Snowfall’s Damson Idris Does His Best Denzel Washington Impression | Ext. Interview | DESUS & MERO

[@sebastianchristopher9461]

When Snowfall ends, that's when Damson's career is going to really begin like it did for Idris when the Wire ended.

[@ChillHous1979]

Maybe.

You can tell this guy is gonna be one of the greats humbleness creates greatness. You can tell he's just being himself , the only way to be.

Yeah sadly Americans won’t accept him fully because UK actors are “taking American actor roles”

Absolutely! That’s how you know. The chill about it all, when he’s showing greatness.

Snowfall is that one show that seems so criminally underrated. Its one of the best shows I've seen that no one really knows about. Watching the growth (good and bad) of Franklin Saint has been amazing.

Damson, Idris, and Denzel in the same movie.... would love to see it.

Idris and Denzel was in "American Gangster." The three of them in a movie will be a box office smash!

This one was even better since he was specifically from the part of England Desus spent time in, so he got to throw in references that Damson was really impressed with.

[@samirahstanford432]

Crazy thing about him, I had a feeling he wasn’t from the west coast, but didn’t get the “feel” that he was from England…until he started taking interviews on other platforms prior to this interview. I have so much admiration and respect on his perfection to the “American” dialect. Such a phenomenal actor on and off stage.
