'The Rookie': Richard T Jones got into acting after his college professor threatened him with bad grades

Richard T Jones, whose character, Sergeant Wade Grey, in the ABC cop drama 'The Rookie' is much disliked, talks about his nearly three decades of acting

The ABC's latest cop drama 'The Rookie,' debuted on October 16, with a total viewership of 5.4 million, and it's safe to guess not many liked Sergeant Wade Grey.
