Diggs, Wife Targeted
Apparently, some racist nutjob has targeted Taye Diggs and his wife, Wicked star Idina Menzel.
New York City police have launched a probe to find out who sent three letters to the actors, threatening them because of their interracial marriage.
One of the letters, sent to the League of American Theaters and Producers Wednesday, warned Diggs he faces "bodily harm," according to New York's Newsday. The letter writer vowed to "burn" and "castrate" the African-American actor for marrying Menzel. The person also threatened to burn down the Gershwin Theater, where Menzel currently headlines the hit musical Wicked.
"The letters go on and on about their marriage," an unnamed officer of the NYPD Hate Crimes Unit, which is leading the investigation, tells Newsday. "They say they're each a sellout to their race."
Authorities do not yet have a suspect, but it's believed that more than one person was responsible for the notes. Investigators are trying to trace the letters, which were postmarked from three different locations: New York City, Philadelphia and a town in Ohio.
The letters prompted officials to ramp up security at the Gershwin, with theatergoers' bags subjected to thorough searches and plainclothes officers stationed at the stage door. Menzel performed two shows Sunday accompanined by five guards.
Diggs, meanwhile, is in Canada shooting a movie.
No immediate comment from either of the actors' publicists, but John Moses, a musician for Wicked, is quoted by Newsday as saying the threats were "shocking and upsetting." He also says that Diggs and Menzel are "a very loving couple."
Diggs, 34, swapped vows with Menzel, 33, in January 2003. The native New Yorkers first met in 1996 when they costarred together in the Broadway smash Rent. They later shared billing in the little-seen 2002 film Just a Kiss.
Before landing the lead role in the UPN drama Kevin Hill, which recently received a full-season pickup, Diggs first hit the radar on the strength of a steamy shower scene with Angela Bassett in 1998's How Stella Got Her Groove Back.
Other film credits include: The Best Man (1999), The Way of the Gun (2000) and Malibu's Most Wanted (2003); he also showed off his pipes in the 2002 Oscar-winning musical, Chicago.
Diggs will next be seen on the big screen opposite Heather Graham in the romantic comedy Cake, and is set to reprise his role as Benny, the rotten landlord, in upcoming movie adaptation of Rent.
Menzel's feature credits include the hit indie comedy Kissing Jessica Stein. But her greatest acclaim came with her Tony-winning role as Elphaba the witch in Wicked.
