With Oscar and Tony nominations and three new films, the much sought-after actor has now hit superstar status
Few actors could be said to have dominated a year as much as Adam Driver. The 36-year-old began 2019 with a best supporting actor Oscar nomination for BlacKkKlansman and will end it as the star of three of the year’s most talked-about movies – The Report, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Marriage Story.
In the months between, he has won rave reviews for his performance in Burn This on Broadway, earning a Tony nomination (he missed out to Bryan Cranston), and been the focus of a series of adoring profiles. An article in the New Yorker alluding to Girls, the TV show that made Driver’s name, branded him the “Original Man”.
