In a recent TED talk, Driver gave an eye-opening look into how he became a movie actor. Driver begins by saying he was devoid of ambition and joined the Marine Corps. That was right after 9/11 and he says, he was motivated to do something following the terrorist attack.

Driver admitted that he loved being in the Marines, but an injury meant he would never fight again with his platoon in Iraq. Driver then turned to acting and was accepted into Juilliard. Something he says changed his forever.

“I felt myself becoming less aggressive as I was able to words to feelings for time, and realizing what a valuable tool that was,” he explains. He also goes on to talk about the founding of Arts in the Armed Forces, a non-profit organization which sends actors to perform for military audiences across the globe. “I can think of no better community to arm with a new means of -expression that those protecting our country,” he says.
