He was often cast in gruesome roles due to Hall's height. In the 1979 horror film Prophecy, he made his acting debut.

Hall was portrayed as the main antagonist in Predator, opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1986. The Predator was supposed to be played by Jean-Claude Van Damme, who appeared in the first few scenes, but was uncredited in the end credits. The producers decided to recast Hall so that the Predator could more convincingly dominate the film's human characters due to its larger size. At the end of the film, Hall was also revealed as a helicopter pilot. Hall will reprise his role in the 1990 film, this time opposite Danny Glover and Gary Busey.
