Dennis "Sprangalang" Hall (30 September 1949 – 2 October 2020) was a Trinidadian comedian, historian, actor, producer and singer/composer.[1] His work has a mostly Trinidadian character and lies in its extremely local nature. Hall starred in the 2003 situation comedy Lord Have Mercy! which was produced in Canada for VisionTV but has also aired on Caribbean International Network and other television stations in the Caribbean in the years since it was produced. He was also featured in the 2007 Canadian feature film A Winter Tale, written, directed and produced by Frances-Anne Solomon, as well as the stage play A Man in the Bedroom, alongside fellow Trinidadian comedian Errol Fabien in 2010.[2]
