Taye Diggs to Star in Indie Romantic Drama ‘Another Man’s Wife’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Taye Diggs, whose run of romantic films includes classics like “The Best Man,” “Brown Sugar” and “The Wood,” is returning to the genre with the indie feature “Another Man’s Wife.”

Diggs stars opposite Sydney Mitchell (“Black Mafia Family,” “First Wives Club”) and Moritz J. Williams (“P-Valley,” “Kingdom Business”). Diggs plays Brendan, a millionaire who makes a shocking offer to a married couple in crisis, Maya (Mitchell) and Shawn (Williams), who are financially devastated and caring for a terminally ill parent. As the film’s logline explains, “What begins as an act of survival spirals into a high-stakes emotional reckoning about trust, love and the ultimate cost of sacrifice.”

“Another Man’s Wife” is directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Viere NiBlack-Gray from a screenplay by Briana Cole. The project, which recently wrapped filming in Atlanta, is executive produced by Doug Schwab of Maverick Entertainment and J. Carter of Freeli Films.

Diggs, whose stage and screen credits also include “All-American,” “Private Practice,” “How Stella Got Her Groove Back” and the original cast of Broadway’s “Rent,” most recently starred in Lifetime’s “Terry McMillan Presents: Forever.” Last month, Lifetime acquired a second McMillan movie, “His, Hers & Ours,” also starring Diggs, as part of an ongoing franchise collaboration with the New York Times bestselling author. Later this summer, Diggs returns to Broadway to join the cast of “Moulin Rouge!” He is represented by Range Media Partners.

Mitchell is represented by Vision Entertainment and The Dulcedo Agency and Williams is repped by Trè Thomas at BROWN BYO Management.
