I've had a request. The sheer excellence of Idris Elba, one of the stars of the UK version and the unaired US version of Ultraviolet, has brought people flocking in and now they'd like to see a scene of him in the aforementioned Best Vampire Show ever.
If you've never seen Idris in anything, get hold of a copy of Ultraviolet if you can (Amazon links: Region 1 US DVD release; this is for the Region 2 UK DVD release) or just as good, any of the three seasons of The Wire, which is probably the best, most realistic cop show you'll ever see. Idris, despite being a Hackney native, does a great Baltimore accent. You can also catch The Wire on FX in the UK.
Anyway, here's the clip. It's from Terra Incognita again and is actually the scene preceding the last clip. It's my favourite scene from the whole show and would have been my first choice to demonstrate Ultraviolet's fine qualities if it hadn't been a bit of a spoiler. Plus it runs at six minutes.
If you have any questions, leave a comment!
