The comedy hit 21 Jump Street in 2012 led by Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill featured surprise cameos by Johnny Depp and Peter DeLuise, who starred in the original 1980s television series. And according to a new report, the sequel, 22 Jump Street, could feature a few more cameo appearances.

Radar Online has posted an exclusive report and claimed that Richard Grieco, who played Detective Dennis Booker alongside Depp in the original TV show, filmed a cameo appearance in the film on set in New Orleans. According to the report, Grieco will play the same character in the movie.

"It was so cool to see Richard back in action. He even cut his hair for the role and brought back some of his iconic swag items, which you'll see when the movie comes out," the inside source told Radar, who reportedly was on set in New Orleans. "He seemed so stoked to be back in front of the camera with Channing and Jonah."

Radar Online had previously reported that Brad Pitt would also make a cameo in the film as himself, but with a twist. According to the report, the 50-year-old actor plays himself, but as a low-paid university librarian. As Jenko (Tatum) and Schmidt (Hill) investigate the college campus on which they are working a case, they encounter Pitt, who purposely does some not-so-great acting. The two cops then take the chance to poke fun at his acting ability, or lack thereof.

"The scene is very funny and the guys had a great time doing it," a source told Radar. "Brad was a great sport and the producers were thrilled that he took part."
