For their latest music video, Mumford & Sons teamed up with the acclaimed British actor Idris Elba (The Wire, Prometheus). He directed and starred in
the clip for "Lover of the Light," from the band's latest release, Babel. The video follows Elba's character, a blind man, through his rigid morning
routine, which he disrupts suddenly when he leaves his walking stick on a coathanger and bounds out into the world on his own. Elba's four senses take
him on a wild journey through fields and woods and right towards the edge of a cliff – and set to Mumford & Sons' stirring song, the video is as
poignant and triumphant as you'd expect.

There was a story today in the Chicago paper...a blurb really about some guy that's robbed a bunch of gas stations (maybe it was something else...but
it matters not) and the police were calling him the Stringer Bell bandit "after the character in the wire"...but didn't mention at all WHY the hell
they were even calling him that.
It's like "lets arbitrarily pick a name to call this guy that will get people interested!"clevohardcore - 11-29-2012 at 02:16 PM
Seriously, this band, two songs and I am already wanting more. Jason the Magnificent - 11-29-2012 at 05:10 PM
Also...Stinger has been in quite a few flicks since the Wire, but you never see Avon. He was in that new Dredd movie, but besides that...BDx13 - 11-29-2012 at 05:28 PM
i feel like that's the case with quite a few actors in ensemble HBO/Sho shows. never seen 'em before the show, never see 'em again after.
