Although he may be more known for his role in the "Star Wars" sequel trilogy, the 38th-year-old had a busy year with three notable movies.

Driver starred in the romantic musical "Annette," which premiered on August 6. He played a controversial comedian Henry McHenry who fell in love with an opera singer.

The opera artist is named Ann Defrasnoux [Marion Cotillard]. Their marriage encountered usual twists, which made some critics call it "the weirdest movie of the year."

The 38-year-old was cast alongside A-Listers including Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in "The Last Duel," a Middle Ages production that hit theaters on October 15.
