Taye Diggs, aka OBC Benny, was
featured in Entertainment Weekly's
It
List issue (6.26.98). Here's what the text said:
Groovemeister: Taye Diggs
Age: 26
Why him? In the blink
of an audition,
the former
Rent-ster
became
Angela
Bassett's much-buzzed-about costar
in the adaptation of
Terry
McMillan's
How Stella Got Her Groove Back,
due in August.
Weirdest career moment: "Doing a
scene with Angela [and]
being
hit
with the fact that I was standing
across from a movie star.
It
was
pretty trippy."
Next? The dark comedy
GO, Doug
Liman's follow-up to
Swingers.
