I feel like an idiot. I had never read that Idris had been attached to the Alex Cross movie. I thought I had come up with that on my own.

He seems too reserved in a lot of the roles trying to use an American accent (Stringer Bell, the office, etc.). Loses some of that natural swag


I think he does a very good American accent.

Pulled Charlize Theron with it in Prometheus.

Luther is a must watch IMO, led me to watch Sherlock which was equally as entertaining


I took the same path. Enjoyed both shows immensely.

All your comments point back to two TV shows, not movies and yes I've seen The Wire. So your arguments aren't too convincing. Do I think he's a good actor? Yes. The OP is meant more for the people who think whatever movie or show he's in is gonna be great. Watch Ghost Rider 2.

Has anyone ever said this?

Elba's a good actor and has great screen presence. He steals a lot of scenes he's in. No one ever said his movies are sure fire hits.

I'm not the one who started an inane thread asking why people like Elba then responded that no one is convincing enough. No one was trying to win you over, you pedantic troglodyte

I dig the guy for The Wire and Luther . He's got a lifetime pass for those two. I would LOVE to see him crop up in Doctor Who as The Master
