He is recognized for his collaborations with auteur filmmakers. Driver made his film debut in J. Edgar (2011) and played supporting roles in Lincoln (2012), Frances Ha (2012), Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) and While We're Young (2014). Driver won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor for a leading role in Hungry Hearts (2014) and gained wider recognition for playing Kylo Ren in the Star Wars sequel trilogy (2015–2019).



He played a poet in Paterson (2016), and had supporting roles in the religious epic Silence (2016) and the heist comedy Logan Lucky (2017). Driver garnered consecutive Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actor for playing an agent infiltrating the KKK in BlacKkKlansman (2018) and Best Actor for playing a director going through a divorce in Marriage Story (2019). He has since portrayed real-life figures such as Daniel J.

On television, he gained acclaim for playing an emotionally unstable actor in the HBO series Girls (2012–2017), for which he received three consecutive Primetime Emmy nominations. On stage, Driver made his Broadway debut in Mrs. Warren's Profession (2010) and subsequently acted in Man and Boy (2011) and Burn This (2019), the later of which earned him a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play.

Driver is a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps. He also was the founder of Arts in the Armed Forces, a non-profit that provided free arts programming to American active-duty service members, veterans, military support staff, and their families worldwide.
