Anthony Michael Hall has built a career on portraying characters with depth and complexity, moving beyond his early roles as the quintessential ’80s nerd in Brat Pack movies like “The Breakfast Club” and “Sixteen Candles.” His latest endeavor finds him playing an arms dealer named Zachary Beck on the third season of the popular Amazon Prime Video series “Reacher.”

In this new role, Hall delves into the intricate layers of his character, who masquerades as a humble rug importer while operating within a criminal network. The power struggle within this network, coupled with Beck’s complex relationship with his son Richard, adds a richness to the character that Hall finds both challenging and rewarding.

Interestingly, Hall’s real-life experiences as a new father to Michael Anthony Hall II in June 2023 have provided him with a wealth of emotions to draw upon for his portrayal of Beck. The dynamic between Beck and Richard allows Hall to explore themes of self-forgiveness and redemption, adding a poignant depth to the character.

Reflecting on his early fame in ’80s teen films directed by John Hughes, Hall acknowledges the challenges of being typecast as the geeky character he often portrayed. However, he embraced opportunities to break out of this mold, taking on diverse roles in film and television, including a memorable stint on “Saturday Night Live” and appearances in popular series like “Riverdale” and “Entourage.”

As Hall’s career progressed into adulthood, he found success in character actor roles that allowed him to showcase his versatility and talent. From starring in the USA Network series “The Dead Zone” to appearing in high-profile films like “The Dark Knight” and “Halloween Kills,” Hall’s ability to inhabit complex characters has defined his later career.

Now in his 49th year in the industry, Hall approaches his work with a sense of gratitude and a desire to collaborate with talented filmmakers and actors. He values the journey he has taken in the entertainment industry and remains focused on continuing to challenge himself and grow as an artist.

The first three episodes of “Reacher” Season 3 are currently available on Prime Video, with new episodes releasing weekly. Hall’s portrayal of Zachary Beck showcases his dedication to his craft and his ability to bring depth and nuance to every character he embodies.
