Ethan Hawke As Ben Crandall In Explorers (1985)
Ethan Hawke is one of the busier actors in the industry, starring in at least 3 productions each year, with 2018 being one of his busiest. And this is besides doing some writing, producing and directing work along the way.
His very first star role in a feature film which you may not have noticed was in Explorers from 1985. There he played a boy named Ben who was a huge fan of science fiction movies and had a recurring dream about this one blueprint. He ended up redrawing it, gave it to his friend, and what happens next, well, you gotta watch the movie now.
Cause noone gives a hoot about the Sheldon TV show and thus noone cares
I guess that makes sense, but I did like TBBT.
