It is said that a talented person shows his extraordinary abilities in different areas. As a confirmation of this statement - the career of Ethan Hawke, who realized himself as a great actor, writer, as well as screenwriter and director. And who knows what he’ll come up with tomorrow to add to his talent list?
Ethan Green Hawke was born in Texas in 1970 in Austin. He was born when his parents only got married, and his mother was barely eighteen years old. The marriage broke up very quickly. Nine years later Ethan had a stepfather, and they moved to Princeton, where the childhood of the future artist passed.
At school, Ethan began literary experiments: he wrote short stories and dreamed of becoming a famous writer. Once he got to the rehearsal of a theater club, and the dream of writing simply evaporated - he "fell ill" with the theater.
At school, he played in productions, at the age of fourteen he got on the set of the documentary "Researchers". This made him decide on a future profession: he finally decided to become an actor.
He trained at the theater, graduated from acting courses and Carnegie Mellown University.
Movie career
Ethan's first appearance on the screen was a triumph - he was lucky to star in the film "Society of Dead Poets." This iconic film starring Robin Williams made famous all the young actors who played their roles in it. So began the biography of Hawke in the film industry.
He gained fame among the audience and recognition from the producers, which led to his role in the film "White Fang" (1991). Hawke played the courageous and fearless Jack Conroy, who, despite the severity of the trials in Alaska, did not lose his humanity and kindness. After this role, Ethan played many more similar roles and risked being stuck in one role.
To prevent this from happening, Hawke agreed to roles in comedies, dramas, and historical films. And unexpectedly for himself, he became very popular in romantic paintings and in melodramas. This greatly increased the number of his fans, although there were many of them.
In 2001, a significant event happened: the film "Training Day" was nominated for an Oscar, and in one of the nominations was the role of Hawke. Probably, after that it was possible to get star disease, but the actor decided that he needed to go even further - to direct.
And here he was waiting for success: his picture "Chelsea Walls" was shown in Cannes. And for the script for the film "Before Sunset" Hawke received an Oscar.
But that's not all: Ethan decided to make a film from his novel, and he did it - the film “The Hottest State” was released on the screens, the script of which the actor also wrote himself. That is, he began to be realized as a writer, and continued this experience by writing the novel Ash Wednesday.
Another fairly successful Hawke experience is the film "Adolescence", which was released in 2014.
In recent years, viewers can see an actor mainly in action films, horror films and thrillers, but who knows what else this talented actor will come up with and bring to life?
