She said Hall had been well until a few weeks earlier, and spent his final days in warm spirits, reflecting on his life.Born in Toledo, Ohio, Hall had been a well-traveled stage actor and bit-part presence in films and TV before a then-little-known Paul Thomas Anderson sought him out to star in his 1993 short film"Cigarettes & Coffee.
To many, Hall was instantly recognizable for one of the most intense guest appearances on"Seinfeld." In the 22nd episode of the sitcom in 1991, Hall played Lt. Joe Bookman, the library investigator who comes after Seinfeld for years-overdue copy of"Tropic of Cancer." Hall played him like an old-school noir detective, telling Seinfeld:"Well, I got a flash for ya, Joy-boy: Party time is over.
Hall's other credits included playing Richard Nixon in Robert Altman's 1984 drama"Secret Honor." He had parts in"The Truman Show,""The Insider,""Zodiac,""Argo" and"Rush Hour."First published on June 13, 2022 / 11:17 AM © 2022 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
