What we like the most about Ethan: His insightfulness.

Birthdate: November 6, 1970, in Austin, Texas.

Born: To teenage parents who split up when he was still a toddler.

Travelled the country for seven years with his free-spirited mom until she remarried and the family settled down in Princeton Junction, New Jersey.

First screen appearance at the age of fourteen, with River Phoenix in Explorers.

Education: Attended Carnegie-Mellon and New York University, although he was kicked out of class on the very first day.

Left school: For a role in Peter Weir's Dead Poet's Society.

Tried his hand at writing, with the publication of his first novel, The Hottest State. This novel was received by the media with lukewarm reviews, however, Ethan plans on continuing with his writing.

Made headlines: In 1994, when he asked Julia Roberts to dance while in a club one night. (She was married to singer Lyle Lovett at the time).

Co-founder (along with Robert Sean Leonard, Jonathan Marc Sherman, Josh Hamilton, and Frank Whaley), and artistic director of: Malaparte, a New York City theatre company.

Has twice enrolled in New York University's English program, but film work has kept him from finishing his studies.



Has been criticized by some in the acting community, who see his intellectualism as a farce. Reality Bites co-star Winona Ryder referred to Ethan by saying: "I know a lot of young actors who live in these dumps. They have their books scattered, and their mattress on the floor—and they're millionaires. That's fine. That's their way of living. But the reason they're doing it is they're ashamed. You just want to say, 'Don't live this way to show people that you're real and you're deep.'"

Lost: Thirty pounds for his role in Alive.

Directed the video for Stay (that song they never stopped playing on the radio a few years back), by good friend and former next door neighbor Lisa Loeb. Pay close attention and you can see Ethan's pet kitty in the video.

Won the heart of the lovely Uma Thurman. The two were married in 1998, and have a daughter, Maya, born on July 8, 1998.

When 8 years old, played Daddy Warbucks opposite a 12 year old Annie, in a musical theatre production of Annie.
