Q: The actor who plays the sergeant on "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" is enormous. Was he a professional athlete before?

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine's" imposing but softhearted Sgt. Terry Jeffords is played by the equally imposing, but also reportedly softhearted, Terry Crews.

Prior to becoming Hollywood's favorite giant funnyman, Crews was a linebacker in the National Football League, playing from 1991 to 1997 for the Los Angeles Rams, San Diego Chargers, Washington Redskins and the Philadelphia Eagles. He stands at six-foot-two and, as of his retirement from the NFL, weighed 245 lbs.

Unforgettable, on CBS

Carrie Wells (Poppy Montgomery) is back in this Season 2 premiere. Wells suffers from a rare condition known as hyperthymesia, which means she can visually remember everything with perfect accuracy. This affliction makes her an incredible detective.

Q: There is an episode of "The Twilight Zone" that I am trying to find. It's about a mousey man who works as a banker or an accountant. He drives an old car, like a LaSalle. It isn't "Mr. Bevis." Can you help me find the name of this episode?

Author: 
Adam Thomlison / TV Media

I can only narrow it down to two episodes that you could be thinking of: It's either "A Penny for Your Thoughts" or "You Drive," depending on whether the job or the car is the more important factor.

Both episodes are united by the mousiness of the protagonist, a characterization "The Twilight Zone" frequently liked to play with (as you point out, it was also the main feature of the titular "Mr. Bevis" in that famous episode from the show's first season).

Chicago P.D., on NBC

Detective Halstead's (Jesse Lee Soffer) badge is confiscated by Voight (Jason Beghe) when a man is found dead in this new episode. Meanwhile, Severide and Clarke (guest stars Taylor Kinney and Jeff Hephner) find the torso of a dead doctor.
