Career

Idris met actress Cathy Tyson, who encouraged him to speak with Ade Solanke and audition for a role in her play, Pandora's Box, at Brunel. He loved the role, partnered with an agent, and began appearing in more plays. He has studied at the Identity School of Acting, which was established by Femi Oguns. Idris, who appeared at the Royal National Theatre in London, has opted to pursue television and film roles. Miranda (2013), Doctors (2015), and Casualty (2015) were among his British television appearances.

Franklin Saint, an up-and-coming 19-year-old drug dealer in Los Angeles, appeared in John Singleton's FX crime drama Snowfall, which premiered in July 2017. Snowfall's first season, which takes place in 1983 as the US is on the brink of the crack cocaine epidemic, weaves together the lives of several characters whose lives will soon collide due to drugs. Idris auditioned in London on video before heading out to Los Angeles, where he worked with Singleton, who wanted to ensure that Idris had mastery of the accent. He worked with rapper WC, who trained him on not only an authentic accent but also the demeanors specific to South Central Los Angeles. Idris' performance has received rave reviews; TV Guide's Malcolm Venable called him "nothing less impressive." In July 2018, Snowfall's second series, which was set in 1984, premiered in July 2018.

Idris appeared in the British thriller City of Tiny Lights, starring Riz Ahmed, for his first big screen role in 2016. In 2017, he made his American film debut in Megan Leavey alongside Kate Mara, who plays the title role in the eponymous war film. In the 2018 film The Commuter With Liam Neeson, Idris also appears as an FBI agent, and she appeared in Farming with Kate Beckinsale. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, a Nigerian-British actor who produced the film, has a semi-autobiographical tale about farming. Idris portrays his stern foster mother in the late twentieth century, who, like many Nigerian people in the late twentieth century, was "armed out" to a white family in the United Kingdom in the hopes of a happier life, while Beckinsale portrays his strict foster mother. Damson received the Best Actor in a British Film at the Edinburgh Film Festival in 2019 for his portrayal. In "Smithereens," the second episode of the anthology series Black Mirror's fifth season, he appears.
