Fond memories of watching this chap on British TV.

Walker and Big Dris are both towers of strength but their acting is different.
Walker is closer to Tom Hardy in his method, he's viscerally intense. But can play vulnerable when he needs to. Thoroughly enjoyed his awkward Lothario routine when he makes his second marriage proposal on Chicago Fire.
Idris is a throwback, he's very much an "old school" actor, he's a black Burt Lancaster in my POV.
He could easily pull off this scene (doesn't The Chairman look puny).

Totally agree - Very similar looking and talented actors

Funny you mention two of my favorite black actors. I love both of these men and would be honored to have a date with either one or a miracle to spend a weekend with them.
