Episode description

Ethan Hawke's "staying power" is grounded in hard work. He survived being the poster child of Generation X ("Reality Bites"), and thrived as Richard Linklater's go-to actor ("The Before Trilogy," "Boyhood") and always returns to the true home of the actor--the theater (he's currently starring in "True West" on Broadway). Now he has delivered one of the most critically acclaimed performances of the year in Paul Schrader's "First Reformed." He generously shares the wisdom and knowledge he's acquired over the years as an actor, and is extremely eloquent when doing so. In this episode, he talks about the importance of off-camera acting, magic vs. rehearsal, not being seduced by laughter, and lots more.
