But he is an actor at the end of the day, and a damn good one. The best actors go whole movies/tv series straying convincingly far enough from their baseline that they're believable in that role (it was embarrassingly late in the Walking Dead series before I realized Andrew Lincoln wasn't American , and I didn't know about Elba's rap career until I researched him a bit on a lark after I watched Pacific Rim )
