New Episode of Andy Samberg’s ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ Season 2: Old Spice Terry Crews Talks Fox Series [SPOILERS]

Tonight Andy Samberg’s, hit Fox series, Brooklyn Nine-Nine returns with the premiere episode of its second season. Terry Crews (Old Spice commercials, Blended) is opening up about how the show writers understand him.

The official plot synopsis for tonight’s Season 2 premiere episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, titled “Undercover,” reads:

“In the second season opener, Jake learns that one mafioso escaped a sting, so he teams up with Charles to go after the gangster. Back at the precinct, Capt. Holt subjects the team to practice drills.”

Terry Crews, recently opened up to Rolling Stone about his role on the series:

“I actually had two other pilots coming at me real hard. We had some decisions to make. [Executive producers] Mike [Schur] and Dan [Goor] called me up and said, 'Terry, we know you haven't read a script yet, because we're still working on it, but your character's name is Terry. We hope you have a doppelganger, because whoever gets this part is going to be named Terry.’ They were taking things out of my life. I told them how I enjoyed driving a minivan, that it was the perfect car for a family--they put that in the show. The fact that I was scared to get hurt when I was in the NFL because I was wondering how my kids were going to survive--they switched that around to the anxiety of police work. It was so cool; no one had ever done that. Brooklyn is the first show that gets me. What usually happens if you're a big black dude is that you get big black jokes.”

Be sure to check out the Season 2 premiere of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, tonight at 8:30 on Fox.
