Biography
Kenton Hall is a Canadian writer, actor, director, and musician. Born in Estevan, Saskatchewan, Hall first gained recognition as the frontman of the UK band ist, releasing three critically acclaimed albums—Freudian Corduroy, King Martha, and Toothpick Bridge—along with several standalone singles and EPs between 2000 and 2010. During this time, he earned a nomination as one of MOJO Magazine's "Songwriters of Substance."
Before the band's breakup in 2010, Hall had already begun returning to his original career in acting and filmmaking, which started with a brief role in 1994's Little Women but was paused due to his music career.
Since his return, he has accumulated an impressive list of acting credits, including roles in Les Miserables, The Amityville Asylum, Muppets Most Wanted, The Edge of the Lawn, and acclaimed short films such as Twinkle, Twinkle, John Lennon's Turd, and Bus Stop, Wet Day—the latter of which he also wrote and directed.
In 2014, he is set to star as the lead in Clare Speller's Father to Fall—which he also wrote and co-produced—and Rob Ineson and Carl Haynes' Cold Turkey, among other projects.
By late 2014, he is working on two feature films: A Dozen Summers, a film for and about children, and Between New York and Wednesday, an unconventional romantic comedy.
