The show "21 Jump Street" focused on a group of detectives who looked young for their age and posed as high-school and college students to catch the bad guys. Holly Robinson Peete played detective Judy Hoffs for all 103 episodes, starting in April 1987 and ending in 1991. "I loved '21 Jump Street,'" Peete told Yahoo Entertainment. "It was just super ahead of its time, whether it was LGBT, guns in school. We were ahead of our game."
Along with "21 Jump Street" being a series first for Peete, it was also the first regular gig for another famous face: Johnny Depp. The actress recalled her first impressions of the show when they first started filming. "I felt the iconic vibes of a real juggernaut," she explained to Variety. "Then I met Johnny Depp. I remember thinking, 'Holy sh*t. This is going to blow up. And it did."
When Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum starred in the movie version of the series in 2012, Peete popped in for a cameo to reprise her role, one she gladly claims. "It was a special show," she told Yahoo Entertainment. "I'm super proud of it."
