Ethan Hawke

And I shit you not, man.

The shot's on me.

I'm walking out of the... You know, walking away from me, screaming, all this stuff.

You know, to watch, you know, a great... Somebody's working on a different level than everybody else.

You know?

He makes all of us look like we're mastering checkers, you know?

And he's...

But to be there and be part of the magic, and I knew where I'd heard him audition some of those lines other places.

We'd run lines together and he'd try this.

He was amazing.

That's what I mean about the power of his imagination.

He was Alonso.

Look for ways, you know, he wasn't, you know, he wasn't putting, selfishly tearing the sale up to make it about him.

He was always looking to help.

I even remember he came to the set the day, I have this scene that he's not in with the Cholo gang, you know, and they're, we're playing cards and, you know, you read your shit pushed in, that scene, you know, where they put me in the bathtub.

And Denzel came to set and he watched the scene.
