Is Ethan Hawke the most underrated and overlooked iconic actor of his generation or this entire era of movies???
Seriously, look at all the classics and recent memorable films he's been in over 35 years:
Dead Poets Society
Reality Bites
Before Sunrise
Gattaca
Training Day
Before Sunset
Before The Devil Knows You're Dead
Before Midnight
The Purge
Predestination
Boyhood
First Reformed
The Black Phone
The Northman
Leave The World Behind
Seriously, he should have an Oscar by now!!
His performance in First Reformed is easily one of the best of the last decade or the last fifteen years!!
He should get better and more high profile roles, especially since it's inexplicable to me how this film and acting industry seems to have a weird fascination for some average Mark Ruffalo, for god's sake, but doesn't care about Ethan Hawke.
Seriously, Scorsese, PTA, Spielberg, Fincher, Nolan Villeneuve, Gerwig, or whomever should hire him and give him more roles and put him in more films.
He's as great as the deeply esteemed contemporary actors of his time (DiCaprio, Phoenix, Bale, Gyllenhaal, Gosling, Hardy, Downey Jr, Fassbender, Murphy, etc..) and should be revered more by the film industry.
Sincerely, industry people, give this man an Oscar!!
