Actor Idris Elba said his role as Walter in his new semi-autobiographical comedy ‘In The Long Run’ was like therapy to him in the context of his father’s death. According to report, Elba said it was ’emotional’ playing the part because there were such strong parallels with his own father who passed away four years ago. “My dad only passed about four years ago. It was emotional. Dressing up like him, it was good therapy. My dad was quite funny and a life of the party kind of guy,” he said.
