Taye Diggs got his start in the professional performing arts world on stage, not on screen. He had a successful Broadway career with roles in Carousel and Rent before he appeared in his first TV roles in 1996. He has become such a prolific film and TV actor since then that many might forget that hes a song and dance man first.

Diggs first big screen break was with the romance How Stella Got Her Groove Back in 1998. Hes been nonstop as an actor and writer ever since. In fact, in addition to all his work on screen, Diggs has also written four childrens books and founded a dance company. With all of his creative talent, its no wonder that he has worked on so many great movies and TV shows.

Stephen Bochco knows a lot about how to make a successful cop drama, as proven with hit shows like “Hill Street Blues” and “NYPD Blue.” His latest project, TNT”s “Murder in the First,” which he co-created with Eric Lodal, is looking to expand the boundaries of the traditional police procedural by having his detectives spend the entire ten-episode season on a single case. Also read: TNT Reveals Summer Slate of 10 Original Series Bochco tried something similar in 1995 with the legal drama “Murder One,” which utilized the same season-long case conceit for its first season. But while that one didn't connect.

Earlier this spring, the complete run of "Hill Street Blues" was released on DVD, and it was remarkable to see just how well the groundbreaking cop drama held up three decades later. Some elements of it felt dated, but on the whole, you could find common DNA with many of this century's best dramas. That's because for a long stretch in the '80s and '90s, "Hill Street" co-creator Steven Bochco was way out ahead of the curve, experimenting with what was and wasn't possible within the confines of a broadcast network drama, and in the process paving the way for this cable golden age in which we live. "Hill Street" popularized multi-layered, morally complex serialized storytelling in primetime. "NYPD Blue" broke down the barriers between network and cable with its raw language, sexuality and criminal subject matter, and the popularity of Andy Sipowicz (who would've been a villain...

The show, which stars Taye Diggs, Kathleen Robertson and Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy in the "Harry Potter" movies), is scheduled to premiere in 2014. The season will run for 10 episodes.

He co-created "Murder One," which followed a high-profile murder trial for a full season, for ABC in 1995.
