Dangerfield (1999)

Despite then nabbing a 12-episode part on the more-established series Dangerfield as a forensic scientist, it wouldn’t be long before Elba moved to New York.
 
“England is home and I love it,” the Cockney-voiced actor says. "But England couldn’t house my ambition”. Still, he occasionally returned home for jobs like The Inspector Lynley Mysteries. As you do.
 
Cockney? Not American yet.

      As it stands I still call him Stringer when I see him in anything else. He hasn't done anything good enough to cause me to refer to him by his actual name.. "Givin' me far to many forty degree days Idris.."

      lol....That is funny. I am just now watching The Wire. I am up to season three and I just watched the epsiode with the "forty degree days" speech in it. He is amazing in The Wire, though with McNulty looking in Dee's suicide, I have a feeling Avon will be making sure Stringer gets got soon enough. As an American, I would like to thank you all for letting us borrow Idris Alba!
