The Rookie Video: Alan Tudyk Teaches Nolan How to "Wash" a Crime Scene

[Ubiquitous]

The Rookie learns a thing or two about bioremediation (i.e. crime scene
clean-up) in this exclusive sneak peek featuring guest star/Firefly
alum Alan Tudyk.

In the episode “Clean Cut” (airing Sunday at 10/9c on ABC), Officer
Nolan (played by Nathan Fillion) kicks-off his birthday by… babysitting
a crime scene at a law office. [Sad trombone] In the clip above, just
as his cell phone battery hits the dreaded zero percent, Nolan makes
the acquaintance of crime scene cleaner Ellroy Basso (played by Tudyk),
who is quite a character.

What tips does Ellroy have to share about his presumed-“weird” line of
work? And how will his offer to break bread with the famished LAPD
officer be received? Press play for all that and more.

Tudyk is the second Firefly alum to pay Fillion’s Rookie a visit; last
season, Sean Maher guest-starred in an episode. And it was a little
over a year ago that ABC “revived” Firefly via an episode of American
Housewife, in which Fillion channeled his former alter ego, spaceship
captain Mal Reynolds. Long before that, Fillion plugged several of his
Firefly peeps — including Jewel Staite, Adam Baldwin, Gina Torres and
Summer Glau — into episodes of his previous ABC drama, Castle.

Elsewhere in this Sunday’s episode of the sophomore procedural,
Officers Bradford and West are set to receive special awards, while
Sgt. Grey rides patrol with Officer Harper after she requests an early
annual evaluation.
