“When I first met him, I thought, ‘He and I are probably not going to be best pals,’” Fillion recalled. “And within four minutes, I was embarrassed and ashamed because I’d judged a book by its cover. He’s an incredibly kind man. Within two or three days, I invited him to do an episode, and he graciously accepted. He’s wildly talented and always brings a flavor to the character that’s realistic. It’s been a pleasure seeing what this unlikely friend of mine can do with being an unlikely half-brother and friend to my character.”

Fillion stars in The Rookie as John Nolan, the oldest rookie at the Los Angeles Police Department. He also serves as an executive producer of the series. Davison appeared in three episodes from 2020 to 2022 as his half brother, Pete Nolan.

When the series launched four years ago, Fillion raved about working with the comedian.

“I met a couple of real cool people. One of them Pete Davidson,” Fillion said during a February 2020 interview on SiriusXM’s EW Live.
