Ethan Hawke and Ewan McGregor Talk Raymond & Ray and Acting

With writer-director Rodrigo García’s Raymond & Ray now streaming on Apple TV+, I recently spoke with Ethan Hawke and Ewan McGregor about playing two half-brothers in the film. During the fun interview, they talked about what drew them to the project, how projects like this are difficult to get made, how they get ready for a role, how long it takes to let go of a character, and what you should watch if you’ve never seen their work. In addition, Hawke reveals why he signed on to voice Batman in the animated Batwheels cartoon, and McGregor talks about voicing Sebastian J. Cricket in Guillermo del Toro’s stop-motion Pinocchio movie.
Raymond & Ray tells the story of two half-brothers (Hawke and McGregor) who take a road trip to bury their father after he dies. Both had a bad relationship with the man, and both had reasons to hate him. But somehow, they each still have a sense of humor, and the road trip allows both of them to try and escape his ever-present looming shadow and gain closure in their lives. The film also stars Maribel Verdú, Sophie Okonedo, Tom Bower, and Vondie Curtis Hall. Raymond & Ray was produced by Alfonso Cuarón, Bonnie Curtis, and Julie Lynn.

Love it… but you guys ehh do you allow Perri to talk to men for example.. because to me it honestly seems like you’re segregating her into only talking about movies with female leads.
