Craig Hall

Craig Hall (born ) is a New Zealand actor.

Early life Hall was born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand. At the age of ten, he decided he wanted to be an actor, after seeing Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future. He convinced his dad to take him to an agency after spotting a newspaper advertisement seeking film extras. He had braces at the time, so nothing came of it, but he persevered.

A workshop in 1993, with acting coach Kenneth McGregor (who was in New Zealand at the time, working on The Piano), resulted in Kenneth referring Hall to an agency. This in turn, led to parts in short films and television advertisements, laying the foundation for his career.

In 2012, Hall was seen in the Australian drama miniseries Howzat! Kerry Packer's War, playing the role of Gavin Warner.

In 2023, Hall was cast in the lead role of Scott, the wealthy head of an evangelical megachurch, in New Zealand family drama miniseries Testify. In 2026, he appeared alongside Judy Davis, Jacki Weaver and Miriam Margolyes in road trip comedy Holy Days, playing Joe, father of the main character Brian Collins (Elijah Tamati).

Theatre Hall has also acted for the stage, having performed in various theatre productions including Killer Joe in 2009 and The Lover in 2010.
