Ethan Hawke at Miami Film Festival GEMS
Award-winning actor Ethan Hawke made a striking entrance at the Miami Film Festival GEMS, held at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus. Unlike a typical tourist visit, Hawke arrived in an espresso brown suit with crimson glasses, walking the red carpet with distinction.
Receiving the Virtuoso Award
This year, Hawke was honored with the Virtuoso Award, recognizing his achievements across a three-decade-long film career. The award presentation included a conversation with journalist Ramin Setoodeh, hosted by Variety.
“You just want another chance to keep playing. I’m most interested in what I’m going to do tomorrow,” Hawke said.
Reflecting on His Career
Hawke’s first role was as Ben Crandall in Explorers. At age 14, he felt like a failure after the film’s reception and doubted praise he later received for Dead Poets Society. Today, his view of his career is far more positive.
“It’s not every day that someone truly appreciates and is still passionate about their career decades into doing it,” said Hawke, showing his deep respect for his craft and continuous inspiration from the world around him.
