On April 24th, the universe of ABC's Nathan Fillion-starring The Rookie is set to (hopefully) expand when S04E19 "Simone" introduces Niecy Nash (Claws, Reno 911!) in the first of a two-part storyline also set to serve as a backdoor pilot for an FBI-focused spinoff. Nash stars as Simone Clark, a force of nature & the living embodiment of a dream deferred – and (much like Fillion's John Nolan with the LAPD) the oldest rookie in the FBI Academy. Simone has never shied away from a challenge or a fight. She is a single mother of two who put her dreams on hold to make sure her kids pursued their own.
