Trivia

He was in a major car accident in Los Angeles. During surgery for his critical wounds, he received a contaminated blood transfusion. He died shortly thereafter of AIDS. He went public with his illness with the full support of his wife.

Can be seen in Predator (1987) without costume. He is the helicopter pilot at the end of the film.

He is the tallest of six brothers, all over 6'5".

His father Charles Hall was 6'6" and his mother Sylvia Hall was 6'2".

The character of the Predator in Predator (1987) went through many development stages, including one version that was set up for Jean-Claude Van Damme to play a martial-arts fighting Predator, and finally decided on the crab-like humanoid monster seen in the film. The producers realized much of their human cast were bodybuilders over 6 feet tall (and Van Damme was clearly smaller) and thus they cast the enormous Hall so that the Predator could realistically physically dominate the film's human characters.

This giant's face was rarely seen in his films, as he usually played monsters and semi-human creatures that required him to wear mounds of make-up, so few people know that he was a handsome and muscular man.

Referred to his non-speaking monster parts as grunt roles.

When he died, he had just been cast as Super Shredder in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret Of The Ooze, but did not get the chance to film anything before his death.

Auditioned for the lead role of the alien in Enemy Mine (1985) but didn't get the part.

Inducted into Penn Hills of Hall of Fame as part of the inaugural class. (May 8, 2009)

Attended George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

Guest-starred on the final episode of The Dukes of Hazzard.
