Taye Diggs is returning to the stage (sort of!). The Broadway alum has been tapped for Topher Grace’s previously reported musical comedy One Shot. According to Deadline, the film is scheduled to start shooting in December in Mexico City.
One Shot follows a failed Great White Way alum (Grace) who now stage manages productions and is working on a new show. Diggs will play Malcolm, a flamboyant member of the cast.
Diggs has appeared on Broadway in Wicked, Chicago, Rent and Carousel. His screen credits include How Stella Got Her Groove Back, The Wood, Ally McBeal, Private Practice, Murder in the First, The Good Wife, The Best Man and 2013's hit sequel The Best Man Holiday.
