His Thoughts on Kylo Ren
Driver liked to play Kylo Ren as younger than his actual age, and that’s what makes his portrayal more compelling. He was a “confused, angry man-boy” with powerful forces whispering in his ear. Then when you see him as pre-Dark Side Ben Solo, the character is still unexpectedly sympathetic.
