Despite making his first appearance on-screen ten years ago, Idris is still considered to be in the early years of his career, perhaps due to his limited screen time. His most significant contribution has been as a central cast member of the crime drama "Snowfall" since 2017; it airs its series finale in 2023.

Little is known about Idris' romantic life. However, beginning in December 2022, his dating status shot into the headlines after speculations surfaced that he was dating model and businesswoman Lori Harvey. Lori is famous for her exploits in the entertainment and modeling industries and has some very famous exes.

"It's just watching other people that I admire do it so greatly and just understanding that you don't always have to show the world your personal life. What you do for a living is an extension of yourself, and that's your baby. And you need to protect that. You also need to protect your personal self too."
