What Hath Hollywood Wreaked On Richard Grieco?
I know getting old happens to all of us, but what happened to Richard Grieco (remember 21 Jump Street? mmm, Off. Booker) is not a raging case of the old, but rather a raging case of the “Hollywood.”
When Johnny Depp left 21 Jump Street to pursue a real acting career, the execs brought in Richard to fill his “hottie” spot for the young female demographics (of which I belonged, thank you very much). He wasn’t Johnny, but he sure knew how to work those eyebrows.
Then the “Hollywood” hit him. Don’t know what the Hollywood is? Well it consist of a toxic dose of coke, alcohol, skanky whores, neglect, straight to DVD movies, TV spots, living on the edge and most likely some botched plastic surgery.
Richard is 42 years old and looks beat down. Hard. Like with a bat to the face. This kind of thing is deserving of a strongly worded letter to someone. First Mickey Rourke and now Richard Grieco? For pete’s sake, is NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For proof that failure in Hollywood will make you ugly, here’s Johnny Depp, then 24 and now, at age 45. You do the math. Age has nothing to do with what’s happened to Richard.

OMG! Greco was my first pic after Johnny but as you can see, we haven’t seen anything from him but tons of things from Johnny. I admit, I am 32 and I love Johny Depp!

This is just shocking. You hear nothing of Greco for twenty years and then…BANG! Nothing to brag about that’s for sure. I wonder how Johnny does it? Oh I know…he does nothing, he just is. Johnny Depp is perfect in all of his glorious normalcy!

I love Johnny Depp so much, and I love 21 Jump Street, but as though I am not old enough to have seen the series on TV I have bought season 1 and 2 on DVD and am planning to buy 3 4 5, so i havn’t seen Richard Greico in it. Although I have seen heaps of pictures of him when he was young. those pictures of Johny Depp just prove, getting old doesn’t make you ugly!! JOHNNY DEPP IS STILL HOT!

Yes Richard seems to have had his toe (not to mention other parts of his body) in the uber skankified part of Hollywood. (There’s parts???) Well it is obvious to me just look at him!!
Yes not only has success agreed w/ Johnny (physically) but overall.
But Being a lifelong fanof his. There was a point/reason in his life whn he could’ve easily turned into R.G. Then he broke up w/ her and met the lovely Vanessa Paradis!
(ok so it wasn’t all crackwhore Kate) but trust me when he was w/ her it wasn’t good for either of them.
He credits Vanessa Paradis w/ saving his life and giving him a reason to live!! Johnny is awesome and so is Vanessa!!
This just proves what a good woman can do for a man!! HA!!

all mankind has their own perceptions of things the truth though what you see is not what others see in richard grieco and happen to believe that he is still hot after all this years. and to I know through that beauty is only skin deep not outside apperances. I haven’t saw the flesh, I bet anyone of you that the spirit is more then what you appear to see think about it and not with just the mind and oh by the way I think that johnny depp is cute too. I just happen think their is more to richard john grieco j.r. the being.

I am afraid that Richard, by judging from the photographs, has resorted to a hair piece. His receding hairline, which was very evident, even in his early years, has taken a front seat to what used to be an acceptable amount of frontal hair. Unfortunately when you wrap your head up all he time, like Bret Michaels, people look and when you do it all the time like Bret Michaels, people look even harder. Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise, and a select few can throw their hands up and clap out loud, that the Rogaine and lemon juice, though know to work on rats, actually works on an oily head!
