He plays himself in an uncredited appearance (archival footage) as well as is played by Topher Grace.

I wonder if that sits well with him given the many interviews about him by Topher Grace that Topher believes to be an honest assessment of the Grand Wizard?

Idris Elba would have made a great David Duke.

After all he did threaten to kill people via Twitter.

Idrissa Akuna Elba OBE is an English actor, writer, producer, rapper, singer, songwriter and DJ

David Ernest Duke is an American white supremacist, far-right politician, convicted felon, and former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. He has advocated Neo-Nazi and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories like Holocaust denial and Jewish control of academia, the press, and the financial system. The Anti-Defamation League has described Duke as "perhaps America’s most well-known racist and anti-Semite".

Hmmmmm, what is the context and how should the two individuals be appropriately compared?
