I mostly remember him from Seinfeld and Magnolia. But everything he has been in, he's been great.

RIP.

This is one of my favorite performances of all time. I encourage anyone who hasn't seen Hard Eight to do so ASAP.

Totally agree. The film and the performance are among my favorites too.

R.I.P. to the definitive onscreen Nixon.

I remember him in too many films to list.

RIP. 😞😞

Another one of those remarkable character actors whose face was more well known than is name. Loved him in Magnolia, Boogie Nights, Zodiac, and The Talented Mr. Ripley. One of my favorite appearances from him that a lot of people didn't see or forgot about was a guest shot on the ABC sitcom Modern Family where he played a grouchy old hermit who Luke (Nolan Gould) took it upon himself to get him to leave his house. This guest shot should have earned Hall an Emmy nomination. Terrific character actor who was so good at what he did it was really easy to overlook him. RIP.

"The Colonel's got the money. You've got the talent, Jack. I've got the connection to the equipment and the mail order distribution, not to mention those kids out there, who are hot **** action to the max, Jack. This here's the future. Videotape tells the truth."

He was also great as the police chief, Carter's boss, in the first Rush Hour. RIP

He cracked me up on Seinfeld

Love him in PTAs flicks, especially Magnolia.

But 90 sure ain’t no bad milestone in life. Rest In Peace.

God bless you Mr. Hall for keeping a straight face during this whole episode. R.I.P.

i knew he was from seinfield.
rip phillip

"50 / 50" was such a great film. Mr. Hall was wonderful in it.

I forgot he was in 50/50...yeah, he was great in that.

I forgot to post about his passing. He was in almost every other movie, it seemed and that was a good thing. That said, I'll never hear his name without thinking of him as "The Library Policeman" on Seinfeld. Godspeed, PBH.
