Johnny Depp May Cameo in 21 Jump Street Film

Johnny Depp is reportedly poised to cameo in 21 Jump Street, the show that made him a star, in Columbia's feature film version of the 1980s TV classic.

Deadline claims "plans are being made for him to set aside a day to shoot one, but I'm not sure what his role will be." Depp appeared on the series from 1987–1990 as Officer Tom Hanson, one of the youthful-looking cops sent undercover to bust criminals in high schools.

The site also claims James' brother Dave Franco has been cast as "Eric, the most popular kid in school, who also happens to be a raging drug dealer. Jonah Hill's narc character befriends him to infiltrate the cool kid crowd."

Meanwhile, The Hollywood Reporter says comedic actor Rob Riggle is circling the role of "a member of D.A.D. -- Dads Against Drugs. -- who has a burn-marked face and is secretly the main drug supplier."
