I have only seen a few movies that have included Taye Diggs in the cast, but I’m seeing a pattern emerge:
- The first Diggs trip that I took was Equilibrium, in which he portrays a Grammaton Cleric that serves double duty, both in viciously upholding the laws against evocation of human emotion that have been set forth by The Man as well as attempting to out his partner as a “sense offender.”
- I’m sitting here watching movies from the Cat Lady’s collection today while waiting for her to return from her trip. I’ve just finished up Rent, in which Mr. Diggs plays the role of the musical’s villain, as it were, Benny the landlord, who is contantly screwing over his tenants, who are also his former flatmates.
- I’ve seen Malibu’s Most Wanted, and while I don’t remember much of it, I do recall that Taye plays an actor in the film, and he has been hired by the leading role’s father to play the part of a TRU THUG in order to show his son the error of his ways.
So, I ask you … is Taye Diggs always typecast as the show’s leading asshole?
