Deadline

Diggs, who recurred on the Fox drama as Angelo DuBois, says the decision to write out the actor was made too quickly. "If I am being honest, the smart thing would be to bring him back and, and let it interweave it into the, into the show, you know?” Diggs said on Inside The Black Actor’s Studio on Afterbuzz TV. “I feel like, people, I may get in trouble for saying this, but they’re so quick to just, uh, to leave, to leave these people. You know what I mean? So quick to, to fire them, so quick to kind of, you know, throw them away as opposed to, you know, taking their time and, maybe letting it, let it, let it work toward, you know, the program or the job, or, you’d probably get to the bottom of it if he, if he stuck around.”
