Hawke talks with such passion about his craft and the several masters he's worked with over the years that it's hard not to believe about his deep commitment to his profession.
I believe him to be so underrated, to the point where people often forget the amount of memorable films the four-time Oscar nominated actor has been part of and the milestones achieved in the process.
From working with Peter Weir and Robin Williams in Dead Poet Society...
To meeting his future wife (now ex) Uma Thurman on set for the sci-fi classic Gattaca...
His frequent collaborations with Richard Linklater in the acclaimed The Before Trilogy and Boyhood...
Partnering up with Denzel Washington - who was at the top of his game for Training Day...
Or working with Sidney Lumet in Before The Devil Knows You're Dead - his last movie before the 12 Angry Men / Serpico / Dog Day Afternoon famed director passed away.
The list goes on... and in this video - going over 20 minutes talking about several roles - Hawke even left out one of my personal favorite performances of his, from the film Born To Be Blue where he plays legendary jazzman Chet Baker.
Definitely worth investigating a lot of his body of work. Plenty of quality there to be seen.
