There are few current television shows that have been more of an underdog story that The CW’s sports drama All American, which despite not bringing in large numbers for the network, became a streaming juggernaut when the show’s first two seasons were added to Netflix’s library. With an inspirational story based on the upbringing of former NFL linebacker Spencer Paysinger and a phenomenal cast of established stars and newcomers alike, it’s safe to say the upcoming third season has potential to take everyone to the next level. Speaking of which, as we look toward the new campaign from the series, now’s the perfect time to catch up with the All American cast on Instagram.
Why Instagram? Well, now more than ever before, celebrities are making the most of their social media outlets to spread word about shows like All American or, like Taye Diggs did in fall 2020, provide up-to-date information on the production process, especially while dealing with COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Here is where you can find Diggs and the rest of the All American cast on the popular photo-based social channel.
Daniel Ezra (Spencer James)
Daniel Ezra, who stars in All American as star wide receiver caught between two worlds, Spencer James, isn’t the most active member of the cast when it comes to Instagram. When he does, however, Ezra tends to use the platform to not only promote the show (which returns for Season 3 in January 2021), but to spread awareness about issues close to his heart. Whether he’s discussing issues pertaining to police brutality, race relations, and even mental heath, Ezra provides his one million followers with honest and thoughtful conversations about the world outside of the show.
