Facts About Sex Lives of College Girls Star Charlie Hall

The "Sex Lives of College Girls" Star Charlie Hall Is Following in His Famous Mom's Footsteps

Dec 3 2022

Charlie Hall is becoming a familiar face thanks to his role on "The Sex Lives of College Girls" season two. The 25-year-old actor plays Andrew, Whitney's (Alyah Chanelle Scott) lab partner and new love interest, who has viewers all riled up. Prior to the HBO Max dramedy, Hall snagged his fair share of TV roles in shows like "Bel Air," "Love Victor," and "Single Drunk Female." But there's another reason you may recognise him — his famous parents: "Seinfeld" star Julia Louis-Dreyfus and her husband, "Saturday Night Live" alum Brad Hall.

Charlie — who accompanied Louis-Dreyfus to the White House State Dinner on Dec. 1 — seems to be following in his mother's footsteps as an actor. In fact, he once asked her for some insightful industry advice. "Get out of the business," Louis-Dreyfus jokingly recalled to Entertainment Tonight in September. Despite her hilarious words of wisdom, Louis-Dreyfus is actually super proud of her son and his budding career. She even bragged about him after his "The Sex Lives of College Girls" casting news was announced. "That's my boy," she captioned an Aug. 15 Instagram post.

Beyond that, Hall has a few other TV and movie projects lined up, including an HBO Max rom-com titled "Sweethearts," starring Kieran Shipka and Nico Hiraga, per Deadline. He's also slated to have a recurring role in season two of Disney+'s "Big Shot." Read ahead for everything else we know about the actor.

1. He Started His Acting Career With a Cameo on One of His Mum's TV Shows

Before taking on his role as Whitney's obnoxious know-it-all lab partner in "The Sex Lives of College Girls," Hall appeared in shows like "Big Shot" and a film titled "Moxie." However, his first speaking role came about in his mother's show "Veep," where she starred as politician Selina Meyer, and he had a cameo in season seven playing a character named Eddie Axler.

"It was actually (showrunner) Dave Mandel's idea, God bless him," Louis-Dreyfus shared during a 2019 appearance on "Late Night With Seth Meyers," per the Chicago Tribune. "There was this role of an inappropriately young boyfriend to a record executive who's in his 50s, and Dave said, 'Hey, maybe Charlie can play that part'' And I said, 'Sure, I'll ask him.'" Even though the actor supports her son's career today, Louis-Dreyfus admitted she was "terrified" about Hall's cameo because she "thought he might screw it up." "Sorry, honey."

2. He Has an Older Brother Who Dabbles in Music

Hall has a 30-year-old older brother named Henry, who's also been out and about with the famous family at several red carpet events. Though he may not have as many acting credits as his younger brother, Henry pursued another path in the entertainment industry: music. He started his solo career and released his first album, titled "Neato," in October 2020.

3. He Played College Basketball For Northwestern University

Prior to his acting career, Hall attended Northwestern University, where he played basketball. Louis-Dreyfus, being the supportive mother she is, went to some of his games and raved about them during a 2017 appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" "It has been a thrilling ride," she told the show's audience. Of cheering her two kids on in their endeavours, she added, "All my life I've gone to every game, every concert, every everything. I have to say I'm watching them, and I just do that . . . I don't think about how I look, I'm in my Birkenstocks, and I look like an idiot . . . [But] it was really an exciting thing."

4. He Created His Own Comedy Web Series

Hall created his four-part YouTube comedy series, "Sorry, Charlie," in January 2020 when he was still a student at Northwestern, according to People. He also wrote and directed it alongside his friend and former classmate Jack Price. Additionally, Hall's parents, who he said "have a ton of experience writing and reading scripts," helped with "Sorry, Charlie"'s writing process. The actor told People he'd been creating videos since he was a kid but called his web series his "most official" project at that time.

5. He Helped Support His Mother Through Her Breast Cancer Recovery

Louis-Dreyfus announced her battle with breast cancer in September 2017 and a year later revealed that she was in remission. In a 2020 interview with People, Hall opened up about his mother's diagnosis and said, "It's a struggle to have that happen to your mom." However, he stayed relatively optimistic throughout her recovery. "I felt pretty lucky," he added. "Both just with the care she was able to receive and also the support from our family and friends and people reaching out to me and stuff. I think we all very much felt like we had a team, that we were not alone."
