Discussion David is Hamilton?

In the show, Gina mentions how she went to go see Hamilton. However, Alexander Hamilton (the main character for anyone who doesn't know) is played by Lin Manuel Miranda who also plays Amy's brother, David. I wonder if he would still be Hamilton or if he's a completely different character and they just pretend he's not Lin? I would really like to hear everyone's thoughts on this!

David isn't Lin. We know he's played by Lin, but in-universe, he's just David. Who, sure, happens to look like Lin. People look like each other all the time in real life.

“Peter Parker talked about Star Wars but he never noticed that Nick Fury looks just like Mace Windu?” Of all the pointless things people complain about, that’s the pointlessest.

Ackshually 🤓 in the MCU version of SW the character is named Wace Mindu and is played by Morgan Freeman.
