Ethan Hawke still regrets missing a role in Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven
Ethan Hawke says he still regrets missing a role in Clint Eastwood’s western Unforgiven.
He auditioned to play the Schofield Kid after gaining attention for Dead Poets Society.
Eastwood chose Jaimz Woolvett instead, while Sam Rockwell also auditioned for the part.
Released in 1992, Unforgiven won the Oscars for best picture and best director.

Woolvett later appeared in a television series based on White Fang, two years after Hawke starred in a film adaptation of the same book.
Unforgiven is available on HBO Max and through video on demand.
