Damson Idris, a fast-rising 29-year-old British actor, spent $3.85 M on a recently renovated home in a wealthy neighborhood in the foothills above L.A.’s Studio City.

In 2018, Idris co-starred opposite Kate Beckinsale in the underrated coming-of-age picture “Farming” and in the Netflix sci-fi action thriller “Outside the Wire.” Idris rose to fame and money with his part as a teenage L.A. dealer in the FX crime thriller “Snowfall.” Idris will produce the fifth season of “Snowfall” next year.

 

 

 

The five-bedroom, 4.5-bath two-story home sits well above the street on a plateau of more than a quarter of an acre notched into a steep hillside.

It was built in 1964 and extensively updated in recent years.
