Ever since the ’80s, we have known Anthony Michael Hall as Anthony Michael Hall. It turns out his name is not Anthony Michael Hall.
I have never heard that his name was anything but Anthony Michael Hall. Have you?
Well, yesterday, when Anthony Michael Hall was on Live with Kelly and Ryan, he revealed to Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest that his birth name is Michael Anthony Hall.
So, why did he switch up his first and middle names? Back when he was a kid, actors in SAG were not allowed to have the same name as someone else in the union. Therefore, his parents decided to go with Anthony Michael Hall. And the rest is Hollywood history.
I can’t believe he was able to go over 40 years without us knowing any differently. Or am I the only one who didn’t know this?

Before Anthony Michael Hall was part of the Griswold family in Vacation, he was an orphan in Six Pack. How cute was the 13 year old in that 1982 movie?
Anthony Michael Hall was on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and a caller wanted to know which movie or television has he done does he wish he could delete from his career. At first he said, “Oh, I got a bunch.” Then he settled on a movie called A Gnome Named Gnorm. After watching the trailer for the 1990 movie, I do not know what he is talking about. I think it is looks like the best film in his career, even ahead of Sixteen Candles and Weird Science.
What do you think of the trailer of A Gnome Named Gnorm?
UPDATE: Anthony Michael also played Plead the Fifth, and he revealed which Brat Packer got the most action. Believe it or not, it is not Rob Lowe. To hear that answer, then click here!

A few weeks ago Old Navy released a Christmas commercial with three of the Griswolds and everyone wondered where Rusty was. Well he was just waiting for the next group of commercials to come out. That’s because Anthony Michael Hall who played him National Lampoon’s Vacation and Jason Lively who played him European Vacation joined their movie parents, Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo, while Johnny Galecki was no where to be found. And in the new ad Juliette Lewis also saw her former Audrey self because Dana Barron who originated the role can be seen by the Christmas tree.
Too bad that Galecki opted not to be in the ad because if he did it would’ve made it perfect.
BTW here is another Griswold Old Navy ad without all of the kids and that makes me go Chevy Chase left Community for this…
