Taye Diggs Forgot He Narrated ‘The Fab Five’ Documentary: "It Was Just a Gig"

"Five Five," honestly one of the best sports documentaries. I went to Michigan State. I don't like, I don't like that other place. You narrated the story. What was that experience like? How did that come about?

If I'm being honest, it was just a gig. I had no idea. I went to Syracuse. I was into theater. You know, I hardly went to any games. But it wasn't until afterwards, after I did the gig and started getting feedback, you know, how important that was. And then I was grateful that I did it, but pissed that I didn't know more while I was doing it. I would've appreciated it more. Do you know what I mean?

Absolutely.

That was strictly just off the art. Totally. It was a gig, literally. Then years later I watched it, didn't know it was me, and was like, it was that bad. I didn't know it was me. I didn't even recognize my voice 'cause it had been so long ago. Somebody else had to tell me. On that trip. That is crazy. I'm not proud of that part. But—

I'm actually proud of it because that means you have no fucking connection to Michigan and that makes me so happy.
