It’s been over 20 years since the gang of “21 Jump Street” has been on the air, but next month we’ll be seeing a reprise of the popular TV series on the big screen.
Unfortunately for fans of the original, we won’t be seeing Johnny Depp and Peter DeLuise in the drivers seat, but instead Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill will take the reigns as partners Jenko and Schmidt going undercover for a local high school drug sting.
We’re not sure how the action-comedy will fare with fans of the cop show given Ice Cube’s role as Captain Dickson; however, we are excited that original cast members Depp and Holly Robinson Peete will be making guest appearances in the film.
With the remake due out March 16, here's a look back at the original cast and what they're up to now.
Holly Robinson Peete (Officer Judy Hoffs)
The only original cast member who stayed through the show's entire five seasons, Holly Robinson Peete went on to other TV series "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper" and "For Your Love."
In 1995, Peete married former NFL player Rodney Peete and the couple have four children together. After her son was diagnosed with Autism, Peete founded the non-profit HollyRod Foundation in 1997, which gives support to families with autism.
In 2010, Peete played for her organization on "Celebrity Apprentice," finishing as runner-up to singer Bret Michaels.
After being fired from CBS' "The Talk," Peete now stars on the network's hit comedy "Mike & Molly."
Dustin Nguyen (Officer HT (Harry Truman) Loki)
Dustin Nguyen is also known for "V.I.P.," starring Pamela Anderson as a mistaken bodyguard. Really.
Recently, you may have recognized him opposite Cate Blanchett in 2005's "Little Fish."
Sadly, Nguyen's wife was left a quadriplegic after a car accident in 2001. Since then, both have been a part of The Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center.
Steven Williams (Captain Adam Fuller)
Despite a recurring role on "The X-Files," Steven Williams is most known as the guest stars king, appearing in 32 titles from "L.A. Heat" to "Desperate Housewives" and "Cold Case."
Currently, he stars on the CW show "Supernatural."
