When I was in high school, which was over 20 years ago, we saw movies like Dead Poets Society and Swing Kids as a part of our collective education. I love that he brought up River Phoenix and Gus Van Sant. My Own Private Idaho is absolutely fantastic. Keanu Reeves is one the actors from that same generation. He's an amazing character! These guys are the actors that truly made a significant impact in my life. It's nice to see when actors like Ethan Hawke opens up. He's alive when he speaks which deliver these things with an impact. It's beautiful!

“It didn’t come for free.”

He's voice is so soft and I can feel his sadness

"It didn't come for free" Any of us who struggle with depression and work hard at what seems natural, know what it is to be like Robin Williams post-scene, alone and depleted.

Thank you Ethan for always remembering river phoenix. So much respect

There are actors-artists and there are "actors"-celebrities.

Ethan Hawke and Robin Williams worked together in "Dead Poets Society" Ethan Hawke and Philip Seymour Hoffman worked together in "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" His feelings about both actors are incredibly thoughtful and genuine. He is not one of those actors who pretend like people that suddenly passed away meant more to him than they really did because it's the popular thing to do. He doesn't feign sadness and adoration for actors he didn't know. It's clear how much they meant to him both professionally and personally. And this is why Charlie is the best: He shows a clip, asks a question and just lets Hawke run with it instead of trying to cut in with pointless banter.

averyaugust Absolutely, he is wonderfully insightful here about these extraordinary colleagues of his, and I loved what he had to say. I also want to add that he says something extremely important about depression and creative people--and about pretty much anyone who works very hard and passionately in his or her career. "It comes at a cost". It can be draining to devote so much of your skills and talents to do great things. We as audiences and receivers of those talents can so easily appreciate those efforts, but we really should pay attention to those moments when those brilliant people are not "on" and are drained by their work. That's when you can see what is really going on underneath.

That's the longest I've seen Charlie go without stepping on his guest.

You can just see it and hear it in Ethan's voice. Art is hard and great art is damn near mind breaking, but without it, were nothing

This is a stunning and eloquent acknowledgment of the human condition and the truths that are managed as actors wrestle with how to portray complicated characters. It’s hard NOT to love Ethan for HIS obvious love for these people in his life.

Extraordinary. Heartbreaking realization that he is right about things not coming for free and his anecdote about Robin.

Very underrated actor stay strong

What a beautiful and sensitive man!

It annoys me that during this entire video, all i can think of is how many times today's talk show hosts would have interrupted Ethan, thank you Mr. Rose for actually allowing the guest to respond and speak.

That's what happened with Stephen Colbert when he was being interviewed about Magnificent Seven. You would think because of how emotional and how close to tears he is, that that might not happen and maybe it won't but, who knows.

I love Ethan. Such a warm, gentle, humble and appreciative soul. Not to mention one of the best artist's of not only his generation, but ever. This was so refreshing to hear but most people only want to talk about themselves.

Fuck me I am in tears. River was so beyond his years. Thanks Ethan.

Hawke is eloquence itself. It doesn't come for free....

It's an unforgettable part of this interview. And why we miss Charlie Rose. This was only 6 years ago, but feels longer. Every night there was an interview, or two, or three, and there would be moments like this, unexpected, graceful, resonant, truthful, that you wouldn't forget. Just simple, honest conversation. We have nothing like this now and cancel culture took this away.

such a gentleman.. talkin.. poor lad is holdin it together.. u can tell by the number of times..he says you know!!..

What a rare and wise talent

I love how Charlie doesn't interrupt Ethen and just lets him talk.

When he talked about Robin coming off set and sitting aside...it broke me. I can just see the amount of energy and emotion he put in...it doesn't come free...it drains you when you invest so much.

agree with Holland, also truer words never spoken- " it doesn't come free"

Holy Shit!!! What a piece of film you have captured here (Charlie). I will never look at Ethan Hawke the same. A brilliant string of words. Lovely!!! Memorable. "It doesn't come for free!!!"

I saw Hoffman in Death of a Salesman. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house at the end.

He's just talking about people he worked with and admired . He's genuinely upset. I think a lot of actors are full of shit but as soon as they tend to be real that's when people like to put them under the microscope n dehumanize them. I always liked this dude

Always admired Ethan Hawke's work and like him even more now.

He’s so sweet adorable. Great human being and actor.

This brought tears to my eyes, so real and heartfelt. Even though he speaks so softly and eloquently you can feel the weight of the despair and loss he feels. Such outstanding actors and huge losses. Ethan is incredibly gifted and also seems like a loyal and great friend to have.

You will often hear people say that there aren't any true "movie stars", whatever that means, around to today like yesteryear. Ethan though, is one. Thoughtful, articulate, passionate, considerate, humble, and a fine actor with it.

I’m staying sober starting today.

One of the greatest actors remembering two of the greatest actors. An honour to watch..

Great to see him and Denzel together again.

It doesn't stop when your 40 and it's a tough road,it's amazing what a good interviewer can do when they just let the person talk,make sense,not make sense

Ethan is such an insightful and articulate story teller, this was truly tragic yet beautiful to listen to.

RIP legends

I miss phil hoffman so much

Ethan is not my favourite actor, but he is a guy who has many stories to tell, so it is the most interesting of his, the way he tells an anecdote and you can't stop to stare at him listening what he tells, so that's why he's so special. Besides, he's a lucky man because, he's been surrounded by greatest actors, such as Robin Williams & River Phoenix.

Good lord what a statement

For us who have lived in this real world of having to act to live. And the parts we have chosen I'm glad someone has told our stories.And the depression of being drained to fit in this world and being mature about the seriousness of life. It's a constant death that keep me fighting for answers of why me Lord,of myself I'm nothing.

that was as genuine as an actor can get from what I've seen, not the usual bandwagon bullshit

Damn this is good shit.

I had the honor of meeting Ethan this summer in Minneapolis, thanks for the chat, Ethan. Try to keep authentic, buddy. Your deceptive tactics are not an admirable trait, but you, Philip and Robin do indeed have an amazing talent for telling and disseminating fairy-tales...

beautiful

At around 1:40 in Ethan says, "Its part of what the documentary is trying to be about." What doc was he talking about? Was a doc on Robin Williams? Or Ethan's own doc Seymour: An Introduction.

Hawke is one of those actors who could have taken the RomCom route and rode his looks into a lucrative easy career. Instead, he has taken chances and made interesting and sometimes great art. Actors like Hawke keep cinema and theater viable. Thanks for doing that for people like me who love cinema. PS-doing a movie about Flannery O’Connor will hold you in good stead with me for an eternity-one of the great writers of the last 100 years.

This made me think of Mr. Hawke like he’s a normal person. I suppose they are. But it’s not always apparent.

The comments are funny to me: Ethan Hawke is just acting here, he's mythologizing the struggles of famous actors, etc. etc. I have many things I could say about this, but I'll stick to one. Acting may be one of the only professions that puts you in contact with how your own behaviour is constructed, modulated, protean, opportunistic, and so on. Once you're observant of how you develop a Self and how you portray that Self, you become aware that other ways of interacting with the world are not only possible but authentic, you can bear out all kinds of plausible behaviour, and even while you could inhabit contradictory selves you also truly see that no choice is neutral or without impact. Life becomes very complicated. If he is acting his grief and sense of gravity here, he is only acting it as much as anyone does, but he has better tools to do it with. That may sound like psychopathy, but it's not quite the same thing. The manipulation that actors use is different, because its goal isn't directed only at power, it's also directed at truth. I agree with him, it's not easy to live this way, and I believe that for such people there would be a "demon in the woods" that says life is meaningless, all of it merely play and subterfuge. Artists sadly don't know how to create only what is helpful for people without the byproducts that come with its creation: disorientation, hollowness, and isolation. Take care everyone.

@@matteg.3587 I'm sorry that I came across so insensitive. I had to reread my comment because I had no memory of it lol. I still agree with what I said, but I would qualify it. Emotions are still real, and memories can carry indelible emotional weight. What I think I was trying to say is that feeling something and looking like you're feeling something are two different things, and in acting you only need to be able to do the second to succeed. The danger is when an actor, or anyone, loses sight of which is which and how they interact. In Ethan Hawke's case here, and the comments criticizing him for acting, I wanted to suggest that perhaps being able to convey emotion effectively is a powerful tool for handling real emotions. It's when conveying emotions is not done with intention, or done in the same way whether they are real or constructed, that behaviour and self-image can get twisted and scary. I do not believe Ethan Hawke is such a person or actor. Peace.

What a great professional.

Great guy, thats what a class act sounds like.
