Adam Driver is a brilliant American actor, whose role as Ben Solo/Kylo Ren in the much-anticipated sequels to Return Of The Jedi, has catapulted him to worldwide recognition. If there was anything else aside from his talent that got people talking about him, it’s that he seems to be incredibly large in frame. Just how tall is Adam Driver?

Although many estimate him to be as tall as basketball players or NFL linebackers, he is not quite that tall. Adam Driver stands at 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m or 188 cm) tall.

He may not be considered tall compared to athletes in the NBA or NFL, but in terms of celebrity heights, he’s certainly one of the taller ones.

Is Adam Driver Jewish?

This Marine-turned-actor was born in 1971 and was raised Baptist together with her older sister and stepfather, who was a minister. He is not Jewish.

Driver recalls how he was considered a “misfit” back in high school. He got into fights and did some pretty silly stuff with his friends. He even started his version of a “fight club” where the only rule is “no hitting at the balls.”

After graduating high school, he worked in sales as a door-to-door salesman selling vacuum cleaners and a telemarketer for a waterproofing company back in his mother’s hometown, Mishakawa, Indiana.

Did Adam Driver serve in the military?

Shortly after the 9/11 terror attacks, he enlisted in the Marines where he served for two years and eight months. He got medically discharged for a fractured sternum from a biking accident even before being deployed. His rank was Lance Corporal when his career in the Marines ended. 

His passion for acting prompted him to try out at The Juilliard School, but he was unfortunately not accepted. Not one to be discouraged, he tried again at Julliard and got accepted, graduating with a degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts.
