At the ripe old age of one year, Huntz made his stage debut in Thunder on the Left. He went on to attend New York's Professional Children's School, perform in radio programs and at least one experimental TV broadcast, and sing with a youthful quintette; the last activity came to an end when he "ruined" his voice hawking peanuts at Madison Square Garden.
In 1935, Hall was cast as slum-kid Dippy in "Sidney Kingsley"'s "Dead End", repeating the role in the 1937 screen version. Together with his fellow "Dead End Kids" "Leo Gorcey", "Gabriel Dell", "Billy Halop", "Bobby Jordan" and "Bernard Punsley". Hall was signed by Warner Bros in 1938.
