[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to high school with Ethan Hawke, he already had made more than one relatively successful movie before going to CMU.[/quote]
Courtesy of Wikipedia:

"Hawke obtained his mother's permission to attend his first casting call at the age of 14, and secured his first film role in Joe Dante's Explorers (1985), in which he played an alien-obsessed schoolboy alongside River Phoenix. The film was favorably reviewed but had poor box office results. This failure caused Hawke to quit acting for a brief period after the film's release. Hawke later described the disappointment as difficult to bear at such a young age, adding, "I would never recommend that a kid act."[/quote]

Are you trying to contradict me?  Ethan started appearing in local professional theater in middle school and made another short film that was released in 1988, when he was a senior in high school.  Short break or not, he had made a well reviewed movie with River Phoenix while still on high school.  Dead Poet’s Society, which launched his career, was  released less than year after he graduated from high school.  CMU had nothing to do with his success, he was already a young star when he arrived there..[/quote]
