BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Nathan Fillion is ready for action as a police officer in ABC’s new drama “The Rookie” — up to a point.
Fillion told a TV critics’ meeting Tuesday that his “knees would appreciate it” if he can have a stuntman do the running for him.
The 47-year-old actor joked that at this point in his life, “kneeling is a stunt for me.”
In “The Rookie,” Fillion plays a man whose midlife crisis leads him to the Los Angeles Police Department.
