Tony Winner Daveed Diggs Takes On Jam-Packed Post-HAMILTON TV & Film Schedule

Daveed Diggs, who took his final HAMILTON bows last week, will no longer have to wonder "What did I miss?" The Tony winner is already headed towards a jam-packed film and TV schedule in the upcoming months.

As BWW reported last week, the star will appear in Andy Samberg and MurRay Miller's upcoming HBO mockumentary TOUR DE PHARMACY, about doping in the professional cycling community. Will Forte, Julia Ormond, Phylicia Rashad, Dolph Lundgren, John Cena, Mike Tyson and Nathan Fielder round out the cast.

In addition, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the rapper, who took on the dual role of Thomas Jefferson and the Marquis de Lafayette in the smash Broadway musical, has also signed on for the feature length film WONDER, an adaptation of R.J. Palacio Young Adult novel. Diggs will take on the role of a teacher in the film which also stars Jacob Tremblay, Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson and Noah Jupe. Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being a Wallflower) will direct from a script by Jack Thorne and Steve Conrad.

The film will follow Auggie Pullman, "a young boy born with a facial deformity who encounters bullies as he attends school for the first time as a fifth grader at private school Beecher Prep."

Diggs's credits include, national tour: Word Becomes Flesh. Regional: In the Red and Brown Water, Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train, The Tempest, Troilus and Cressida, Mirrors in Every Corner.
