Winter Amos Hall (21 June 1872 – 10 February 1947) was a New Zealand actor of the silent era who later appeared in sound films. He performed in more than 120 films between 1916 and 1938. Prior to that, he had a career as a stage actor in Australia and the United States. In sound films, he was frequently typecast as a clergyman.
Hall was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, and died in Los Angeles, California. Hall was married to fellow-New Zealander, Katherine Young, a concert pianist. Their Australian-born son, Desmond Winter Hall, was a science fiction writer, magazine editor, and the author of I Give You Oscar Wilde (1965), a novel about the nineteenth century dramatist and wit.[1]
