Adam Driver is an American actor, best known for portraying ‘Kylo Ren,’ the main villain in the latest ‘Star Wars’ films, ‘The Force Awakens’ and ‘The Last Jedi.’ Born and raised in California, Adam was not too keen on a career in acting initially. Following the 9/11 attacks, he joined the ‘United States Marine Corps.’ He was later honorably discharged, following an accident. He then enrolled at the ‘Juilliard School’ to learn acting and soon started performing in ‘Broadway’ and ‘Off-Broadway’ productions in New York. He occasionally worked as a busboy and waiter to support himself. He made his screen debut with his appearance in the pilot of the 2010 series ‘The Wonderful Maladys.’ The next year, he made his film debut with Clint Eastwood’s ‘J. Edgar.’ After receiving initial praise for his performances, he eventually bagged a major role in the 2012 comedy–drama series ‘Girls,’ and this turned out to be a big career breakthrough. Reputed director Jim Jarmusch offered him the lead role in his film ‘Paterson,’ and the film proved a favorite with film festivals and earned Adam immense accolades.
