Bustle’s article published on March 23, 2023 which was written by Ira Madison III touches on Damson Idris being a household name or fan favourite.
Damson Idris is a British-born Nigerian actor who currently stars on John Singleton’s crime drama Snowfall, which debuted 5 July 2017 on FX. He also played the co-lead in Netflix’s sci-fi action film Outside the Wire (2021). A few years ago, if you uttered Damson Idris’ name, someone might respond with “Who?” But now, with the success of Snowfall, a viral role in Donald Glover’s Swarm, and a new relationship with model Lori Harvey, he’s a full-blown celebrity. If not yet a household name, Idris is certainly one of your favorite celebrity’s favorite celebrities.
Here are some snippets of the Bustle publication:
Damson shares on the comparison between The Wire and Snowball:
Idris says, “I just think there’s a lot of content today, and people constantly need to be entertained. The Wire had a bunch of scenes and episodes where two people or three or four could just be talking and nothing happens. And everyone walks away like, ‘Oh, my gosh, that was the greatest episode in the world.’ But in today’s TV climate, if someone isn’t getting their head shot in the first three minutes, all of a sudden it’s the worst episode in the world. And it’s boring.”
Damson on his relationship with Lori Harvey and His Family keeping him grounded:
Idris is tight-lipped about their romance. “I can’t talk about my girl; that’s the only thing [I can’t talk about],” he says.
He says his family keeps him grounded by saying, essentially, keep your business private. “Anytime anything’s come out in the press that might have been a bit negative, that might have stunned me, that I might not have predicted or calculated or been prepared for, I call my mother up.”
