Tony Winner Daveed Diggs Lands Big Role in Third Season of ABC's Black-ish

Daveed Diggs certainly isn’t throwing away his shot! The Tony winner, who recently departed gargantuan Broadway hit Hamilton, has been tapped for the third season of ABC’s Black-ish. Variety reports that he’ll appear as Rainbow Johnson’s brother, Johan.

Johan will be a laid-back hipster type, who is obsessed with his hair and a couple of trips he's taken to France (we know he can do the accent!). Diggs’ character is set to make his debut early in the third season, which goes into production shortly. The series is scheduled to make its bow on ABC on September 21.

As we previously reported, other projects on Diggs’ horizon include HBO sports mockumentary Tour de Pharmacy and the movie Wonder opposite Julia Roberts.
