It's the late 1980s and the final countdown is on for a legendary Hollywood rock club facing its demise at the hands of eager developers.

And will it be lights out for the club and all the regulars and rockers who have made it their home?

Taye Diggs got his big break originating the role of the nasty landlord Benny in Jonathan Larson's Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning Rent. After Rent he appeared as Mr. Black alongside Idina Menzel's Kate in Andrew Lippa's off-Broadway production of The Wild Party. Diggs also played Billy Flynn in the long-running Broadway revival of Chicago and temporarily filled in for Norbert Leo Butz (an original Rent standby) as the love interest Fiyero of Idina Menzel's Elphaba character in Wicked.
Diggs then moved from stage to television and film, appearing in Guiding Light, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Go, The Wood, The Best Man, The House on Haunted Hill, the 2005 Rent film. Diggs co-stars opposite Kate Walsh in Private Practice, the fall 2007 spin-off of Grey's Anatomy. Diggs had a guest role on "The West Wing" as a secret service agent in charge of the security detail for the president's daughter.
