*Hannaha Hall may be best known as Tiffany on “The Chi,” but offscreen, she’s got a passion for superheroes, sci-fi worlds, and stories that bend reality.
“I’ve written some sci-fi,” Hall says. “I love the genre. It lets us see ourselves in new ways.”
When she’s not on set, Hall is reading comics, traveling solo, and even writing stories of her own. Her creative imagination runs deep — and it all started long before Hollywood.

“Seriously… I would love to do DC and Marvel, something like that,” she adds, laughing. “But I’m also such a fan. I’ve always loved the Batman films.”
That love of storytelling shows up in her performance as Tiffany, one of the most emotionally complex characters on “The Chi.”
“Playing Tiffany has been such a layered experience,” she says. “She’s a character that I wouldn’t necessarily hang out with, but I’ve learned from her. And I’ve grown with her.”
But Hall is quick to draw a line between the character and herself. She believes in boundaries — especially when dealing with intense roles.
“This is not you. This is the character,” she says firmly. “You have to be mentally, spiritually, emotionally healthy and stable to really be able to detach.”
To stay balanced, Hall keeps a life outside of the spotlight. That includes solo travel, journaling, and staying grounded.
“I love my home. I love coming home. Everything doesn’t just revolve around acting. I write. I travel solo. I do things that give me peace.”
That clarity even helped shape her path early on. Hall originally auditioned for a different role on “The Chi” — one that required nudity. She turned it down, but still wanted to be part of the show.
“I told my team I wasn’t comfortable, but I’d love to be seen by casting,” she explains. “Them switching me over to Tiffany was perfect.”
Since then, her star has continued to rise — and not just because of screen time. Hall’s real power is her perspective.
Whether it’s Tiffany’s evolution, her own sci-fi stories, or a dream Marvel role, Hannaha Hall is always looking to expand what’s possible.
