Idris Elba (born September 6, 1972) is a British television, theatre and film actor who has starred in both British and American productions. Idris is also a DJ under the moniker DJ Big Driis / Big Driis the Londoner, and a hip-hop soul recording artist. He's the only child of a Sierra Leone father and a Ghanaian mother. Idris was born and raised in Hackney, London, England. He has one daughter named Isan.

He has a large female fan following and thus appeared on the cover of Essence's "Hot Hollywood Men" issue, April 2004 and again in Essence's November 2005 "10 Hottest Men on the Planet" issue.

Idris started acting in secondary school with encouragement from his drama teacher, on whom he also had a crush. He got his break as a supporting cast member of UK soap opera Family Affairs, but is perhaps best known for playing Stringer Bell, one of the major characters in the HBO drama series "The Wire". He also portrayed Captain Augustin Muganza in Sometimes in April, another film about the Rwandan Genocide and somewhat similar to Hotel Rwanda.

He recorded the four-song EP Big Man for Hevlar Records in 2006.
