British Actors You Should Know: Tom Ellis

If you follow social media, you may have recently seen the trending hashtags #saveLucifer or #pickupLucifer. It was announced earlier this month that the FOX network’s crime fantasy series, Lucifer, was cancelled after its third season (which ended on a cliff hanger, of course). Subsequently, fans, producers and cast members took to Twitter to try and rescue the show from the chopping block.

Leading the pack has been the show’s star, Welsh actor Tom Ellis, who plays the titular Lucifer. He’s been relentlessly campaigning for the show’s revival alongside its enthusiastic devotees. While making an appearance at the London MCM Comic Con this past weekend, the actor announced that discussions are in place to resuscitate the series.

“Conversations have started happening as a result of the noise that you guys have been making, so all I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you.”
