Taye Diggs

Taye Diggs is yet another perfect example of an actor who can bring Blade to life, even if he does lack martial arts experience. He is a skilled actor who’s made a name for himself on the silver screen, in movies that include Equilibrium (opposite Christian Bale) and Chicago.

He has appeared in quite a few TV series as well, most recently in The Good Wife and Private Practice. And yes – he might appear to be a softy, but he isn’t. It’s just the way he presents himself to the world – what can you expect from someone who grew up in a family of artists?

Also, he looks pretty awesome when holding a katana – even though he didn’t know how to wield it in that particular movie. As far as I am concerned, Taye Diggs has everything needed in order to portray Blade.

Everything except for a signed contract.
