Executive summary: Dead Poets Society Ethan Hawke first appeared on stage when he was 13, in a high school production of St. Joan. He was 14 when he made his first movie, starring opposite River Phoenix in Explorers, about teen boys in outer-space. Four years later, he had his first mainstream exposure as a fragile boy in Dead Poets Society. His films are usually as serious as Hawke himself, including Alive: The Miracle of the Andes, Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, Gattaca, Snow Falling on Cedars, Training Day, and 2000's high-rise corporate-backstabbing Hamlet. He directed the starving-artist mood piece Chelsea Walls. Reality Bites was a rarity, a Hawke film that could arguably be called a comedy.
Hawke's five-year marriage to Uma Thurman collapsed in 2003, as both he and she apparently had concurrent affairs. Hawke frolicked with a Montreal woman, Jennifer Perzow, as he was in Canada filming Taking Lives, while Thurman was taking direction from Kill Bill's Quentin Tarantino.
