Daveed Diggs, who originated the Tony-winning dual roles of Marquis de LaFayette and Thomas Jefferson in the Broadway phenomenon Hamilton , will have a big arc in Black-ish 's Season 3, Variety reports. Diggs play Rainbow Johnson's ( Tracee Elliss Ross )brother Johan, who, like his sister, has many of the laid-back, free-spirited traits their mom passed down. That, of course, is a contrast to the upbringing of Rainbow's husband Dre ( Anthony Anderson ) who grew up in the decidedly-not-posh South Central L.A. and is constantly trying to ensure his kids don't grow up too pampered and privileged. The most important TV moments of 2016 so far "He's sort of a hipster, entitled kid who gets on Dre's nerves," creator Kenya Barris told Variety. "He's constantly on a search for the best conditioner for his hair. He's probably gone to Penn or Wharton and could have gotten a great-paying job, but he's trying to find himself. That attitude more than anything makes Dre want to strangle him." The french connection from Diggs' Hamilton will also cross-over to the Black-ish. Diggs plays a character who has his own affinity for French culture - having gone to Paris and turning his nose up at certain American customs. Johan becomes a hero to the kids, except for the too-savvy-for-her-age Diane ( Marsai Martin ). Johan is expected to arrive early in Season 3. Black-ish was recently nominated for 3 Primetime Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy Series. Season 3 kicks off on Sept. 21 on ABC.
