My Journey From Marine To Actor

💎

My Journey From Marine To Actor

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.
