I didn&#8217;t know I wanted to be an actor, but once it found me I looked at whom people were saying were great. I looked at who I wanted to be like. Not just in acting, but in their personal life as well. Being a well-rounded person, a fine example of good taste and prestige and class, that&#8217;s what I really chased, so he was the person that did it for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"inline-icon\"> <\/span> Upcoming Birthday<\/h2>\n<p>\n                            Currently, Damson Idris is 30 years, 0 months and 20 days old.
