Ethan Hawke Breaks Down His Career

kottke.org October 21, 2025 By Jason Kottke

Listening to Ethan Hawke talk about his career for 30 minutes is a treat. He starts with Explorers (which I loved as a kid) and continues with Dead Poets Society, Before Sunrise, Boyhood, and First Reformed. Good Lord Bird is on the list as well…I’m making my way through the book right now and I’ll be eager to check out the miniseries after I’m finished.

I wish they would have included Gattaca but you have to stop somewhere otherwise the dang thing’s gonna be an hour long.
