Taye Diggs lined up for 'Anatomy' spinoff

Taye Diggs has been lined up to star in a spinoff from Grey's Anatomy.

The actor, known for roles in Kevin Hill and RENT and most recently seen in Day Break, will make his entrance to the highly successful medical drama as a guest-star in a two hour episode that could be used as a springboard for a spinoff if ABC decides to proceed with the project.

Rumours of a Grey's spinoff surfaced on Wednesday when the Wall Street Journal indicated that a show based on the character of Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepard, played by Kate Walsh, was under consideration.
