Black dude from the Knick could be a major player in the future and he's from America.
as a black british man myself i wish my mum sent me to drama/theatre school 
Pretty much, it's not just a black thing.
You just don't really notice it unless you either see the actor in some other project or hear them in an interview. Like I had no idea Charlie Hunnam from SOA was from the UK until I saw Green Street Hooligans. The only difference with black British actors is that they're easier to spot because they tend to have traditional African names.

Nobody Lives Forever
I thought that too at first but later on in the series the moment he was accepted he stopped being a boss and became a butler. The actor also took a backseat storyline and air time wise too

I mean while we're at it part of the whole "acting" thing is playing other nationalities ... and per capita it does indeed seem British Actors >>> American Actors, which is understandable given the country's rich thespian tradition.
