Damson Idris is a massive star in America, but the British actor is still making a name for himself in the UK.
He landed his breakout role on US series Snowfall in 2017, playing a drug kingpin in South Central LA – despite never having been to the States at that point.
Plucked from obscurity to play the part of Franklin Saint by Boyz n the Hood director John Singleton, who sadly died in 2019, he has been billed as the next Denzel Washington.
