A reason for this is due to the British class system. Many successful actors in the UK are from a privileged background who had the right connections and networks to land big roles. Those from a lower class are at a disadvantage so they find it easier to get the acclaimed, juicy roles in the US since class is irrelevant here.

AroundTheCorner he said elephant and castle just said the and really fast

[@sarabeyll]

@@katyeleri8797 nah it was Jimmy who kept saying Elephant Castle. It jarred my spirit

[@tonyahandy7170]

I watch Snowfall and have never miss a single episode and I STILL forget he's British every single time until I run across something like this to remind me again, lol.

[@TeKeyaKrystal]

never heard of this man & typically don’t watch Kimmel , but I saw a nice looking chocolate man & clicked 😋

[@diagonalesupernova6483]

Girl your thirsty!

[@Smileybiotch237]

Dude, same.

[@adeleriley845]

T.K. Same

[@JaeSmooveTV]

You ain’t never watched Snowfall? Cool lol show. Oh wait, you wrote this a year ago. Maybe you know what’s up by now.

[@slnevilles]

T.K. Me w

[@allgemini05]

This made my day! This dude is so talented. I love Snowfall!

[@ObeyAmmalol]

Omg he is really good I'm actually interested in watching the show

[@PiLarTheStarlet]

He’s adorable.

[@sebeku2]

You are telling me they had to go to Peckham, S England to find a brother to play a drug dealer in S Central LA???!!

[@ayoalli6998]

sebeku2 whats wrong with that

[@mburl13]

Kenny Alli so many black americans could have played that role...and not have to waste time doin speech dialect classes or learning american culture.

[@mikeyalexandre]

sebeku2 he's a big talent, doesn't matter where he's from, black British or black american we all win

[@kaneiahwilliams192]

Schwag Music Yea, just like Marvel could've picked any African/British to play Black Panther instead of wasting on Black American trying to practice the African dialect/accent down...seriously?

[@ayoalli6998]

kaneiah williams exactly

[@jaime17000]

Wow, this dude speaking in a British accent is wild! SnowFall is very underrated.

[@MorganMingo70]

"Oh my Gosh there's a gangster waiting for me downstairs!" 😂😂😂

[@mropinatedfromchicago971]

U gotta be kidding me his voice is really like this wow we have no real American actors wow

[@bob_0146]

nah we do. Idk why they keep casting British people tho. Not that there’s anything wrong with it

[@jmphuhuck9735]

I normally ask the same question when the cast people in their 30s as students

[@azih8626]

well Americans got to step their game up, british must be doing something right. i think its to do with the actor training for one, lat i checked uk actors need to work in theatre before acting gigs in tv or film.

[@ktwine7994]

You do, British people just tend to be more talented, it's good to see that America is finally realising this

[@user-db2tz9hg8f]

K Twine what are you trying to say people talent are based on their nationality shut up you make no sense.

[@DivaDen]

As a huge Dub C fan I love his impersonation. "He took me to a restaurant called popeyes" 😂😂 WHAT?!

[@kekeluvxxx8119]

The way he described elephant and castle, was so precise

[@kJ922-h3j]

Apart from missing the and part lol or Jimmy just didn’t hear it once

[@davidfbrush]

Up the elephant and around the castle, it's a South London thing!

[@Bmore2Htown]

*Best. Dialect. Coach. EVARRR!* 😂😂

[@michaelmcmanus4018]

“Elephant castle? Really?” “Yea, elephant caustle” 😭😭

[@yellowstar68]

I notice that lol

[@v15haal]

yeah it's actually called Elephant & Castle

[@Rogerthatx10]

Tried to make it sound more crazy. Elephant AND Castle. One simple trip on the underground you would realise.

[@chefboird3007]

Bar-Bar 😂

[@shill1444]

I'm sold! Whatever this kid is in, I'm watching from now on. Brilliant work. LOL

[@MarcellusX]

s Hill “snowfall” on season 3 🔥🔥🔥

[@shill1444]

@@MarcellusX - okay thanks. I'm on it. Saw the spots a dozen times and didn't bother to watch. That's the show from John Singleton. Cool.

[@CBuehler82]

Props to Kimmel for knowing who Westside Connection is

[@TrippTrippy]

SnowFall Is my fav new show

[@waypoet2609]

He’s a great actor I loved his role in snowfall

[@latyshal.2286]

This man is a great actor! I love his show Snowfall. The manner in which he plays his character Frank got me believing he was really about that life.

[@Panamaschild]

Shout out to WC! A real West Coast O.G.!

[@black76561]

he's right about Elephant & Castle area... there's a huge pink elephant in central shopping centre.. 😂😂

[@vijaydanushkodi4980]

I’ve never been to that part of London but you can kind of clue me in, is it a bit rough or is it an upscale part of London.

[@alwaysbefifi]

@@vijaydanushkodi4980 definitely more rough but very safe to live in and many links to great restaurants and central London. The shopping centre is pure trash tho.. needed to have been renovated YEARS ago

[@Whoisb_]

It’s crazy how effortlessly he switches

[@kingsnorkie]

I don't know what's crazier, the fact that he's from the UK or that his dialect coach is Dub C! 🤯
