I'm Begging the World To Cast One of 'The Rookie's Best Villains as a Hero for a Change

The Rookie star Bridget Regan is one of the most amazing acting talents working today. However, in many of her roles in the last decade, she frequently portrays the villain. It started with White Collar Season 5, where she appeared as the antagonist, Rachel Turner. In Agent Carter, she was the Red Room assassin, Dottie Underwood. Regan also appeared in Jane the Virgin as the notorious drug lord, Rose Solano. In the comic book superhero series Batwoman, she portrayed the iconic DC Comics supervillain, Poison Ivy. Later, Regan starred as the nefarious lawyer Monica Stevens in The Rookie, who later becomes an underworld crime boss and fugitive at large. She even guest starred in 9-1-1's most recent arc, where she played a researcher in an infectious disease lab whose actions inadvertently led to Bobby's (Peter Krause) death. Well, it's time for a change for one of the show's most notable villains to land a more heroic lead in her career.
