Born on January 24, 1982, Daveed Diggs came from humble beginnings. His mother was a Jewish social worker, while his father was an African-American bus driver. Diggs attended Berkeley High School as a teenager and earned a degree in theater arts from Brown University in 2004.
In addition to his artistic talents, Diggs was also a star athlete and broke the university record in the 110-meter hurdle as a college student. While he initially became a teacher, it was his talent and passion for theater that attracted him to his current career. Diggs initially found fame via his role in the Broadway play Hamilton. He won a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Feature Role in a Musical in 2016, which led to roles across film and television.
Since 2016, the actor has been seen in multiple major projects. This includes the sitcom Black-ish, dystopian thriller Snowpiercer, and movies such as Wonder, Velvet Buzzsaw, and the live-action version of The Little Mermaid.
His most prominent work is the film Blindspotting, which Diggs co-wrote, produced, and also starred in. He went on to create a spinoff series of the same name. Diggs is also a voice actor. He has lent his voice in projects such as Central Park, Invincible, and Star Trek: Prodigy.
