Ethan Hawke
Actor
I'm kind of obsessed with Nic Cage. I just found out about r/onetruegod too. He's the only actor since Marlon Brando that's actually done anything new with the art of acting; he's successfully taken us away from an obsession with naturalism into a kind of presentation style of acting that I imagine was popular with the old troubadours.

Who is the most interesting person you've met on your travels? I once saw Lawrence Ferlinghetti read poetry. He had probably the most interesting eyes of any man I've ever met.
