Daveed Diggs
March 5, 2022 @ 8:00 pm
Tony, Grammy, and Lucille Lortel Award-winning actor, writer, producer and musician Daveed Diggs is widely known for the Broadway sensation Hamilton for which he won a Tony Award. The Hamilton movie, which was filmed onstage at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in June 2016 and features Diggs and his castmates, is streaming on Disney+. Diggs’s performance in the film earned him a 2021 Emmy Nomination for “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie” and a SAG Award Nomination for “Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries.”
Diggs co-wrote, produced, and starred in the critically acclaimed Lionsgate feature Blindspotting, which Peter DeBruge at Variety called “the most exciting cinematic take on contemporary race relations since Do the Right Thing nearly 30 years ago.” Eric Kohn of IndieWire deemed Diggs as “an instant movie star,” and he received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for his performance. Obama also included the film on the 2018 edition of his favorite movies of the year.
