The Lowdown's Ethan Hawke Made His Acting Debut in This Box Office Bomb
Ethan Hawke, with a Hollywood career spanning over four decades, is currently enjoying a remarkable resurgence. He stars in FX’s The Lowdown, which recently completed its first season, and appears in the successful Black Phone film franchise. Despite many knowing him from his breakthrough role in 1989’s Dead Poets Society, his first film appearance was actually in 1985’s Explorers, a little-known movie often seen as an E.T. imitation.
