Idris Elba: 我在《火线》剧组中，直到拿到剧本才得知自己的角色Stringer Bell会死，这体现了演员职业的不确定性。我从英国来到美国发展，期间经历了两年的失业和经济困境，做过DJ和门卫等工作。为了获得《火线》中的角色，我连续四周用美式口音试镜，并最终成功瞒过了剧组。‘说不’的力量让我在好莱坞获得了自由，避免被定型为单一类型的角色。我的家族背景与非洲有着深厚的联系，这影响着我的职业选择和文化认同。我认为非洲拥有成为世界电影产业中心的巨大潜力，我希望未来十年能参与到非洲电影产业的建设中，成为一名导演和制片人，并促进非洲电影走向国际舞台。 Trevor Noah: Idris Elba在美国的奋斗经历让他真正地“活成了美国人”，这与他精湛的美国口音密不可分。我将自己在美国的经历与Idris Elba在美国的经历进行类比，都体现了为了事业发展而融入当地文化的过程。我赞赏Idris Elba在演艺事业中对英国、非洲裔美国人和非洲文化的认同和推广。Idris Elba在事业上保持着感恩和渴望并存的状态。
