Adam Driver

Adam Driver was born on November 19, 1983 in Fontana, California. Compared to some, Adam had a relatively late start to his acting career with his big break coming in Girls (2012-2017). It was in this show where he starred as the lead character’s awkward boyfriend, for which he has received three Emmy nominations for Best Supporting Comedy actor.

The show acted as a springboard for his film career, and in 2015 he gained his most high profile role to date as Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Any role in such a high profile film series is bound to bring a good deal of recognition, but his performance as the arch villain drew praise from fans and critics alike. He is set to star in the latest film in the franchise due for release later this year, and he also starred in Martin Scorsese’s 2016 religious drama Silence.
