Ooh, can't wait I'm on season 3.
Wikipedia tells me Michael B. Jordan is in Red Tails too. Might have to actually watch that.
Also, Elba has to be one of my most favorite actors working today so not only will I be seeking out "Mandela" (and rooting for him come Oscar time), but I will also be rooting for him as an actor in Episode VII (just to put this back on topic).
Hell, the Wire's got such a great cast I'd be overjoyed if any of them get into the ST.
