"That's the thing nobody talks about. We spend all this time trying to figure out: who is the character? What is he thinking? What's his watch look like? How does he do his hair? You read everything you can find about them, and then you have to say goodbye to them."
At 55 years old with over four decades in the film industry and nearly 90 films, Ethan Hawke has earned his first Best Actor Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart in 'Blue Moon.' Despite his extensive career, Hawke maintains the enthusiasm and curiosity of an emerging actor, demonstrating genuine gratitude for his craft. He spent approximately 10 years preparing for the role before filming for just 15 days. The actor discusses the emotional complexity of intimately knowing a character he never physically met, embodying them on screen, and then saying goodbye. His passion for the character remains undiminished as he balances rehearsals for the second season of 'The Lowdown' while reflecting on career memories and what he would communicate to Lorenz Hart.
