Idris Elber played in the movie "Obsessed" in which he also played a well to do black man with a strong business sense. With Idris Elber's slight British accent he gives the appearance of a really snobby black man in which George certainly played in "Raisin in the Sun". George is really arrogant and always corrects people, especially Beneatha such as when he said to Ruth about Beneatha, "Oh, it's just a college girls way of calling someone an Uncle Tom- but that isn't what it means at all".
This is one of the first times for George to be meeting Beneatha's family and if he's putting his best face on, he has alot to be desired. He'srude and looks down upon everyone around him, including Beneatha. He was also very rude when he first met Walter and refused to shake his hand, saying "Black brother, hell!" as he walked away. Yes, Idris Elber is a srong actor and would definitely play George well.
