Starting their careers in their teenage years, Joel McKinnon Miller and Dirk Blocker found international success with the roles of Scully and Hitchcock in ‘Brooklyn 99.’ While their performances as the duo received award nominations, the two didn’t appear together in the series’ last season.

The last season of ‘Brooklyn 99,’ filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, showed Blocker’s character mostly through Facetime, citing the reason as Hitchcock’s retirement to Brazil. While no official statement has detailed why the actor was not present on set, some reports suggested possible health concerns due to the virus.

As the show ended by keeping the duo physically apart for the most part, the actors went their separate careers. But, in an interview he gave to Living Lutheran after the finale, McKinnon Miller mentioned still being recognized for their parts by saying:

“Getting recognized by people is flattering because it’s nice to hear people like what you do. Once, in San Francisco, a woman asked me if I was Scully from Brooklyn Nine-Nine. We took a photo, and then I like to ask people their names and where they’re from. She said she was from Trinidad. I couldn’t believe someone from Trinidad knew all about our show.”

The Scully actor followed his ‘Brooklyn 99’ tenure with a role in five episodes of ‘The Staircase’ and a guest appearance in ‘Station 19’ during its sixth season. Dirk Blocker, on the other hand, didn’t appear in new projects and touched on the possibility of retiring once, although he didn’t make it official.

Joe Lo Truglio recently joined the SDR Show and talk about the role he is best known for, ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s Charles Boyle. During the conversation, he revealed the other actors who he competed with for the role.

In the interview, Ralph Sutton asked Truglio if he remembered who else auditioned for the Charles Boyle role. The actor then gave the names he was chosen over:

“Yeah, one was an incredible iconic name, Jon Glaser, who is just phenomenal, and someone that ended up being on the show in a pretty big part, Marc Evan Jackson, Holt’s husband. I’m forgetting a couple of others. It’s so funny with these things; it’s like it is what it is. You landed in; so many people could have done this role. I’m glad that I was the one that they chose, but that’s just how it played out.”

Truglio also recalled his favorite cold open in the series:

“My favorite is the one with Jake and Boyle about Dianne Wiest. We’re going back and forth, staring each other down because, at the time, the show is so fast and so quick with its cutting, and it’s very verbal. There’s just a moment that we’re just cutting back and forth between reactions that I think is really hilarious.“

As reported by TheThings, ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s creators had a different approach to casting: they wanted an open casting call to give talented actors who weren’t that famous a chance to be chosen. So, it seems Lo Truglio had other contenders for the role as well.

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s eighth and final season premiered on August 12, 2021. Joe Lo Truglio recently made his directional debut with ‘Outpost,’ a psychological horror film that also stars his real-life partner, Beth Dover.
