While his roles are diverse, the foundation for Adam Driver's success centers on his military service, jcarucci_ap writes.
FILE - This May 1, 2019 file photo shows Adam Driver at the 73rd annual Tony Awards "Meet the Nominees" press day event in New York. Driver is nominated for a Tony Award for his work in a revival of Lanford Wilson’s play “Burn This.”
Over the past decade, Driver has amassed an impressive acting career, with accolades ranging from his work on the HBO series “Girls” to his more recent Oscar nomination for “BlacKkKlansman.” And coming up, it’s his last turn as Kylo Ren as the “Star Wars” saga comes to an end. His time in the service helped tear down some of the inhibitions he faced when pursuing an acting career, including relocating to New York. He told himself that if it didn’t work out, he’d be OK on the streets.“You have that kind of like survival mentality in the military. It gives you a lot of confidence going back out into the world,” Driver said.
“If anything, theater in New York can get a little bit like recycled air. And it’s amazing how much you take it outside of New York, the language becomes a weapon in a way to different communities,” Driver said.
