While Anthony Michael Hall‘s guest role on No Ordinary Family is a short one, it gave him super powers. However, he still doesn’t get the attention he deserves for the role. The American actor brought his unique charm and talent to the role but because it’s a guest starring role, it doesn’t measure against his body of work. Nevertheless, portraying Roy Minor in No Ordinary Family is a good addition to his cache of short roles in shows that matter.
Named Michael Anthony Hall at birth, the actor had to switch his first and second names when he joined the Screen Actors’ Guild as an existing member already had the name. He hails from a family of talented performers which certainly rubbed off on him. Hall has worked on many projects but his films with John Hughes stand out and take credit for bringing his talent to the spotlight. Notwithstanding, the contributions of minor roles he played in projects like No Ordinary Family cannot be ignored when measuring his overall grander success.
Who Did The Anthony Michael Hall Play On The Show?
When news emerged that Hall will guest star in No Ordinary Family, his role was described as “a force to be reckoned with” and this isn’t far from the truth. Anthony Michael Hall played the role of Roy Minor in No Ordinary Family. His character is the father of Chris Minor, a recurring role played by Luke Kleintank. Hall appeared in the “No Ordinary Proposal” (2011) episode and his stint in just one episode saw him gain super strength, even stronger than the main character, Jim, who is strong enough to lift 11,000 lbs. effortlessly.
Roy’s son on the show, Chris Minor, is responsible for stealing the serum that made his father super strong. Chris was in a relationship with Daphne Powell who later decides to erase his memory of her super powers but this also means he won’t have any memory of her. Nevertheless, it’s a sacrifice she has to make to keep her family safe.
