Back when Ethan Hawke was a preteen, he and his sister got their hands on an Ouija board. Then the actor told Grahan Norton that she asked it who her brother was in a past life and it spelled out James Dean. The actor says his hands were on the board and might have pushed it, but he does not know.
If you think about it, he does kind of have this James Dean thing going on about him. Plus, you could say Dead Poet’s Society was the next generation’s Rebel Without a Cause? Maybe it is true…
Another thing to consider is that reading happened about two years before he started acting professionally. Therefore, would that be the name he would spell on the board?
