One such talent is IDRIS ELBA Speaking about how it is over there he said I think English actors who come to America have to be prepared to go in and work hard because it’s very, very tough and very competitive. I have been very lucky. I didn’t broadcast the fact that I was English whilst I was on The Wire. The people that hired me didn’t know that I was English either. Now it’s more common knowledge but I’d say its luck and hard work really. born 6 Th September in hackney LONDON UK and started acting at school .Soon he could be seen in ABSOLUTLY FABULOUS and then that forgotten show FAMILY AFFAIRS he was the only good thing in it. It would be his role in ULTROVIOLET that started to get him noticed, but perhaps his big break was in THE WIRE as RUSSELL STRINGER BELL which really brought him to attention of the American public creating a massive fan base for the actor.IDRIS starred alongside GABRIELLE UNION in DADDIES LITTLE GIRLS also appearing in 28DAYS LATER and opposite DENZEL WASHINGTON in AMERICAN GANGSTER .In 2008 you can see this talented actor in ROCKNROLLA ,THE UNBORN THE HUMAN CONTRACT (DIRECTED BY JADA PINKETT SMITH. In 2009 he is set to appear in a thriller OBSESSED alongside BEYONCE KNOWLES & ALI LARTER OF HEROES fames ,about a successful asset manager who is being stalked by ALI LARTERS character .If you have seen this lady in action you know this could be interesting .Yet thrillers aren’t my style. All this demonstrates the man pulling power over there and the enormous respect people in and out of the industry have for this talented man, Who by the way is also a music artist know as DJ BIG DRIIS.
