Happy Birthday...i love your hair...you are so talented...you are my favorite actor...i love you...happy Birthday!!! ^_^ Jen -Jukiah@aol.com

Hey Ethan!! First I would like to say Happy 21st Birthday! (how corny, that kinda rhymes) Anyway, I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for all you have done in my life. This past December, I lost my grandfather. I was very close to him and I was in a state of depression. After about 2 weeks, I turned on my TV and began to watch "Empire Records" Watching you play Mark made me laugh for the first time since my grandfather passed away. I've been a big fan ever since. Now, whenever I need a laugh, I just pop one of your movies into my VCR and it helps. Thanks again, and if you can, please write back! Love, Danielle Vita -FoReVaDaNi@aol.com

I would just like to say to Ethan and anyone else willing to listen that he is a greatly admired actor by me and many others. From what I can tell he is sincere and dedicated, has a great style and a great personality (gotta love the music interests and his sk8ing/surfing/bass playing skills! Similar to my own), and it is awesome to know he is a down to earth person and that the show business doesn't go all to his head much. It's also very inspiring to think how young of an actor he is and how accomplished he already is! I hope he has an outstanding birthday...as he is 21...don't drink too much, and have fun cuz that's what life is all about! (most of the time). "Peace out 'G'" Hugs, Nicole -NiC311PunK@aol.com

Happy Birthday Ethan, I wish you the best on your 21st birthday and I hope your success continues for yet another year. I do hope that your "Fad-like" popularity (especially amongst girls 12-17) doesn't wear you down or typecast you. I've seen you do some excellent work; I know you have it in you to surpass the great things you've already accomplished. Stick to your guns and don't give in to the pressures of your sudden burst of popularity! You are the master of your own fate, so take the roles you want; choose them well because I'll be watching for your growing skill as an actor! *s* My best wishes to you and good fortune for another year!
