BIO
In a career on both stage and screen spanning more than four decades, Ethan Hawke has received numerous accolades, including a Daytime Emmy Award, as well as nominations for four Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, a British Academy Film Award and a Tony Award.
Hawke made his film debut at age 14 in Explorers (1985) and gained wider recognition for his role as a student in Dead Poets Society (1989). During the 1990s, he established himself as a leading man with Ben Stiller's Reality Bites (1994), Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise (1995), Andrew Niccol's Gattaca (1997), and Alfonso Cuarón's Great Expectations (1998). He earned critical acclaim and a nomination for Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for portraying a rookie police officer in the crime thriller Training Day (2001). Hawke continued his collaboration with Linklater in the acclaimed Before trilogy, which also spawned Before Sunset (2004) and Before Midnight (2013)—for which he received two nominations for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
Hawke starred in Linklater's coming-of-age drama Boyhood (2014), earning nominations for the Academy Award and BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor. He achieved commercial success with the films Sinister (2012), The Purge (2013), and The Black Phone (2021). Hawke has directed the narrative films Chelsea Walls (2001), The Hottest State (2006), and Blaze (2018), as well as the documentary Seymour: An Introduction (2014) and the documentary series The Last Movie Stars (2022). He portrayed abolitionist John Brown in the miniseries The Good Lord Bird (2020), for which he received a Golden Globe nomination, and appeared as Arthur Harrow in the Marvel miniseries Moon Knight (2022).
Hawke has appeared in many theater productions. He made his Broadway debut in 1992 in Anton Chekhov's The Seagull and was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play in 2007 for his performance in Tom Stoppard's The Coast of Utopia. In 2010, he was nominated for the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Director of a Play for directing Sam Shepard's A Lie of the Mind. Divorced from Uma Thurman, he has been married to Ryan Shawhughes since 2008; he has two children from each marriage. He most recently appeared on Broadway in 2018 in True West. He appeared in Macbeth in 2013 at Lincoln Center. Other credits include Clive, Ivanov, Blood From a Stone, and more.
