That time Rafael Casal and Daveed “Lafayette” Diggs were Calvin and Hobbes in a webseries. “With tousled hair and a striped T-shirt, Casal himself plays Calvin. Rapper-actor Daveed Diggs, now renowned for originating the roles of Lafayette and Jefferson in Hamilton, portrays Hobbes, donning striped pants and a fuzzy coat to resemble a toy tiger come to life. The dialogue is pure Watterson, like this existential debate, which plays like an outtake from Waiting For Godot.” (Thanks, Stephanie!)
