Ian had his first ever live Instagram chat tonight and it was with Awaken director Bob Degus!

Fans enjoyed listening as both men discussed and reminisced about shooting Awaken (formally known as 9/Tenths) nearly 15 years ago.

For Ian, it was his first film working in the states and it was thanks to Bob, who sponsored him allowing him to get his SAG card.

The film also starred Gabrielle Anwar and Dave Baez.

It’s exciting to know the film will see a re-release with new and previously unseen footage!

Listen below for Ian’s and Bob’s full chat and be sure to visit Awaken on it’s official website: Awaken-film.com

Fans of Henry Ian Cusick may remember an independent film Ian did back in 2006 titled 9/Tenths.

Directed by Bob Degus the film also stars Gabrielle Anwar and Dave Baez.

Considering it’s relevancy to our current times, the film makers have decided to return to the film and have plans to re-cut and re-release it under it’s new name Awaken!

Ian recently tweeted about this, hinting at the re-release:

“Blast from the past or predicting the future? @awaken_film stay tuned!”
