“I used to live in the Bronx, then I lived uptown on 106th St. and Broadway, and finally I moved to Harlem right before it became gentrified. I lived on 120th St. between Fifth and Lenox Aves. in a little brownstone. I knew the neighborhood was changing when they started putting trees in the middle of the block,” Regina Hall has said.
At first, during her early twenties, Hall was planning to pursue a career in journalism or writing, however, during her first semester of graduate school, she changed her mind after her father passed away from a sudden stroke. Just after she got her bachelor’s degree, she decided to pursue a career in the entertainment business and began practicing acting. In 1996, she made an appearance in the song “The Interview” by the rapper Sadat X, which was featured in his commercially acclaimed album Wild Cowboys.
1992 marked the beginning of her career. In her first television appearance, she took a small role (which remains uncredited) in the television soap opera Loving. A few years later, in 1997, she got a major role in New York Undercover. Her film debut came in the 1999 romantic-comedy The Best Man. The film was a box office hit which earned $34.57 million from a $9 million dollar budget.
