Most popular as a child actor during the 1990s, he is best known for portraying Our Gang kid Alfalfa in the 1994 film The Little Rascals. He and five others in the cast of The Little Rascals won a Young Artist Award for Best Performance by a Youth Ensemble in a Motion Picture. Following Rascals, Hall appeared in John Landis's The Stupids and the soccer comedy The Big Green. In 1996, Hall was nominated for a YoungStar award (Best Performance by a Young Actor in a Made For TV Movie) for his work as Eddie Munster in the Fox telefilm The Munsters' Scary Little Christmas, and he voiced a little boy in Disney's Hercules in 1997. In 1998, he played the lead as Scout Bozell in the film Safety Patrol. Hall also starred in Disney's Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves as Adam Szalinski. Since then, he has continued to appear in films as a teenager and young adult. He was in the direct-to-DVD film Skipped Parts, released in 2000, with Mischa Barton.

In 2013, Hall converted to Catholicism, later leaving Hollywood in 2020. In 2021, Hall stated that he and his family had moved to a farm in the Midwest, so as to undertake a vow of poverty. In December 2022, Hall was temporarily banned on Twitter after posting Tweets in support of marital duty and corporal punishment of minors, regarding his two daughters. He followed up on the ban through his Instagram stating: "The truth will always be unpopular. The truthful will always be persecuted. But eternity will always be sweet". In September 2024, Hall was criticized for referring to his daughters as "dishwashers" in an X post regarding the birth of his first son, whom he called his "heir". He has described himself as a "radical Catholic extremist".
