Ollie Hall

Melvin's son steals the show.

Ollie Hall was the name of an interviewer who was interested in The Rutles, who entered into a minor feud with Melvin Hall during the production of The Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch. Ollie would stalk Melvin and then, repeatedly, take the microphone away from him, trying to take over the documentary in his place.

It was only near the end of production that Ollie revealed why he was doing this: he was Melvin's son, born to a woman Melvin slept with during the production of the first Rutles movie. Melvin, elated that he had a son, quit the interviewing industry to spend more time with the family he never knew he had.
