The Rookie: Richard T Jones' biggest challenge was to find fault in Nathan Fillion's character

Richard T Jones who plays Sergeant Wade Grey in the upcoming ABC crime drama talks exclusively to Meaww about his role and how difficult it is to be mad at the Canadian-born actor

ABC crime drama 'The Rookie' airs on October 16, and while Nathan Fillion’s return to television was much anticipated as the good-cop, we catch up with his on-screen nemesis, Richard T Jones, who, however, cannot give us any dirt on the 'Castle' star. 

"I wish I had dirt for you. But I don't. He is fabulous," says Richard T Jones, who plays  Sergeant Wade Grey, a Los Angeles Police Department watch commander, who rivals 40-year-old rookie John Nolan, played by Fillion.
