As wise-cracking author Richard Castle in the long-running US crime series Castle, Nathan Fillion was constantly sticking his nose into police investigations, to the annoyance of his partner in crime-solving, detective Kate Beckett.

In his latest TV incarnation, the 47-year-old actor gets to play detective for real as the oldest new recruit on the LA police force.

In The Rookie, Fillion plays 40-year-old divorcé John Nolan, who makes the life-changing decision to become a cop. After witnessing a bank robbery, he decides to close his construction company and move to California to start his life all over again.
