In recurring roles, Augustine plays “Miles,” one of the newest rookies at the LAPD. As a Texas transfer, Miles is a “rookie” despite being a two-year veteran of the force. Keleher plays “Seth,” one of the newest rookies at the LAPD. He seems like the ideal police officer, but the job requires quick, decisive action — something that doesn’t come naturally to Seth.

Augustine is best known for his portrayal of Muhammad Ali in the MGM+ series Godfather of Harlem Season 1 and his role as Clay in the CW’s All American. His credits also include Apple TV+’s Swagger, Showtime’s Shameless, CBS’ Criminal Minds, the CW’s The Vampire Diaries and Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger, among others. He is repped by is repped by Greene Talent and Zero Gravity Management.

Keleher is making his TV debut in The Rookie. He recently starred in the play Fatherland at The Fountain Theatre. The production is going off-Broadway in the fall with Keleher reprising his role. He is represented by SDB Parters and Liberman Zerman Management.
