You might think that Daveed Diggs would crave a lengthy stretch of chill-out time after a highly rewarding, but grueling run in the Broadway sensation “Hamilton.” You would be wrong.

The Oakland actor-rapper, who took his final curtain call for “Hamilton” in July, has already started a multi-episode guest appearance on the ABC sitcom “Black-ish” and has lined up roles in Andy Samberg’s sports doping mockumentary “Tour de Pharmacy” and the Julia Roberts film “Wonder.” Also, his hip-hop trio, Clipping, released a new album (“Splendor and Misery”) just last month.

In “Black-ish,” Diggs plays Johan, the younger brother of Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross). An entitled hipster, he has moved in with the Johnson family after living abroad for a couple years and is already getting on the nerves of Dre (Anthony Anderson).

Diggs, 34, recently told reporters at the TV critics press tour that he has been a big fan of the Emmy-nominated sitcom since it premiered in 2014.

“I love that ‘Black-ish’ is a pretty traditional sitcom, structurally. It functions like the sitcoms from the ’80s and ’90s that I grew up with,” he said. “But it also manages to be honest and a little bit subversive in how it points out the workings of our world today. … So it feels like home, and then lands really great points, and has teaching moments.”

In Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton,” Diggs played the Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson. It was, of course, a fabulous ride. He won Tony and Grammy awards, performed at the White House and achieved a mind-blowing sort of fame. So why walk away?

“Some people get a Broadway show, and that’s their end game, and they want to sit there for as long as possible,” he said. “And some people have other things they want to do with their life. I had given all of myself for the last two-plus years to this experience, and I felt like I did what I could do with it. (It was) time for somebody else to come in there and make it brand new. … We made it something that people really want to be a part of, and it’s going to last for a long time. I’m very, very proud of that.”

Diggs, a graduate of Berkeley High School, said “Black-ish” is indicative of the kind of projects he now wants to embrace — things that take him in exciting new directions.

“I’ve never done anything like it before and that’s really the decision-making process for me right now,” he said. “I had this great experience, and I’m not going to try to copy that. So what are things I’ve never done before? What are the kinds of things that I would love to get an opportunity to try, and is there a world in which I can do that?”

But take heart, “Hamilton” fans. You can catch glimpses of Diggs in his former role later this month when PBS airs “Hamilton’s America” (9 p.m., Oct. 21). It’s a documentary film that gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the creation and execution of the Broadway hit, and examines its subject, Alexander Hamilton.
