21 Jump Street

21 Jump Street

21 Jump Street was a show in the late 80’s that spawned a bunch of teen idols. It was about young undercover cops who could pass as teens. These cops would go undercover at schools and other places teens hang out and bust drug deals, sexual predators, and other dastardly crimes.

The show starred Johnny Depp, Holly Robinson, Peter DeLuise, Dustin Nguyen, Richard Grieco, and Michael Bendetti.

Johnny Depp was always the first choice to play Officer Tom Hanson, but Depp turned down the role. He didn’t want to do television. Jeff Yagher was then cast to play Tom Hanson but the powers that be did not love his performance. They then wanted Josh Brolin but decided to try Depp one more time. Depp accepted the role and the scenes that Jeff Yagher had already shot were reshot. This is similar to the Michael J. Fox/Eric Stoltz/Marty McFly role in Back To The Future.

Trivia

Guest Stars

 

I don’t remember ever watching 21 Jump Street nor was I a big fan of Johnny Depp. The show sounds like something I would enjoy so not sure why I didn’t get into it. I was in college at the time this ran, so maybe that has something to do with it. Did you watch it? Were you a fan?

I hope you enjoyed learning a bit about 21 Jump Street. Thanks for reading.
