Art Hall

Art grew up in Pasadena, Maryland and began to exhibit an interest in the arts at a very early age. From writing short stories and drawing comics in school, to programing simple story-driven games in QBasic, he was always fascinated with story telling. As he entered middle school he took hold of the family VHS camera and began making short films and stop-motion films with his toys, casting himself and his neighborhood friends in the various roles.It was not until Art was cast in his high school production of "It's a Wonderful Life" that he discovered his love of the theatre. He went on to appear in nearly every other production at Chesapeake High until his graduation. At the University of Maryland he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Performance while appearing in many of the Theatre Department's productions including "The Crucible," "SubUrbia," "Our Town," "Scapin," and "Standing on My Knees."While at college (and only 20 years old) Art co-wrote/produced/starred and directed the independent feature-length comedy The Money Shot (2005).After moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the industry Art continued his studies at the Howard Fine Studio and The Second City. He furthered his work on stage with the theatre company West Coast Ensemble, the Newport Theatre Arts Center, The Gallery Theatre in Anaheim, and the First Annual LA One-Minute Play Festival. It was during this time he met Chad Diez who auditioned and cast him in the leading role of Nathan for the award-winning web series Laps (2011) --a role for which he lost 65lbs during the production.
