Na dem latest naijagist, the man wey dey make wave for nollywood and hollywood, Damson Idris, don show us say e no be small paddy paddy. This guy wey begin as Franklin Saint for ‘Snowfall’ don evolve pass just actor levels. E dey carry film like wahala for these days, and people dey watch am well-well.
Idris don sabi hustle for six solid seasons as Franklin, na so e take become the kind actor wey we dey call ‘leading man’—every paddy dey fear wetin go happen next. No be to just be fine boy for camera, na to carry heavy roles like hot yam, and Idris no dey gree carry last!
From the start, e don show say Franklin na dangerous guy, but no be because him dey fight, but because im dey tinker for im head. As the show dey go, this South Central LA gentry come turn to something wey dey darker—proud, relentless, and ready to chop power like e be jollof rice.
Na here we fit see wetin make Idris different. For ‘Farming‘, e play Enitan, wey dem give tough wahala: boy wey dem hand over to oyinbo family, losing his culture and everything. E take that role balance men, give audience something to reason, and you go dey uncomfortable, no lies. He dey force us confront wetin e feel like when you get to lose your whole self for survival—no sweet talk!
Plus, no talk say e no dey shine well for ‘F1: The Movie’. As Joshua Pearce, e bring another side wey dem never really show us before. E know as e go handle the razzmatazz of racing and still make am look real. Na young Black driver wey dey fight for respect in a world wey still dey learn wetin e be to get space for children of the soil.
Harp, wey Idris play for ‘Outside the Wire,’ na another bad guy wey face zanga, but maintain im balance despite the wahala wey dey come im way. E choose to sacrifice few for many, and na dat move wey set the show tone. Wetin dey happen for im mind dey even more important than action!
Idris also don show say e fit groove for horror, though e no dey jump enter am. For ‘Astral,’ e take small role, but no be game wey e dey play for wahala film. Na just to show say e dey ready to try every kind genre, so make we dey pipe low.
And no forget say his acting for ‘Black Mirror’ still dey shake ground. E dey trapped for the back of car, but still manage to make impact wey dey pass many big actors. People dey talk say e be low-key king for this film world, and with dis kind trajectory for him career, e sure say e no go fit come down soon.
So, whether na for ‘Snowfall’ wey make am rise or ‘F1: The Movie’ wey dey boom, Damson Idris don show us say im be correct actor wey sabi. With all dis roles and correct performances, na just the beginning be this. The sky no be limit for am, and we dey ready dey watch wetin e go do next! Cheers to Damson, we dey hail you with palm wine!
