Do you remember him as Todd Anderson in Dead Poets Society (1989), or as Jesse Wallace in Before Sunrise (1995), or as Mason in Adolescence (2014)? You will surely remember him in “Gathaka”, considered by the public to be one of the most significant films of our time.
He is always remembered because in each incarnation he looks like the “real” person behind his character.
This is Ethan Hawke.
The acting profession requires not only talent, but also a lot of knowledge and life experience.
Ethan Hawke is one of the most educated actors in the world – he graduated from three universities: New York University, Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Texas at Austin.
His broad culture has developed not only in the acting profession, but has also made him famous as a writer, screenwriter and director. Hawke starred, wrote and directed the film Fast Food Nation. In 2013, the film “Before Midnight”, which he also wrote, received two nominations for the screenplay: “Oscar” for Best Adapted Screenplay and the Satellite nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.
The following year – 2014, for the role of Mason in the film “Adolescence”, the actor received successive nominations for “Oscar” – for Best Supporting Male Role, nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Ethan Hawke was born on November 6, 1970 and has more than fulfilled his 52 years. There is no prospect of “retreating” as he had threatened long ago.
Her first major role was in 1985 in the film The Explorers, where she starred opposite River Phoenix. Many remember him in “White Tooth” (1991), “Night Resistance” (1992), “Alive” (1993), “Bits of Reality” (1994), “Before Sunrise” (1995), “Gattaka” (1997) , “The Newton Brothers” (1998), “Great Expectations” (1998) and others.
He received his first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the film “Training Day”.
His directorial debut was with the film “Chelsea Walls” (2002).
He is the author of two novels: “The Warmest State” (1996) and “Ash Wednesday” (2002). He is also the director of numerous theatrical performances.
Hawke was the husband of Uma Thurman, whom he met while filming the film “Gattaka” in 1996. They have two children: a daughter named Maya (born 1998) and a son named Levon (born 2002). The couple separated in 2003, but the divorce was finalized in 2005.
Three years later, Hawke married Ryan Shawhuys, her children’s ex-nanny, with whom they now share a production company. They have two daughters: Clementine Jane (born in 2008) and Indiana (born in 2011).
In this year the news came out that Ethan Hawke is preparing a promising crime series “The Whites”. One critic called it “another Hawke challenge”. In fact, he has surprised us ever since he was a young man in director Peter Weir’s Dead Poets Society, after which he played a whole host of character roles, including a detective.
Ethan Hawke has had a brilliant career for more than three decades, but shared in an interview that he would like to spend at least three days off with his family. His daughter Maya Hawke is already having her starring moment with the Netflix hit “Stranger Things”.
Hawke is proud of all four of his children and has promised never to give them advice and … to fix their teeth. According to him, his crooked teeth made his face “more human”. This was seen by some as a “gauntlet” by Hollywood, where they preferred the artificial look as “more presentable”.
Hawke responded to the criticism very convincingly: “I was watching the Oscars on TV a few years ago and they all looked like they were made from a mold. They looked so artificial. And then the crazy Sean Penn took the stage and I was like,” Here’s a human creature, “says the actor in his interview.
With that, Hollywood completely refused to contradict him. Hawke made it clear that he doesn’t want to be part of the “perfect crowd”.
What Ethan Hawke says:
I don’t consider myself very talented.
I would not like to talk about a symbol of an entire generation, especially since this generation is still too young.
Always do things in the best possible way, no matter what you do, what profession you have …
People always ask me how I choose my characters. Well, it is very difficult to answer this question. It is difficult to provide such explanations relating to a person’s psyche. It is very difficult! And this is a misleading question, too personal in some respects.
I think most people are good at more things than the world gives them the opportunity to deal with.
All this tabloid trash is some kind of luxury tax that I pay for all the good things I do in my life.
The truth is, I never wanted to be a movie star and I was quite aware of that.
