dailydaveeddiggs:“I love that ‘Black-ish’ is a pretty traditional sitcom, structurally. It functions like the sitcoms from the ’80s and ’90s that I grew up with,” he said. “But it also manages to be honest and a little bit subversive in how it points out the workings of our world today. … So it feels like home, and then lands really great points, and has teaching moments.” “Some people get a Broadway show, and that’s their end game, and they want to sit there for as long as possible,” he said. “And some people have other things they want to do with their life. I had given all of myself for the last two-plus years to this experience, and I felt like I did what I could do with it. (It was) time for somebody else to come in there and make it brand new. … We made it something that people really want to be a part of, and it’s going to last for a long time. I’m very, very proud of that.” “I’ve never done anything like [‘Black-ish’] before and that’s really the decision-making process for me right now,” he said. “I had this great experience, and I’m not going to try to copy that. So what are things I’ve never done before? What are the kinds of things that I would love to get an opportunity to try, and is there a world in which I can do that?” - Oakland’s Daveed Diggs takes on post-‘Hamilton’ projects -- source link
