If you want to achieve greatness, stop asking for permission
I have seen him in The Wire and The Wire is one of my favorite show but Idris Elba always play the same role and basically he plays "himself" in any films and I still don't think he's better than Jamie Foxx as an actor and Jamie Foxx did great job with his role in The Soloist. Believe me, Jamie Foxx gonna take this role more serious than Idris Elba does and he knows this cause it's f*cking Tarantino films like I said Jamie Foxx is very interested picked but at least he's better than Idris.
