Brooklyn Nin-Nine has effectively developed a huge fanbase for its police procedure comedy genre. When the show was canceled, fans rallied together to bring it back to life for the following season. Fans fell in love with its comical main characters, who can be a bit out of the ordinary.
The show has some familiar faces, as well as some new ones, including Andy Samberg, Terry Crews, and Chelsea Peretti. You can't help but fall in love with Rosa's (Stephanie Beatriz) cold exterior and Holt's (Andre Braugher) no-nonsense attitude. But, before these actors took on their roles, they already had a list of projects under their belt. Let's take a look at the main cast's previous work.
10 Marc Evan Jackson: The Good Place
Marc Evan Jackson is better known as Dr.Kevin Cozner, Holt's husband. Holt found his perfect match in Kevin for their eerily similar personas. Jackson has been seen in much more notable television series including playing Shawn in the show The Good Place. If you a Parks & Rec fan, he played Trevor Nelsson.
Jackson not only dominates television, but he also dominates the big screen. He played a minor role as Principal Bentley in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and played Chris Wallace in Bombshell.
9 Joel Mckinnon Miller: Big Love
Oh, Scully. Making up one-half of the laziest veteran detectives in the Nine-Nine is Earl Scully played by actor Joel Mckinnon Miller. Before becoming the beloved character, Miller wasn't a stranger to playing roles on television.
