Afton Williamson played LAPD Officer Talia Bishop in the first season of the ABC police procedural The Rookie. She served as the training officer for Nathan Fillions character, John Nolan, who became the oldest rookie in the Los Angeles Police Department after surviving a bank robbery. It appeared that Bishop would stick around for the entire run of the series, but Williamson left the show after the first season. In the premiere of Season 2, the audience discovers Bishop resigned unexpectedly from the LAPD to pursue a career with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. The reason behind the change of direction for the character came out in the summer between Seasons 1 and 2. Afton Williamson left the show after experiencing alleged racial discrimination, bullying, and sexual harassment on set.
