Will Hall fell into a screen career by accident after hanging out with filmmakers at Lincoln University — while he was studying towards a commerce degree. Since then, Hall has forged a career both in front of and behind the camera. Hall’s introduction to trans-Tasman film work had some teething problems, but on returning to NZ he landed a key role in The Insiders Guide to Happiness. Roles in Shortland Street and tele-feature Bloodlines followed, as well as Underbelly - Land of the Long Green Cloud and Nothing Trivial. Hall also co-produced and acted in feature thriller Netherwood.
In this ScreenTalk, Hall talks about:
They were just searching for a new doctor . . .. It was a case of blowing the dust off this old showreel they'd received years ago. . . ... there was no audition or anything. They kind of combined what they'd seen on the show reel, and somehow come out with a skateboarding, pot-smoking ED doctor.– Will Hall on how his role in Shortland Street began from a forgotten showreel he had sent in
