Andre Layton is very far removed from those stage iterations of historical figures, minus the whole part about being a revolutionary that’s integral to sparking change within their respective communities.
Sad to hear Snowpiercer won’t utilize the singing abilities of Daveed Diggs, who has seen renewed popularity after Hamilton recently debuted on Disney+.
The role of Layton provides an opportunity for audiences to see Diggs further expanding his range as an actor outside of the uber-famous Broadway musical.
It’s completely understandable, howeve, given the actor’s past comments on being typecast as his Hamilton characters.
