Ethan Hawke Dropped Out Of College For "Dead Poets Society" | CONAN on TBS

[@crazedactor]

Can't believe there was no audience reaction to the mention of Dead Poets Society.

[@PeyserConlee]

I know! What the hell was that?! Just watched DPS again last night, it's one of the greatest movies ever!

[@Garyruizjr]

These damn kids don't appreciate great films! Haha

[@ofbestfit]

Alexander Herzen what

[@lraeb2007]

I know right???!!! I was thinking the same thing. I grew up watching that movie.

[@darthdj31]

Ethan's role wasn't that memorable though

[@chickweed4022]

I would have dropped out of college for Dead Poets Society too!

[@Nautilus1972]

No, you wouldn't. Because you didn't know what DPS was going to be.

[@genevievecai]

As would I

Wow, not even ONE clap for "Dead Poets Society," this audience makes me feel old! LOL

[@zamashabalala1992]

duuuuuuuude! like how!? they just went dead silent!! I'm in AWE!!

[@carmenbaines4621]

I saw it when I was eighteen, in 2015, my fellow millennial, and you're right, there is no excuse for not seeing one of the best films ever made

[@natureboihikes162]

he did not play neil.

Ethan Hawke is one of those actors who can really tell a great story during interviews.

[@atharvakalele37]

Dead poet's society is the best movie ever made for me better than any movie out there. The concept of the film was absolutely revolutionary for the time. It was incredible.

[@venessalee2426]

My favorite film.

[@maximusdecimusmeridius13]

Sooo legit

[@smekninga]

I don't think people like him very much because he is not the kind of actor who is the typical Hollywood actor, he is not trying to smile all time, to be fun all the time or to be liked, he is more on his own

[@scorpionz44]

ive never heard anyone hate on ethan hawke

[@neilpatrickchoad4481]

it just makes no sense to have Andy there

[@packofwolves93]

I find it kind of ironic that he got the part to act because he didnt like school in a movie where the main cast is pressured into education and they find their passion and one of them happens to be acting......

[@krystal7710]

[@SplodgeCDR]

I liked how in this interview he looked both ways, at Andy and Conan, more guess need to do that, like there is another person sitting next to them listening. Plus when they engage with Andy some he says funny things more often.
