You may know him as Kylo Ren, but in real life, his name is Adam Driver, and his career is moving into the fast lane. Tracy Smith has our Sunday Profile:
Adam Driver was the brain-probing bad guy in last year?s ?Star Wars? mega-hit, ?The Force Awakens.?
He was intense and malevolent, sure. But his Kylo Ren was also kind of, well, vulnerable.
Clearly, Driver is no ?Star Wars? villain, but he might be just as complex.
Before he ever picked up a lightsaber, Driver was best known as Lena Dunham?s boyfriend in the hit HBO series, ?Girls.? The role seems tailor-made: He plays an actor named Adam, who lives in Brooklyn.
Dunham: ?You?re not being that nice to me. I don?t really understand why you want to have me around.?
Driver: ?When you love someone, you don?t have to be nice all the time.?
