New York native Richard Grieco modelled for fashion houses Chanel, Calvin Klein and Armani before finding fame starring in 21 Jump Street.
He played Detective Dennis Booker in the 1988 TV drama opposite Johnny Depp, 60, in the hit series about undercover officers.
Vince Vaughn also guest-starred in the TV series as Bill Peterson.
He then fronted his own spinoff, Booker, for one series starting in 1989.
The star then returned to his role of Officer Dennis Booker in the 2014 film adaptation, 22 Jump Street.
Yet he now strikes a completely different look – switching his short yet wavy brunette hairstyle for below-the-shoulder locks.
Richard posed for a recent Instagram snap showing his darkened hair in a poker straight style hanging over his shoulders.
He cut a cool figure, pulling on a baseball cap and sunglasses as he posed in a garden.
He sported a stubbled beard and moustache and a T-Shirt featuring a huge crucifix logo, paired with mid-wash jeans.
In his caption, the star wrote: “Saturday pondering about…. Hmmmm many things hope #everyone is having a #great #weekend.”
One fan was quick to remark: “This doesn’t look like you.”
A second put: “Great shot.”
A third then confessed: “You were literally my very first crush.”
Star Quality
Richard has continued to act ever since his days on 21 Jump Street.
He previously appeared in the crime film Exposure and horror flick Anadellia Rises.
He has also featured in It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia – as himself – after starring in 1995 series Marker and 1991 flick, Mobsters.
Airport Arrest
Back in 2019, we reported how Richard was arrested at the airport after being deemed “too drunk to fly.”
He was was allegedly yelling at airline employees and slurring his speech as he tried to fly from Texas to Pennsylvania, according to TMZ.
The star was denied boarding and brought to the attention of cops at Dallas/Forth Worth International Airport after mixing booze with his medication.
He was booked for another flight on the following Friday morning, and insisted to TMZ at the time that the event was an unfortunate incident and “not that big of a deal.”
