Richard Grieco on 22 Jump Street, Abstract Emotionalism and Coming Out as an Artist

Great interview on Studio 11 LA. Richard talks about his appearance in 22 Jump Street, the original 21 Jump Street series and his artwork. He even gets in a mention of The Apostate, a movie he appeared in with Dennis Hopper many years ago, during which Hopper encouraged him to go public with his painting. If you haven't seen that one, it's worth a watch, albeit definitely creepy. Los Angeles News | FOX 11 LA KTTV

I'll be honest. I haven't seen 22 Jump Street yet.

I'm on my way to do that now. But, I've been waiting quite a while to write this post.

Back in November, I received confirmation from a very reliable source that Richard Grieco would be making an appearance in the sequel to Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill's 21 Jump Street movie--but, that it wasn't going to be publicly confirmed before the movie released.

So, I've been biting my tongue (and eagerly awaiting the movie), even when some skeezy set jockey sold the tip and several publications ran the story.

But, the day is here. If life (obligations with children and all that) hadn't intervened, I'd have seen the movie already.  Many of you have. So, we're free to talk about it.

Unfortunately, I don't have anything to say, since I'm just on my way out to see the movie now. Stay tuned, though. I'll be updating late tonight.

Update: I've seen the movie now and...well...it turns out that I'm not going to be updating this post after all. There's nothing I can tell you except that if you have any sense of humor at all, you should go see this movie.

New Richard Grieco Interview

It's no surprise that a publication with the subtitle "Charity Meets Style" would get around to interviewing Richard Grieco.

"Miss A" talked to Grieco about his charitable involvements, including The Wolf Connection, Cops4Causes and Fueled by the Fallen.

She was kind enough to share a nice screen cap from everyone's favorite episode of Booker, too.
