Celebrity Poker: Ethan Hawke

The poker industry tries to include celebrities in some of their events to attract serious attention all over the world. Celebrities constitute a large following in the international poker scene. It is indeed a rising segment in poker. Among the most popular celebrity poker player today is Ethan Hawke!

According to the nymag.com, the celebrity poker player Ethan Hawke headed back to his apartment, where his friend Josh Charles, a buddy from all the way back to Dead Poets Society, was crashing in Hawke’s office–slash–guest room for the duration of his run in Neil LaBute’s The Distance From Here. They listened to the new Wilco album and played some poker.

About Ethan Hawke: Actor, director, screenwriter, novelist. Born November 6, 1970, in Austin, Texas. Ethan Green Hawke (a.k.a Ethan Hawke) made his feature film debut in Joe Dante's Explorers (1985). Hawke studied acting at the British Theatre Association in England and at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. He has twice enrolled in New York University's English program and is one of the founding fathers and artistic director of Malaparte, a former New York City theatre company. Malaparte productions included A Joke!; Wild Dogs; Good Evening; Sons and Fathers; It Changes Every Year; Veins and Thumbtacks; Hesh; and The Great Unwashed.

Ethan Hawke's role as the scruffy, philosophical slacker who pines for Winona Ryder in Reality Bites in 1994, directed by Ben Stiller and also featuring Janeane Garofalo and Zahn, made Hawke a heartthrob for the so-called Generation X. He expanded his moody romantic lead portfolio in Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise in 1995, costarring Julie Delpy. Meanwhile, Hawke remained active with Malaparte, making his theatrical directorial debut with the company's production of Wild Dogs! in 1994. He also appeared onstage in Chicago, playing opposite Sinise in the Steppenwolf production of the Sam Shepard play Buried Child.

In 1988, Hawke was cast in a role in director Peter Weir's Dead Poets Society; the film's success was considered Hawke's breakthrough. He left school and appeared in A Midnight Clear, Alive, Reality Bites, Before Sunrise, Gattaca, The Newton Boys, Great Expectations and many other movies.

In 1996, during a two-year hiatus from fillmaking, Ethan Hawke published his first novel, The Hottest State, which made him the object of some ridicule by the media despite garnering some positive reviews. In 2001, he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in Training Day. Ethan Hawke withstood the criticism and would go on to publish a second novel, Ash Wednesday, in 2002.

In 2005, he received his first screenwriting Oscar nomination for co-writing the 2004 film, Before Sunset which is a sequel to Before Sunrise. On March 26, 2006 Ethan Hawke's personal business office in New York City was destroyed by a fast-moving fire. He was in the middle of directing and starring in a movie version of his first novel, The Hottest State. The fire broke out in a newly renovated office on the second floor of the office building and the blaze quickly spread to the fifth floor. It destroyed Hawke's fourth-floor office and his post-production studio. Master tapes and negatives from Hawke's film were being stored off-site and were reportedly not destroyed by the fire.

Ethan Hawke's latest movie is the “Daybreakers”, a vampire flick but, vampires are all the rage these days, but who’s got the best bite? Since Robert Pattinson's Edward Cullen slays his Bella (Kristen Stewart) only metaphorically, with love, and Ethan’s character is more of bite’em and leave’em type, Daybreakers producers Sean Furst and Bryan Furs.

Ethan Hawke played as Edward Dalton – a vampire hematologist with human-friendly goals and a weary-undertaker wardrobe. Written and directed by the Spierig Brothers; director of photography, Ben Nott; edited by Matt Villa; music by Christopher Gordon; production designer, George Liddle; visual effects by Postmodern Sydney, Kanuka Studio and the Spierig Brothers; produced by Sean Furst, Bryan Furst and Chris Brown; released by Lionsgate.

About Kristen Stewart: Her first real taste of fame came in 2001, when she was cast opposite folks like Timothy Olyphant, Joshua Jackson and Glenn Close in the acclaimed drama The Safety of Objects. Her place as an up-and-coming performer worth watching was cemented the following year with her role in David Fincher’s electrifying thriller Panic Room, in which she spent many of her scenes working alongside no less than Jodie Foster.

Kristen Stewart spent the next several years popping up in one box office success after another, including Cold Creek Manor, Catch That Kid in 2004 and Zathura: A Space Adventure in 2005, but it wasn’t until 2007 that she was cast in the leading role of a major Hollywood motion picture -- The Messengers – underwhelming horror flick, Kristen Stewart’s fans were treated to a tantalizing glimpse of her future as an A-list star. By mid 2007, Stewart had completed work on Into the Wild, Yellow Handkerchief, and What Just Happened?

In 2008, Kristen Stewart worked on more movies than any previous year. She added Jumper, to her resume, as well as the movie that made all the ladies love to hate her, the vampire flick Twilight. Playing Bella Swan, the mortal who wins over vampire Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson, Stewart got to get hot and heavy onscreen with the guy of the moment who all the young girls and women alike are swooning for. When rumors broke that maybe the two were hooking up off-screen too, young girls everywhere furiously posted hate mail to Stewart on websites dedicated to hating the Twilight star. Nothing says success quite like that.

Kristen Stewart can currently be seen in New Moon, the sequel to Twilight. While we might not make it to the theater for the Twilight sequel, we'll definitely be checking Stewart out in her upcoming roles in Welcome to the Rileys, opposite James Gandolfini, and The Runaways, opposite Dakota Fanning.
