Idris Elba as Heimdall has kinda grown on me if I'm honest. Dude's a great actor. But that's about the only example I can think of.
Honestly I don’t think he’s a particularly good actor, I just think he’s charismatic and people like seeing him in movies. But he doesn’t really “disappear” in his roles, he always seems like Idris Alba and people see him and say “I like this guy, he must be a good actor!” I think guys like Gary Oldman or Billy Crudup are good actors because you often can’t even recognize them from movie to movie if you don’t already know they’re in it.
Let's be real here. He is a non-trashy black person. To wokesters, it's either him, that manlet Donald Glover or some femmie gay black dude in high heels. But because he is also neat and well-spoken, non-wokesters are of course okay with him as well, because he is fine.
The BBC said he wasn't really black because he didn't act black. That's one hell of an endorsement.
Gary Oldman is a fucking chameleon.
Tom Hardy has impressed the shit out of me lately as well.
