American actor Adam Driver was born on November 19, 1983 in San Diego, California. After serving as a Marine, he turned to theater education and graduated from the Juilliard School, laying a solid foundation for his stage career. HBO's hit series Girls played a decisive role in introducing it to wide audiences. He attracted great attention from both critics and audiences with his portrayal of Adam Sackler in this production directed by Lena Dunham. However, it became a real worldwide phenomenon when it joined the Star Wars universe. J.J. Driver, who played the role of Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, directed by Abrams, successfully portrayed this complex and multi-layered villain in the sequels. He has become one of the indispensable names of independent cinema as well as big-budget productions. Jim Jarmusch's poetic film Paterson and Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman are among the outstanding works of his career. He also gave a strong performance in Martin Scorsese's Silence. He came to the radar of both critics and the award world with Marriage Story, directed by Noah Baumbach, and his acting performance with this film was talked about for a long time. Driver, one of the rare actors who can easily switch between stage, independent cinema and box office films, has become one of the most sought-after and trusted names in Hollywood over time.
