BIOGRAPHY OF ADAM DRIVER
Adam Douglas Driver was born in San Diego but grew up in Mishawaka, Indiana, where he graduated. His family has European branches: English, Dutch, German, Irish and Scottish blood flows in his veins.
He receives a religious upbringing (his stepfather is a Baptist minister) and as a boy he sings in the church choir. When he attends high school he appears in numerous school plays. After graduation he moved to New York where he studied acting at the prestigious Julliard School. After September 11, 2001, he enlisted in the Marines and served two years and eight months in Afghanistan. More than patriotism, according to him, has to do with the fact of not being able to make ends meet as an actor, even if later on he will say that he has learned a lot from that experience.
Discharged for health reasons and returned to study in New York, begins to tread the boards of the Broadway and off-Broadway stages (as well as working as a delivery boy and waiter) and appearing in TV series episodes such as The Unusuals is Law & Order and in the tv movie You don’t know Jack – Doctor death. Since 2012 he is Adam Sackler, the love object of the protagonist Lena Dunham, in the sitcom Girls, for which he gets 2 Emmy nominations. A role for which, he explains, he was sure he would not be taken: “the script specified“ a nice carpenter ”and I’m a visual gag, with this huge face that I find myself, so I was sure they would choose someone else. In short, I don’t run the risk of getting leading roles “.
The television experience denies him and even the cinema soon pays more attention to him, gets small roles in J. Edgar and Lincoln and in 2012 we find it in the bisexual comedy Gayby, where it also acts Joanne Tucker, his girlfriend since college, who will marry in 2013. In 2012 it has a more substantial part in Frances Ha of Noah Baumbach and the following year he put his musical experience to good use in About Davis, where he performs a memorable trio with Oscar Isaac is Justin Timberlake, counterpointing his baritone voice in the song “Please mr. Kennedy “.
From then on, his career continued to rise: wins the Coppa Volpi in Venice in 2014 for its interpretation in Hungry Hearts of Saverio Costanzo next to Alba Rohrwacher, go back to work with Noah Baumbach in While We’re Young and is one of the protagonists of This is Where I Leave You with Jason Bateman is Jane Fonda. He then moves on to two high-level projects, including his first blockbuster: he is in fact chosen for Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, where he finds his colleague Oscar Isaac, and for Silence of Martin Scorsese, where is Father Francisco Garppe, one of the Jesuit priests persecuted in seventeenth-century Japan.
Driver is the head of a non-profit organization, Arts in the Armed Forces, which puts on performances for Army personnel. He often referred to John Cassavetes as a model of creativity to which he wants to refer.
