Minnie Driver
Not many people know, but before Minnie Driver embarked on her acting career in the early nineties, she was a recording artist. She wanted to be a singer, and released three studio albums. However, her career as a singer didn’t quite take off back then, and she turned her focus to acting. Throughout her acting career, she didn’t forget about her singing, and every now and then she collaborates with record labels and performs.
As an actress, Driver is most widely known for her memorable role in the drama Good Will Hunting, opposite Matt Damon, for which she received her first and only (so far) Academy Award nomination. She also starred in the FX drama series The Riches and the British drama series The Deep.
