Ethan Hawke

I can really respect and dig my teeth into an actor like Ethan Hawke because he seems really passionate and intelligent these days. Last time, he was promoting a movie Before Sunset, he was asking Conan O'Brien about whether he had used ecstacy, and Ethan Hawke is coming off as very intelligent and passionate about his work in interviews on Sunday Morning Shootout and Jimmy Kimmel live. He talked about starring in a 9-hour play and talked about what it's like to be cast in the protege role alongside Robin Williams and Denzel Washington

Here's an interesting interview with him:
