Whatever Happened To Tom Ellis From Lucifer?

The murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota caused a wave of protests against police brutality that exploded worldwide in 2020. During this time, Tom Ellis became heavily involved in the movement against racial profiling, and with «Lucifer» being over, he dedicated some of his resources to the cause.

In an interview with Square Mile, Ellis explained how he wanted to use his star power as a voice for those who didn’t have one, and it’s thanks to his wife, Meaghan Oppenheimer. She went to school with Brandon Kyle Goodman, best known for his voice acting in «Big Mouth.» After the murder of George Floyd, Goodman shared his thoughts and experiences as a Black man on Instagram. He would engage in conversations with Oppenheimer, which, in turn, brought Ellis in as well. Ellis decided to use his large platform as a space to spread constructive conversations. Together, they launched Black Folx, a weekly series of conversations between Goodman and other Black guests hosted on Ellis’ popular Instagram account.

For Ellis, it was a chance for him to do some good. «I’ve got quite a big social media following now,» he told Square Mile. «It’s the best thing I’ve ever done with my social media. I want to encourage and invite more conversation like that. Brandon is so brilliantly articulate and just generally compassionate as a person.»
