Fame and celebrity

Hall, the son of Seinfeld star Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Brad Hall, plays police officer Frank Worden in the Netflix show – he also played basketball for Northwestern

Charlie Hall, the youngest son of actors Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Brad Hall, is starring in the third instalment of Netflix’s crime drama anthology series Monster.

Monster: The Ed Gein Story, which premiered on the streaming platform on October 3, centres on American serial killer Ed Gein, also known as the Butcher of Plainfield or the Plainfield Ghoul. Gein’s crimes reportedly inspired several thriller and horror films such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), Psycho (1960) and The Silence of the Lambs (1991).

In the series, Hall takes on the recurring role of deputy Frank Worden, the son of Gein’s final victim, Bernice Worden. The cast also includes Charlie Hunnam, Laurie Metcalf, Tom Hollander and Addison Rae.

This is Hill’s second role in the franchise. He first joined the series during its second season, Monster: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. He played Craig Cignarelli, the best friend of Erik Menendez who, along with his brother, was convicted of killing his parents in 1989.

Here’s everything to know about Charlie Hall.

He played basketball at university

Born on May 30, 1997, Hall stands 195cm (6 ft 5 inches) tall and played basketball at Northwestern University in Illinois. The university is the alma mater of both his parents – they met on campus when they were both in a comedy troupe.

In 2019, the former Saturday Night Live stars tried to make it to every single one of their son’s games at Northwestern – when their schedules allowed. When they weren’t at the games physically, they watched them on TV or on BTN2Go, an online streaming service, Louis-Dreyfus revealed in an interview with the Chicago Tribune.

Following in his parents’ footsteps
