HBO’s hit show Girls has picked up lots of momentum over the last couple seasons and has drawn a diverse group of fans — among them is actor Idris Elba.

Elba is admittedly a big admirer of the comedy-drama series — so much so that he tweeted the show’s creator, Lena Dunham, and pitched himself to join the cast.

Moments later, Dunham responded:

Tune into Girls on HBO Sunday nights at  10/9 c and see if the British actor ever decides to make an appearance.
