I have loved Idris Elba since first seeing him in, “Prometheus”, then again in, “Pacific Rim” as the unforgettable Stacker Pentacost, and more recently in, “The Mountain Between Us”. In each role, he has played a man of integrity, sharp intelligence, and a man who CHOOSES his life course through his own actions.

is he a good guy or a villain in The Wire? I know he has a British series he’s in as well where he’s a cop or detective I think.
