However, the multi-hyphenate actor’s road to stardom was a rough one.
Sleeping on friend’s couches and sometimes the No.
1 train, the New York City hopeful would spend his days at auditions.
The famed hip-hop musical would change his life forever, even before it made its way to Broadway.
In fact, Diggs experienced the harmful effects of injustice just days before he made his big break.
“These events keep happening.
It doesn’t change.
And so you live with it.”
“And I’m in that position now because of ‘Hamilton.’
I’m able to say no to a lot of things.”
Diggs voiced Sebastian the crab in Disney’s 2023 highly-anticipated live-action “The Little Mermaid.”
Since 2009, Diggs has also headlined the experimental hip-hop group Clipping.
As for the future of his career, the multi-hyphenate artist is excited to explore even more creative avenues.
Even the opportunity tobring “The Little Mermaid” to a new generationhas opened the doors wider.
“I outpaced my career goals so long ago .
I’ve been on a victory lap for quite a while,” Diggs toldVariety.
