What is Daveed Diggs' net worth? 'Snowpiercer' star is also a rapper and film producer
Season 3 of 'Snowpiercer' is chugging towards New Eden, and shows the Resistance at the helm of things. Beginning with the daring rescue of Asha (Archie Panjabi) from the desolate Nuclear Nest, the latest season of the TNT post-apocalyptic drama 'Snowpiercer' has taken quite a few twists and turns since its premiere in January.
The previous episode, titled 'Bound By One Track,' saw Mr Wilford (Sean Bean) being held in a cell after surrendering to Layton (Daveed Diggs) and the Resistance. He keeps having visions of Melanie Cavill (Jennifer Connelly) and appears to be concerned about Alex (Rowan Blanchard), who is out on a risky mission with Ben. Layton tries to convince the train about setting a course to New Eden and asks Asha to do her bit in the negotiations but receives a lukewarm response as people don't buy his vision entirely. He also finds out that Zarah (Sheila Vand) has genetically altered their unborn child at the behest of Mr Wilford.
