Damson Idris is a British actor and producer. Born in 1991 in Peckham South East London to Nigerian parents, he is the youngest of six children. His parents arrived in the UK in search of a better life but he was raised by his single mother, who instilled in him ambition and hard work from a young age. Being the youngest he enjoyed entertaining family and friends and it was obvious early on how natural his talent was for the Arts. His dream nonetheless was to become a professional football player. He also played rugby and in 2002 he shook the hand of Queen Elizabeth II when his team took part in her Golden Jubilee. It wasn't until a knee injury that he began to seriously consider a career in acting.
He studied Theatre, Film & Television Studies at Brunel university in England, where he attained a BA Honours degree. He soon after trained at the Identity School of Acting.
His acting debut in 2012 was on the stages of UK theaters. Idris played the role of Sam in Khadija Is 18 at the Finborough theatre. Written by newcomer Shamser Sinha, it tells the story of the life of two young refugees in the UK and the hopes and heartbreak of the young. The play received great reviews and became a critics choice. The same year Idris starred in Ade Solanke's play Pandora's Box at the Arcola Theatre, before going on a national tour with the production. He offers a charismatic performance as Tope, whose mother forcibly enrolls him to a boarding school in Lagos. The play reveals the long-suppressed truths when a family spanning three generations meet in Lagos for the first time in over thirty years. This followed with a role in Hotel (2014) at the Royal National Theatre.
Developing his acting on the stage and feeding off the positive reaction of the live audience, he felt confident to branch into the small screen. He was cast in small roles in several British TV series including Miranda (2009), Doctors (2000) and Casualty (1986). It wasn't until 2017 that Idris made his Hollywood debut starring as the lead, 'Franklin Saint' a young street entrepreneur in hit FX Crime series Snowfall (2017). It captures the early days of the crack cocaine epidemic during the 1980's in Los Angeles. The series has received critical acclaim and forms one of the last productions of the late Producer and Director John Singleton.
Having firmly proved his acting ability Idris continued to explore TV roles that resonates with the challenges in modern society. In his role in the 'Replay' episode of Producer/Director Jordan Peeles reboot of The Twilight Zone (2019) series, he played Dorian Harrison a College kid faced with a racist interaction with a police officer, whose mother tries to save his life over and over again by rewinding time.

For his first film lead role in 2018 as Enitan in autobiographical Farming (2018), he played his most challenging role yet, the feared leader of a white skinhead gang.

Born in Kansas City, Missouri on September 19, 1982, Columbus Keith Short, Jr., started entertaining at the age of three, by putting on shows for his folks' enjoyment. Whether impersonating relatives, dancing or just making people laugh, everyone sensed something special about the boy. Fortunately, his family later relocated to Los Angeles where, by his early teens. His mother, Janette, runs a talent agency there.
Columbus landed work in such television commercial campaigns as "Mountain Dew", "Denny's Restaurant", "Nike" and "Pizza Hut", to name a few. As a senior in high school, he was offered an opportunity to graduate two months early in order to see the world with the traveling production of the Broadway show, "Stomp!" And, after a couple of years on the road with that famed dance troop, he would parlay his professional success into a stint as the choreographer of Britney Spears' "In the Zone" tour. Though a very versatile Renaissance Man who is also a writer, musician and director, Columbus came off the road to pursue his primary passion, namely, acting. His motion picture credits include You Got Served (2004), War of the Worlds (2005), Save the Last Dance 2 (2006). In addition, he has guest-starred on TV shows like ER (1994), Judging Amy (1999) and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (2006). But, his big break arrived earlier this year, when he played the lead role of "DJ" in Stomp the Yard (2007), which was #1 at the box office two weeks in a row and grossed over $73.4 million. Now one of the most-sought emerging talents in Hollywood, Columbus can next be seen in a lead role, alongside Lauren London and Mekhi Phifer, in a holiday film called This Christmas (2007). Furthermore, he recently wrapped a starring role in the Warner Brothers thriller, Whiteout (2009), opposite Kate Beckinsale. When not working, Columbus loves football, basketball and snowboarding.
