Porter Hall(1888-1953)
- Actor
For over two decades, Porter Hall made a career out of playing villains
and pompous, unpleasant people. His movie career was not a mirror of
his real life, however. Mr. Hall was well known as a generous and
outgoing person who was well-liked by almost everybody he knew. It is
ironic that the role he is most often seen in today is that of an
atheist in Going My Way (1944) - ironic because Hall was a deacon in his church.
Hall, who didn't make his first movie until he was 43, remained active
until his death in 1953.
