Better actor: Idris Elba or Mahershala Ali

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Idris is crazy good

Ali.

I want to see Ali in a leading role first before I make that call glad he got True Detective season 3 later this year.

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Luther is his best work

 

[CouldBeWorse]

Elba is great. I haven't seen much of Ali but he was pretty outstanding in Moonlight.

That's a good comparison, they both have a strong cool factor. I haven't seen The Wire though, so any opinion I'd have would be incomplete.

Elba. Ali ain't really been that good outside of House of Cards. Overrated in Moonlight and Luke Cage.

Elba but Ali is pretty great too.

Idris...but he picks a lot of bad and lackluster movies.

 

[Lootpack]

It's bouncin' back

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Idris even if he can't hold an American accent for shyt anymore lol

From experience alone I have to say Idris. Luther being his best work but Ali has the potential to be even better.
