## Early life and training
Hall grew up in Vancouver with two brothers and described herself as a competitive child who loved sports; she played soccer on an all-boys team[4](https://johnsonproductiongroup.com/images/presskits/FitForAPrince-PRESS_KIT.pdf). Her mother was a dancer and put her into dance at age three, starting with ballet before she added singing[7](https://www.thelist.com/1794868/hallmark-natalie-hall-life-before-acting/). She performed the leading role in a community theater production of *Annie* and won first place representing [British Columbia](https://www.edgepedia.org/british-columbia) in a national singing competition[4](https://johnsonproductiongroup.com/images/presskits/FitForAPrince-PRESS_KIT.pdf) • [8](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/natalie-hall/bio/3000516688/).
**Formal training.** Hall was trained at the London Academy of Ballet and graduated with honors of distinction in dance at sixteen[4](https://johnsonproductiongroup.com/images/presskits/FitForAPrince-PRESS_KIT.pdf). At eighteen she moved to New York City, where she joined touring productions of *A Chorus Line* and *Wicked*; in *A Chorus Line* she played Val and earned an Ovation Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress[7](https://www.thelist.com/1794868/hallmark-natalie-hall-life-before-acting/) • [4](https://johnsonproductiongroup.com/images/presskits/FitForAPrince-PRESS_KIT.pdf). She has said that watching Broadway performers also appear on daytime soap operas gave her the idea to move into film and television[7](https://www.thelist.com/1794868/hallmark-natalie-hall-life-before-acting/).
## Television career
Her first major screen role came in 2009, when she joined ABC's *All My Children* as Colby Chandler, replacing Brianne Moncrief in the part; she played the role for 180 episodes through 2011[7](https://www.thelist.com/1794868/hallmark-natalie-hall-life-before-acting/) • [1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2834250/). Her mother had been a fan of the show, so Hall knew its plots and characters before auditioning[8](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/natalie-hall/bio/3000516688/).
Through the 2010s she built a steady record of guest and recurring parts on network dramas: arcs on HBO's *True Blood* (as Amber Mills, 2014) and USA's *Royal Pains*, guest spots on *The Good Wife*, *Drop Dead Diva*, *CSI: Crime Scene Investigation*, *Pretty Little Liars* (as Kate Randall), and *NCIS: New Orleans*, a lead role as Taylor on [The CW](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-cw)'s *Star-Crossed* (2014), and a recurring role as Lucy on The CW's *Charmed* (2018)[3](https://www.tvinsider.com/people/natalie-hall/) • [5](https://www.hallmarkchannel.com/noel-next-door/cast/natalie-hall).
