Idris Elba On Being StringerBell In The Wire

[mathematics]

His role as stringer bell was legendary. I was shocked when I heard his real accent, really shows how talented he is.

[jduwayne]

THE FACT THAT HE COULD HIDE HIS ENGLISH ACCENT & PLAY STRINGER BELL WAS AMAZING!

[JoeyCrakk]

Mcnulty would slip at times and you could catch his accent a lot especially in the first couple of seasons, but Stringer had me thinking he was from America the whole time the way he nailed his American urban accent

[reeco]

Dalston in the 80’s was a rough place!

[rob_bg]

his experience coming up def aligns with Stringer's goals (i.e. not trying to be tough, just trying to run a business)

[curtisstover]

My favorite stringer line is What you think they fitting to go get jobs 😂😂😂

[romanmcghee]

All I want to know is, Where's Wallace, String? Where's the boy?

[jnicemint]

Dalston during those ‘Ranking dread’ days was a very different place

[LeeSmith-wi]

I love stringer and I thought he was a black American at first so I hear his real voice 💪🏾

[romelmadrayart]

Dalston - not Dolston (spelling incorrect). Unsure if is trendy now but back in the day Stoke Newington was the up and coming in Hackney. Dalston was always a bit of rough

[JeanDylanKevin]

LMAO yeah rite like Stringer bell gave a damn that kids would follow him

[rfullwood]

What is with this annoying camera panning back and forth wtf

[Bmac]

The way these British Actors lose the Accent in American Roles is so Incredible.

[Kingbossdon]

Glad Stringer Bell got his in the end he screwed the whole organization

[ImnotassweetasIusedtobe]

What is this camera guy on? Wtf is this terrible annoying camera work?

And poor Idris bringing all the charisma trying to bond with these stone-faced fools playing hard 🙄

[docriley]

That's how it use to be here before Crack!

[lyriccoke]

The kids didn't follow... not in that show.

[cashprice]

Stringer bell was not a nice person lol
