The famous Ethan Green Hawke is an American actor and film director. He has been nominated for four Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and a Tony Award. Hawke has directed three feature films, three off-Broadway plays, and a documentary. He has also written three novels and one graphic novel.
Away from acting, Hawke directed the music video for the 1994 song Stay (I Missed You), by singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb, who was a member of Hawke’s theater company at the time. Spin magazine named Hawke and Loeb’s video as its video of the year in 1994. In a 2012 interview, Hawke said that the song, which was included in Reality Bites, is the only number-one popular song by an unsigned artist in the history of music.
He published his first novel in 1996, The Hottest State, about a love affair between a young actor and a singer.
Hawke said of the novel, Writing the book had to do with dropping out of college, and with being an actor. I didn’t want my whole life to go by and not do anything but recite lines. I wanted to try making something else. It was the scariest thing I ever did. And it was just one of the best things I ever did.
