For Simmons, it’s a great experience to use his talents to help start these important discussions within his age group. Everything from colorist dating “preferences,” to differing approaches to activism and allyship, to ideas surrounding sexuality and masculinity has been up for debate through Doug’s storyline. Since his initial introduction to the series, Simmons’ character Doug – the boyfriend of Chlöe Bailey’s character, track star Jazz – has been a primary catalyst to examine multiple hot-button topics facing young people today. Over the course of four seasons, the show has sprinkled a real-world approach to many hot-button topics in between its situational humor. Diggy Simmons’ 2018 bit-part on Freeform’s highly successful Black-ish spinoff, Grown-ish, has grown from a quick conversation starter to a cornerstone of the show’s intertwined plotlines…all due to his palpable on-screen charm and earnest acting.Īs Grown-ish fans already know, the show follows the college coming-of-age story of the Johnson family’s eldest daughter Zoe and her group of friends (and various love interests).
