'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
PUBLISHED OCT 23, 2018

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. As an antagonist to the hero of the show, John Nolan, played by Nathan Fillion, Richard T Jones almost immediately qualified as a character we would like to dislike.

As Meaww sat down for an exclusive interview with Jones, he had absolutely no dirt to spill on Fillion and his on-screen character. So, before the world comes to hate the much-dedicated and tough Grey, let us look at the actor who plays him and his journey to bagging the role opposite Fillion.
