roid rage. I saw him in that cell phone commercial or whatever the fuck the product was and I was taken back by how "buff" he appeared after being such a scrawny kid back in his teens.

He's bipolar. I remember when he was sued for not divulging it to his show's insurance Co.

From 2001: A Canadian insurance company is suing the onetime Brat Pack nerd to recoup $612,000, claiming Hall failed to divulge a previous mental condition that caused him to miss several days of shooting on USA's The Dead Zone, the Vancouver Sun reports.

Hall was admitted to St. Paul's Hospital on May 11, 2001, suffering from "bipolar affective disorder depression with psychotic features," parlance for manic depression, according to the complaint, filed in British Columbia's Supreme Court by Chubb Insurance of Canada.

I found out long ago

It's a long way down the jailhouse road

Jailhouse ro-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oad

Jailhouse ro-o-o-o-o-o-oad!

He's slated to do a series for Robert Downey Jr's production company. Oops.

These Hollywood types see violence so casually done in the movies they're in, they seem to think you can just do it and get away with it in real life.

Real life: "guess again, motherfucker."

I think he is one of RDJ's BFF.

But, is he cut or uncut?

Obviously he took a lot of steroids, which make him have a short temper.

I think he may have anger issues.

He's been that beefed up for years...i remember being surprised when he came out with that series on USA "The Dead Zone." He was actually kind of cute back then. Now his face looks very aged (of course!), but pretty rough - like he never used enough sunscreen.

8 years for shoving some prissy asshole neighbor?

Is he really getting 8 years? How much was the neighbor hurt?

is that a canadian law described at r11? Actors have to tell the producers of their prior mental conditions?

I think that type of disclosure is typical for insurance purposes for a film or series. If production goes down because one of the talent has an episode there needs to be the proper type of insurance coverage in place to cover the production losses.

During his 15 minutes of hotness.

remember years ago when he got fired from Full Metal Jacket?

What happened there?

Ha, r25 - never heard about that.

Why is bipolar so (seemingly) common amongst actors and celebrities? Or... is it? Do people with bipolar gravitate towards public performing? (Carrie Fisher, for example, is back in the news this week with her new book, and was/is bipolar)

I think instead of sentencing him to prison they should read him to FILTH.

No way he gets a sentence like that. It was just a shove.

Hall seems like his own worst enemy. He turned down Duckie in Pretty in Pink and Cameron in Ferris Bueller which were both written for him thus alienating John Hughes. then apparenlty turned down Full Metal Jacket because of money. Or perhaps he was fired and just denies it.

from wikipedia:

To avoid being typecast, Hall turned down roles written for him by John Hughes in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Cameron Frye) and Pretty in Pink (Phil "Duckie" Dale), both in 1986.[12][24] Instead, he starred in the 1986 film Out of Bounds, Hall's first excursion into the thriller and action genre. The film grossed only US$5 million domestically, and was a critical and financial disappointment.[25] Critic Roger Ebert described Out of Bounds as "an explosion at the cliché factory,"[26] and Caryn James from the New York Times claimed that not even "Hall, who made nerds seem lovable in John Hughes' Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club, [could] do much to reconcile" the disparate themes of the movie.[27]

Hall was offered the starring role in the 1987 film Full Metal Jacket in a conversation with Stanley Kubrick, but after an eight-month negotiation, a financial agreement could not be reached.[23] "It was a difficult decision, because in that eight-month period, I read everything I could about the guy, and I was really fascinated by him," Hall said when asked about the film. "I wanted to be a part of that film, but it didn't work out. But all sorts of stories circulated, like I got on set and I was fired, or I was pissed at him for shooting too long. It's all not true."[23] He was replaced with Matthew Modine. His next film would be 1988's Johnny Be Good, in which he worked with Uma Thurman and fellow Saturday Night Live cast member Robert Downey, Jr. The film was a critical failure, and some critics panned Hall's performance as a high school football star, claiming that he, the movies' reigning geek, was miscast for the role. A review for The Washington Post claimed that the film was "crass, vulgar, and relentlessly brain-dead."[28]

I don't think there is any relation to wanting to act r27. It is just that you hear about it when a famous actor is bipolar and when a person who has a normal job has it you don't.

My relative treats people with the it and there are lots of people who have it.

He's barely recognisable as the kid from The breakfast club. He didn't just bulk up and age, his whole face changed a lot from his 20s. I don't think it surgery either. It's like his facial features just thought "we don't like this face, we're going to go in a totally different direction than the one you'd expect"

How masculine! I do believe I"m getting moist

I know he was never handsome, but when did he get to be this homely?

Bitch stole my look!

He's hot even now.

steroid flashbacks

I can't remember where I saw this but it was some video on youtube where he was talking about being deeply devoted to Jesus or god or some christian shit and he came across as very disturbed and unstable. He may have the same issues like Mel Gibson, that's why he has been friends with RDJ forever.

RDJ loves all those creepy religious nutcases.

He's an idiot for turning down a Kubrick film.

I never would have turned down a Kubrick film, even if my part was letting a dog lick jam off my jacksie

Funny how nobody celeb Hall acted out all of Dlers fantasy of inflicting damage on others. He will probably get off for being psychotic due to bipolar.

Anthony Michael Hall has the AIDS you know

Yes, R42. We know. We read it at R3.

Will Smith refused to kiss him in Six Degrees of Separation..

that was Eric Thal he refused to kiss r44.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

r43

And it was worth repeating. We must keep the butt bangers from getting in once he goes to jail. Though who'd want to do a red haired is beyond me. I do imagine though, prisoners aren't that choicy.

[Quote]Why is bipolar so (seemingly) common amongst actors and celebrities? Or... is it? Do people with bipolar gravitate towards public performing? (Carrie Fisher, for example, is back in the news this week with her new book, and was/is bipolar)

Years of abuse on the casting couch eventually takes its toll.

Didn't he play cub to Betty Buckley's cougar for a while back in the 80s?

I was going to post that, r35! Actor Terry Serpico was a better looking version of AMH.

He looks just like Terry Serpico.

You're so conceited, Claire.

He was really cute in The Breakfast Club but he probably hated seeing himself as the scrawny kid

I kinda like his face now. Ive always been attracted to men who werent stamped out of a mold.

[quote] These Hollywood types see violence so casually done in the movies they're in, they seem to think you can just do it and get away with it in real life.

R14 be like:

He was never attractive

What the hell happened to his face?? It has morphed into something unrecognizable.

Everyone ages, but most people his age have at least a shred of resemblance to their teen selves.

He looks like an angry coach now.

It's like his face went into the Witness Protection Program without his permission.

Never married.

He was Robert Downey Jr.'s bff. I wonder if they fucked?

He was a sexy nerd before they were en vogue.

Did we ever find out how much time he got?

I got a stack of nudie books this high!

too much television!

Did the butt bangers get him?

In the 1980's that queen Rex Reed said -Molly Ringwald and her CHEESE DOODLE hair!

When he disappeared in the late 80x and reemerged in Edward Scissorhands, he was virtually unrecognizable!!! I didn't know it was him on the screen.

Trisha Paytas dated him for years and has stated on camera that he gave her every STD you can get, which include the ones that are a life sentence!!

Wasn't he in an episode Riverdale at some point??

When I was a bartender in NYC years ago he came in. He was such a dick. Just angry as hell. I am not surprised he did this. The man has issues.

Furthermore, when I was back in LA a casual friend went on a date with him. She said he freaked her out. So, there's that too.

I saw him one time in a movie. He seems so angry

He was allowed to plea bargain down to a misdemeanor assault charge. He received 3 years probation. He broke his neighbor's wrist

The Breakfast Club” actor Anthony Michael Hall, facing a felony battery charge for breaking a neighbor’s wrist in a struggle, opted Wednesday to plead no contest to a misdemeanor assault and was sentenced to three years of probation. Hall must also serve 40 hours of community service in connection with the conviction for assault with force likely to produce great bodily harm. The incident occurred at his Playa del Rey condominium complex Sept. 13, 2016, when a neighbor left a gate open.

The neighbor suffered a broken wrist and a back injury when the actor shoved him to the ground as an argument turned physical, according to court records. Hall, 48, was charged Nov. 17. The actor could have faced up to seven years in prison if convicted of the original felony charge. The Los Angeles Police Department’s Pacific Division investigated the incident, which was reportedly captured on videotape. The neighbor obtained a temporary restraining order against Hall after the incident but did not seek a permanent injunction, according to court records. The neighbor alleges that he and the actor have had several run-ins in their gated community in the past.

Thanks for the update, r72.

He was never what you’d call handsome. But he was a cute kid. Ugly adult.

His steroids made him do it. I think we all know that...he will die of a heart attack.

I thinks hotter now than when he was younger.

He's starring opposite Jamie Lee Curtis in the next two Halloween movies

They'll be huge

He was the SNL Pete Davidson of his day.

I like him in JOHNNY B. GOOD. Cute and sexy. Those lips! He clearly didn't wanna be the geek in real life or in movies. haha. I first noticed him buff as the jerky boyfriend in EDWARD SCISSORHANDS. I was a kid. I never saw him as the geeky funny kid in movies until my 20s. He was great in those roles too.

No steriods for MJH in prison, he'll likely bloat up and come out looking like fat Brando.

R56 but then why did you date him for two years, Moll?

FYI since we’re talking about it, 3 years ago Anthony told Entertainment News that he’d rather fuck Demi & Ally over you; and worse still he said that you, dearest Molly, would be his ‘Kill’ pick in a hypothetical FMK game. Sorry you had to hear that from us.

Love the jazz album and the new book, though!

[quote] No steriods for MJH in prison, he'll likely bloat up and come out looking like fat Brando.

Uh, what?

He won't go to prison. They'll just force him into treatment, which he obviously desperately needs. He's either on the wrong drugs, or not on any.

He’s not going to jail. The case has been adjudicated, three years probation.

I used to work with his Mom, night club singer Mercedes Hall. Often, she would bring him to the club, and I would babysit him. He was cute and energetic.

R81 Did she write a book of her own or just translate another one? I don’t think it should count if she just translated one.

LOL. R66 bumped a four year old thread just to write that.

He's still working regularly, so maybe he's gotten his demons under control by now.

Yes hes ugly now,but sexy ugly. I bet you hes got a big fat dick and violently fucks you with it .

r5 Playa Del Rey is now disgustingly expensive following the opening of Playa Vista and hundreds of tech companies in the industrial area across the street from Playa Vista. It's a few blocks from the beach.

Play on, Playa.

How did he ever get a job on SNL?

This calls for a dramatic "based on a true story" movie: Gategate?

funny story. Was in Playa yesterday and sitting in my car doing some stuff on my phone. This DILF was in a car next to me and was just kind of staring into space. Took notice because five minutes later he was still there. Wasn't on a call or his lips would have been moving. Was wondering what his deal was. Had a sporty black BMW coupe, well groomed, and i assumed he just didn't want to go home to his screaming kids or wife. Pretty sure it was Anthony Michael Hall once i saw the pic on this thread about 20 mins later.

Is he out yet?
