The Lowdown's Ethan Hawke Made His Acting Debut in This Box Office Bomb
Ethan Hawke has enjoyed a Hollywood career spanning over four decades and is now experiencing a strong second act with starring roles in FX’s The Lowdown, which recently completed its first season, and the popular Black Phone film franchise. Despite many knowing him from his breakthrough role in 1989’s Dead Poets Society, Hawke actually made his film debut four years earlier in a little-known sci-fi film called Explorers.
The director said the studio "ruined" the sci-fi film.
Explorers is often overlooked due to its poor box office performance and similarities to E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. However, it marked the starting point of Hawke’s long and varied career.
Additional Context

- The Lowdown recently finished its debut season on FX.
