The Search: 10 Black Actors Who Could Replace Idris Elba As Our Collective Man Crush

- By

Ger Duany

Origins: South Sudan

Most Recognizable Roles: Stephen Nimieri in one of my favorite existentialist comedies I Heart Huckabees;  Restless City.

What Makes Him a Good Elba Replacement: Besides being tall, dark and very handsome (seriously try not to droll over his piercing brown eyes in this IMDB pic) he also has an amazing story of survival (being a former child soldier in the Second Sudanese Civil War turned refugee in Ethiopia turned model and eventually actor in Hollywood), which makes even the most cool-hearted sistas wanna breakdown and fall in love with this dude.
