    Before he fought in the galactic battles of Star Wars, Adam Driver was a United States Marine with 1/1 Weapons Company. He tells the story of how and why he became a Marine, the complex transition from soldier to civilian - and Arts in the Armed Forces, his nonprofit that brings theater to the military. Because, as he says: "Self-expression is just as valuable a tool as a rifle on your shoulder." Followed by a spirited performance of Marco Ramirez's "I am not Batman" by Jesse J. Perez and Matt Johnson. (Adult language)

Because anything in addition is useless. He's also an actor, trained to say what he's supposed to without hesitating or using the wrong emotions/dwelling on the insignificant details.

      PrimeXero Ehhh I’d say Kylo is pretty damn badass. For one he stopped a blaster bolt in mid air then proceeded to interrogate Poe at the same time, he didn’t slow it, or deflect it. He froze it there. For two he kills his own father face to face like he was nothing to him, breaks Poe mentally and gains information from him through torture, takes a direct impact from Chewie’s bow caster to his abdomen which is a weapon shown to obliterate other individuals and walks it off like it was nothing to then have two lightsaber battles in the freezing cold while bleeding. Not only that but he’s not scared to show his face and look at you eye to eye, he happily takes off his mask in his first ever debut in film and doesn’t care about his appearance. Then in TLJ he kills Snoke by manipulating him into a false sense of security and authority, and then fights off 3+ Praetorian guards by himself, decapitates one in a 1v3 fight, throws another in a fan where’s he’s torn to shreds. Plus his broken nature and his temper make him unpredictable. On one side he could not care and spare your life, on the other he might go into a fit of rage and slaughter anyone nearby he deems dismissible. Remember that scary and badass are two separate things.

      @@thememe-inator532 Not really. I don't think any military members are inherently bad people, I think for whatever reason you do the job it requires bravery to do. But to say they defend our country is just false. In rare cases they probably perform actions that we don't know about that keep us safe, and the dissuasion they cause just by existing is protecting us. But in practically every case the military is just a tool for the government and corporations to make money. Seriously, look into the reasons behind every war we've been in after WWII. The only people claiming it's "to defend America" are the politicians trying to deceive the population so they support it. What they do once they actually wage war is quite telling.

    I’ve discovered what makes him seem so much different and better than other actors. He said while comparing military and theater, they both aren’t about themselves, it’s about others and you have a role in that. So many people do acting for fame and attention and he is a selfless actor. I don’t think he even likes that much attention. That must be one of the secrets of being a great actor. Selfless acting.

      Alfredo J That's actually human nature. We judge based on looks because we want to have the best offspring. Men tend to be attached to big boobs cause it shows the ability to breastfeed a child. The modern stigma was created based off that. Men look for wide hips because it shows a woman's ability to bear children. It's primal nature to judge based on looks.
