Richard Grieco's rise to fame was more than 30 years ago, and he has certainly undergone some changes since then. The 59-year-old actor first captured hearts with his role as Detective Dennis Booker on the hit show 21 Jump Street, which aired from 1987 to 1991 and produced an impressive 103 episodes. The show followed the lives of undercover police officers as they investigated crimes in schools, gangs, and other teenage settings. The show's success even inspired two films starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill.
Fans of the original show were delighted to see Richard make a brief cameo in the film adaptations, along with his co-star Johnny Depp. In his days as a fresh-faced actor on the show, Richard sported a clean-shaven look and a voluminous quiff hairstyle. But now, in a recent photo shared on his Instagram, Richard is seen with shoulder-length hair and a full-grown beard. The actor looks unrecognizable from his days on 21 Jump Street, but it seems his fans have matured with him and still appreciate his new aesthetic.
In the photo, Richard can be seen wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses while gazing off into the distance. In the caption, he mentions that he's pondering about many things, which sparked a flurry of comments from his 20k followers. Some were shocked by his new look, with one fan writing, "This doesn't look like you." Others fondly reminisced about his character on 21 Jump Street, with one fan asking, "Booker??? Where is he?"
After his time on the show, Richard moved away from Hollywood and pursued a career in music and art. Some fans even commented on his post, praising his new interests and expressing their love for his work. Richard's good looks also landed him modeling gigs for prestigious brands like Armani, Calvin Klein, and Chanel. But his true passion lies in music, with his Instagram bio directing fans to listen to his song "Six Feet Away." He also sells his abstract artwork, which he calls "Abstract Emotionalism," on a website linked to his profile.
But like any celebrity, Richard has had his fair share of controversies. In 2019, he made headlines when he was refused permission to fly from Texas to Pennsylvania due to intoxication. However, the actor brushed it off as an unfortunate incident that wasn't a big deal. Despite any bumps in the road, Richard continues to keep his fans updated on social media and remains dedicated to his creative pursuits.
From soap operas to hit TV shows and films, Richard has certainly made his mark in the entertainment industry. And while his looks may have changed over the years, his fans' love and support have remained constant.
