“I always assumed I was just a placeholder,” Mr. Diggs recalled…….. In person, Mr. Diggs displays none of that braggart sensibility he brings to both Jefferson and Lafayette. He’s quiet, with a shy laugh and a tendency to cough politely before answering a question………“The two hours and 40 minutes we’re on stage makes the most sense. It’s everything else in my life that doesn’t make sense. Like this, sitting right here—no one has ever wanted to talk to me before.”
Behind [Lin during his Grammys acceptance], behind almost everyone, you can just make out the figure of sheepish Daveed Diggs, goofily smiling in the back while raising the peace sign; just happy, it seems, to once again be in the room where it’s all happening. (x)

Cosmo crunches the numbers, examines which of the top 100 actors working today have worked (or not worked) with women directors
Overall, it appears that leading men are generally less likely to work with female directors in their peak salary years. Mark Wahlberg hasn’t acted in a film with a woman director since Penny Marshall gave him his first film role in 1994’s Renaissance Man. Nicolas Cage hasn’t acted in a film directed by a woman since Martha Coolidge gave him his first lead role in 1983’s low-budget Valley Girl. Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey Jr., Adam Sandler, Denzel Washington, and Bruce Willis have not acted in a film directed by a woman in over two decades.
