While promoting his hit show Luther, Idris opened up about believing that further diversification is still needed in the entertainment industry.

“People are aware of the issues that are faced. It’s one of these problems that won’t get fixed overnight but I think it’s progressively getting better,” Idris told The Guardian. “The BBC and Luther are very supportive of diversity, especially behind and in front of the camera. It’s important to keep trying.”
