Ken will also star in the Shakespeare in the Park production of As You Like It, in Toronto at the High Parks Amphitheatre in July as well as performing in a special rendition of Snow White, with the Young People's Theater. Standing at 4 foot 7 ¾ inches, Ken is also an advocate for physical diversity in Hollywood.

A long and successful career in improv comedy brought Ken the Canadian Comedy Award for 'Best Breakout Artist' as well as multiple CCA nominations. Keeping to his improv roots, Ken regularly tours and performs at festivals in his critically acclaimed duo 2-MAN NO-SHOW, with comedic partner, Isaac Kessler. The improv/sketch sensation was nominated twice for 'Best Improv Troupe' and 'Best Comedic Show' as well as Toronto's Best Improv Troupe. Having nurtured an insatiable appetite for comedy, Ken is able to lend his wisdom and expertise to aspiring actors by teaching public speaking classes and theatrical clowning classes at the Second City in Toronto in addition to solo improv classes, on-camera comedic acting classes and mindfulness classes through the Bad Dog Theatre in Toronto during this pandemic. 

Proudly standing at 4-foot-7 ¾ and living with scoliosis, Hall aims to be an advocate for Physical Diversity. He has noticed the slowly evolving trend of casting director's efforts in hiring actors fitting the physicality they are looking for in characters. He believes that for people who are physically different like him, it's important that they are also recognized for their talent, and they have stories to tell and want to be seen.
