That's the Catch-22 of playing a character so well on an iconic tv show...it puts you on the map but it also sets the standard for how people recognize you.

I can tell that Idris bristled a bit when the "Stringer Bell" question came. But I don't know if he will ever be able to stop people(media, fans, etc) from making references to that character.

cont.. I cannot wait to watch the second season! Oh yeah if anyone is wondering there will be a third season of Luther that will come out later this year so look for it!

looking at the next dark knight

@50ztej yup same here. Some things need to stay the way they are. We can come up with a spy of our own. Or try to get our hands on an american remake of the adventures of OSS117 played by jean dujardin and have a black spy. But please, bond is white and it's good the way it is. They should cast fassbender for next Bond.

Im black and even i think its stupid to have a black james bond, keep white things white and black things black.

@swagboi7 I'll be succinct & say I pretty much disagree with everything you said.

And before you tell me to 'get over it' again, understand this is an opinion and not a deep emotional issue.

[swagboi7]

@mellaLee21 white man can't make real talented classy african/black music or being real dark/brown skin black men in black community or black history ( except maybe only for dumb sellout black women smh! ) just like black man can't be in white history or culture and play a white man's characters get over it, it is a normal situation!

[mellaLee21]

@swagboi7 I understand what you're saying, but there are some characters that I think are tied to their race, and others who are not. If it's a non-fiction character, then it should DEFINITELY be racially true.

Shaft, OTOH, is tied to being Black American because that's what created the foundation of the character. Bond, however was more a smooth Brit instead of a White man.

So, I'd be more open to a multi cultural Bond- the main hallmarks of the character have little to do with race.
