Grant, you didn't say if you liked Training Day but my nephew appeared in a "one man play" with Ethan Hawk and has the utmost respect for Ethan because every time Ethan got accolades for his role in that play or invited to some major shindig with the Broadway big-wigs, he suggested that they also not overlook my nephew who played an important but small part in that production.
Most stars simply forget the supporting characters, but Ethan was definitely not that kind of guy.
And I agree with ya on Ricky Shroeder especially for his role in Lonesome Dove.
I didn't like Training Day ...I loved it! It's one of my all time favorites that I can watch repeatedly ....along with Heat, No Country For Old Men, Braveheart, Legends of the Fall....and a few others....
Ethan Hawke is supremely talented. I love when big names still do Broadway plays even though there is little money in it. It shows their passion for the arts!
Lonesome Dove is one of the most under-rated classics of our time.... and Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones are exceptional in it too....
