A service journalism story I would like to do is a personality profile on one of Hollywood’s most critically acclaimed actors. With a different background than most actors, he has been able to use his experience to aid him with his roles such as Flip Zimmerman, Charlie Barber, and his most known role of Kylo Ren/Ben Solo. I would do the profile on actor Adam Driver.
Starring opposite of actress Lena Dunham, Driver came to fame in 2012 with his role of Dunham’s character’s boyfriend. Since then his credits include roles in the recent Star Wars Trilogy, BlacKkKlansman, and most recently in Marriage Story. But before Driver was an actor he joined the US Military and was a part of the Marine Corps. But while the movies he has been are great works of cinema, I want to focus on his non-profit organization that he founded with his wife Joanne Tucker in 2006 called Arts in the Armed Forces (AITAF) Professional working actors such as David Schwimmer, Mark Ruffalo, and others will travel to military bases, both domestic and international, to bring the arts to all members of the military and their families free of charge.
There have been many profiles done and Driver and his military background, family background, and his acting background but none on his activism background and his work with AITAF.
