21 Jump Street Jumps to the Big Screen—What Have the Original Cast Members Been up To?
Although the big-screen version 21 Jump Street (and sequel 22 Jump Street) is going for comedy, the original Fox series was more dramatic. If you've forgotten, or never saw it, you can watch the original 21 Jump Street online for free via Hulu. It's all very '80s—the clothes, the hair, the drug dealers that look like extras from a Michael Jackson video. The show, which debuted 27 years ago as the first hour-long series on the fledgling Fox Network, comes across as a mixture of after-school special, music video, and character-driven drama, with plenty of mild humor thrown in. We all know what happened to some of the original Jump Street cast, such as Holly Robinson Peete, and Mr. Johnny Depp. But what about the rest of the squad? Read on to find out! By Brett Singer

Holly Robinson Peete—Today
Other than Johnny Depp, Holly Robinson Peete has had the best post-Jump Street career out of all the 21 Jump Street alums. She had regular roles on numerous TV series, including Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper (1992-1997), For Your Love (1998-2002), and currently on CBS’s Mike & Molly. She was one of the original hosts of The Talk; after being let go from the daytime chatfest Robinson Peete took roles on Mike & Molly and Instant Mom. She also reprised her role for a cameo in 21 Jump Stree.
