Richard Grieco at the LA Sharknado Screening

No, Richard Grieco wasn't in Sharknado, but he did show up for the LA screening. Whether that's just because Richard loves movies (he's said so many times, and he attends a lot of premieres) or because he recently worked with Sharknado writer Thunder Levin on AE: Apocalypse Earth.

I'm mentioning this for only one reason: I think you might enjoy the photo of Richard at the event, decked out as usual in a nice shirt, hat, jewelry...and a pair of jeans bearing a fairly significant quantity of pink paint. (You'll have to scroll down through the photos to see it)

Good to see that now that Grieco's out of the closet, he's showing his inner artist everywhere he goes.

Booker All Grown Up

I don't always see Dennis Booker in Richard Grieco, which makes perfect sense--though they shared the same body (at least temporarily), characters and the actors who bring them to life aren't one and the same.
 

Sometimes I'll catch a glimpse, though, and never more so than in MovieFone's shots of Richard at the 21 Jump Street premiere. Again, I guess that makes sense. It was no coincidence that Grieco showed up to the premiere in black leather, with hair shorter than we've seen it since 1990.

Clearly, he was reprising his role (and I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was happy to see it. If you haven't checked them out, MovieFone has a whole gallery of shots from that night, including about 15 of Grieco arriving in a police car and on the street outside the venue. I personally recommend # 12, wherein we learn through visuals that Richard has spent most of the years since we saw him in the original 21 Jump Street at the gym.

On a side note, Grieco looks to be having fun with premieres whether or not he has an associated character. 

The picture at the left is from the premiere of The Raven.  If you saw the film, the look will probably strike you as quite appropriate (even familiar)--and it wouldn't be the only time.

AceShowBiz has shots of Grieco from several different premieres, and more often than not he looks to be in the spirit of the film.
