Actor Anthony Michael Hall, best known for his collaborations with John Hughes in the ‘80s on films like “The Breakfast Club” and “Sixteen Candles,” joins another nostalgia-tinged franchise, “Halloween Kills,” now in theaters and streaming on Peacock. Hall opens up about playing the role of Tommy Doyle, who appears as a child (Brian Andrews) in the original Halloween (1978) and is later portrayed by Paul Rudd. Hall talks to Salon’s Mary Elizabeth Williams about bringing his own new energy to the character and collaborating with comedy actors in the film. He also reveals what he learned from Hughes as a teen actor.
