Taye Diggs interview
Diggs guests on Conan and talks about the possibility of starring in the Magic Mike sequel. He also discusses his desire to play a Marvel super hero on-screen as well as his soft spot for touching commercials.
It’s embarrassing. It shows all these guys in these wheelchairs and they’re talking about teamwork and whatnot, and how it’s not just for one person, and everybody has to be a team. And then at the end of the commercial, you realize everybody gets up from the wheelchairs except one dude, and you realize all these people were playing basketball with the dude on the wheelchair, and they were all playing in the wheelchair to make him feel included.
