According to Driver he had tried to become an actor 20 years ago, but failed and so opted to join the marines instead. “It was right after 911 and I feel like most people my age at that time wanted to do something and get involved. It was a little of that coupled with me being sort of directionless. I had gone out to California to be an actor but I totally crashed and burned because I ran out of money almost as soon as I got there.
Driver, who also does live performances and plays, has found a way to blend both of his world experiences. He formed a nonprofit called Arts in the Armed Forces, which started out with him reading plays to military forces, but that has grown exponentially. “We pick a great play by a contemporary American author and we go to a base and read the play with no setting, no costumes, no lights. We just read it to show that theater can be created in any setting and afterward we talk. People make connections from watching this thing and as an actor that is so satisfying, and it’s a great reminder of how you take theater out of New York [Broadway] and suddenly it becomes a weapon, it has action and energy. It also demystifies the military.
Gee I wonder who we could get to play Vlad Tenev in the movie about Robinhood and Gamestop.
