While Daveed and Taye don't share a family tree or a bloodline, they do have several things in common. They've both had successful entertainment careers that span everything from Broadway musicals to mainstream Hollywood movies. While you may immediately think "Hamilton" upon hearing Daveed Diggs' name, as he played Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson in the ultra-famous musical and won a Tony for that performance (via IMDb), Taye Diggs also appeared in a very famous stage production when he played the cruel landlord in the 1996 production of Rent (via The Famous People). Interestingly, Taye starred in Rent again when it became a major motion picture in 2005, and he was even nominated for a Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Ensemble Cast.
In addition to their film and stage roles, both performers have also appeared in major television shows. Daveed had a recurring role on comedy Blackish from 2016 to 2018 (via IMDb), and Taye was on shows like long-running soap opera Guiding Light and in episodes of popular series like Law and Order and The West Wing (via The Famous People).
So, while these two phenomenal performers aren't likely to ever appear around that family dinner table together, we think it's safe to say they will continue to appear on screens and stages, much to the joy of their fans.
