Stephen Diggs has been in the acting business for more than a decade. However, he’s only recently started to make a name for himself as an actor. His most prominent role so far is that of a fictionalized version of himself in HBO’s “Ballers,” which follows the lives and loves of professional football players after their careers end. In season four of Ballers, a new character named Stephen Diggs comes into the picture. He plays himself and is essentially a stand-in for the real-life actor with the same name who appears in front of the camera rather than behind it. Read on to learn more about Stephen Diggs, his role on Ballers, and what we can expect from him moving forward.
Who is Stephen Diggs?
Stephen Diggs is a Canadian actor who has been in the business for over a decade. He’s appeared in shows like The Blacklist and Blue Bloods, and he’s also done a fair bit of work behind the camera as a producer and director. Diggs has a long history of working with Mark Wahlberg, having appeared in three of his films. He’s also worked with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson on both Ballers and the movie adaptation of the video game franchise Rampage. Diggs is also a model, having signed with agencies in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Toronto, and Vancouver. He’s become increasingly recognizable over the past few years, which has led to him being cast in higher-profile roles. On Ballers, Diggs plays a fictionalized version of himself, a self-absorbed fashion designer who dates the super-famous Simone.
What is Stephen Diggs’ role on Ballers?
Stephen Diggs is a new character on Ballers in season four, but he’s also an updated version of an older cast member. Portrayed by the real-life actor named Stephen Diggs, he is essentially a stand-in for Diggs in the same way that Spencer is a stand-in for Charles S., better known as Charles Bagliano. When Diggs first joined Ballers, it seemed as if he’d be taking over for Charles as the main antagonist of the show. However, the new Stephen Diggs has proven to be less of a villain and more of a narcissistic, self-involved nuisance. Season four ends with Diggs revealing that he and Spencer have been dating, which throws Charles’s life into an even bigger tailspin than usual. This could be a hint that the next season of Ballers will continue with the Charles vs. Spencer feud while also bringing the new Stephen Diggs into the mix.
Why does everyone think Stephen Diggs and Spencer are dating?
The relationship between the characters played by real-life actors Stephen Diggs and Spencer Cusson is one of the most confusing aspects of Ballers. Fans have been speculating that there’s something more going on between these two since the show first aired. Diggs and Cusson play characters who are in a relationship. In the show’s universe, they are fashion designers who are good friends but also intensely jealous of each other. They are also both gay, which is a major plot point on Ballers. That last part is what has led many fans to assume that Stephen Diggs and Spencer Cusson are actually dating in real life. This isn’t just some internet conspiracy theory, either; there have been tabloid reports that Diggs and Cusson are dating. Diggs and Cusson have never officially addressed the relationship rumors, but fans have noticed that they occasionally post photos together on social media.
What does the future hold for Stephen Diggs on Ballers?
It’s impossible to say for certain what the future will hold for Stephen Diggs on the show. However, we do know how his character arc ends in season four. Catching up with Diggs and Simone’s relationship, the two of them get engaged in the finale. However, when Simone gets a phone call from Charles, she chooses to stay with him instead of marrying Diggs. The fact that Diggs ends the season engaged to Simone and that Cusson is real-life dating Diggs, some fans are speculating that there could be a wedding in the show’s future. The best prediction we can make is that the new Stephen Diggs will continue to be a recurring character on Ballers. That’s the role that Cusson originally filled, and it makes sense for Diggs to fill the same role now that he’s come into the show.
Final words
All in all, it’s safe to say that there is a lot to look forward to when it comes to Stephen Diggs’ future on Ballers. From the ongoing feud between Charles and Spencer to the question of whether or not the new Stephen Diggs will become the new fashion king of Miami, there are many ways that Diggs’ story arc could develop.
