Adam Driver, who earned an Oscar nomination for “BlacKkKlansman” and stars in the “Star Wars” saga, credits something a bit different for his career — his military service.
Driver joined the Marines shortly after the 9/11 terror attacks and credits his time in the service for providing him the courage he needed to become an actor.
He says being in the military makes the civilian world less scary.
He’s just been nominated for a Tony Award for his work on Broadway in “Burn This.” Driver is also helping his fellow military veterans with his charity, Arts in the Armed Forces.
