Ethan
Um dos meus actores preferidos faz hoje anos (35) - também sou fã dos seus dois livros, editados em Portugal pela Difel, O Estado Mais Quente e Quarta-feira de Cinzas. Ethan Hawke. Ele tem sido actor, encenador (tem um companhia de teatro com o amigo Robert Sean Leonard), autor, argumentista, realizador e até músico... Uma das curiosidades que fui descobrindo em relação a Ethan Hawke é a frequência com que ele se chama, Jesse ou Jack (ou Jake), nos fimes que faz, é impressionante!! A personagem principal dos seus dois livros, também se chama Jesse...
Outra das peculiaridades nele são os poucos projectos em que alinha. Participa em filmes bons, e não tem problemas em participar em filmes totalmente independentes e até alternativos, como por exemplo, Tape, realizado por Richard Linklater - um grande filme! Saiu do anonimato e surgiu como "estrela" desde que a imprensa cor de rosa o associou a Julia Roberts, por terem dançado uma noite numa festa de actores... Mas antes disso já era um dos actores mais bem cotados pelos amantes de cinema... já tinha feito o inesquecível Clube dos Poetas Mortos.

Biografia
Ethan Hawke (born November 6, 1970) is an American actor, writer and film director.
Born in Austin, Texas, Hawke moved to Princeton, New Jersey at an early age, where he took acting classes at the McCarter Theatre. He first appeared in various high school performances, e.g. in George Bernard Shaw’s Saint Joan.
At the age of fourteen he made his feature film debut in Explorers (1985). Afterward, Hawke studied acting at the British Theatre Association in England and at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

In 1988, Hawke was offered a role in Peter Weir’s Dead Poets Society and his part as Todd Anderson was his breakthrough. He left school and appeared in A Midnight Clear, Alive, Reality Bites, Before Sunrise, Gattaca, The Newton Boys, Great Expectations and many other movies. In 2001 he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in Training Day.
Hawke has recently directed Chelsea Walls and has written two novels, The Hottest State (1996) and Ash Wednesday (2002).
On May 1, 1998 he married actress Uma Thurman with whom he has two children, daughter Maya Ray (born July 8, 1998) and son Levon Roan (born January 15, 2002). They separated in 2004 amid tabloid rumours his infidelity with an unknown woman. In 2005, along with his co-writers, he received his first screenwriting Oscar nomination for Before Sunset (a sequel to Before Sunrise).
Hawke owns a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia.
