# Idris Elba

> Elba threaded the needle: a British actor who became an American prestige-drama anchor (Stringer Bell, John Luther) without losing the London edge, then slid into blockbuster franchises - Marvel's Heimdall, DC's Bloodsport, Sonic's Knuckles - and kept the credibility intact.

## Bio

Idrissa Akuna Elba, born 6 September 1972, studied at the National Youth Music Theatre in London and broke through playing Tim in Family Affairs before HBO's The Wire (2002-2004) made him unavoidable as Stringer Bell. The BBC's Luther (2010-2019) won him a Golden Globe and four Emmy nods; he was Emmy-nominated again for The Big C and Hijack. On film he played Nelson Mandela in Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (2013), a warlord in Beasts of No Nation (2015) that earned him a SAG Award, and turned up in American Gangster, Prometheus, Pacific Rim, Star Trek Beyond, Molly's Game, Hobbs & Shaw, and The Harder They Fall. He joined both the MCU (Heimdall across six films starting with Thor) and the DCEU (Bloodsport in The Suicide Squad), voiced Zootopia's Chief Bogo and Sonic's Knuckles, directed Yardie (2018), DJs as Big Driis, and co-owns a Formula E team. His films have grossed over $9.8 billion worldwide.
