Idris Elba, The Office

Idris Elba's first appearance on The Office came in the episode titled New Boss where he played the role of Charles Miner, the new VP of the Northeast region for Dunder Mifflin. At first, he and Michael Scott, branch manager, got along pretty well but eventually, they were at odds in the office.

Idris made an appearance in seven episodes during his time on The Office. He interacted with Dwight Shrute, Jim Halpert and many other well known characters in the show.

If you haven't seen an episode of The Office, we would highly recommend it. It's a great show and you can binge watch it on many different platforms. As a DJ, wedding DJ specifically, we have had couples ask us to play the theme song from the office for ceremony exits, or for introductions of the wedding party. If you're a big fan, you may want to incorporate it into your own wedding and your deejay can help you do that. Hey, maybe you could invite Idris as a guest, who knows, maybe he'd show up as his character from The Office.

Idris Elba, The Wire

Idris Elba played Stringer Bell on The Wire, full name was Russell "Stringer" Bell. Stringer is a drug dealer who rises to the top of the Barksdale Organization as second in command. He's involved in many crimes ranging from money laundering to drug dealing and many others. It's a great show and if you haven't seen it, we would definitely recommend it. It's addicting, no pun intended.

Idris' character first made an appearance in an episode called The Target, but appeared in three seasons of the show. The Wire takes place in Baltimore where there is a very large DJ scene. Many of the places mentioned in the show are familiar to DJs in Baltimore.

If you're looking for a great show and are a fan, you'll want to watch everything that features Idris Elba. The Wire doesn't disappoint. You can find it on many streaming platforms and watch all the episodes.
