‘Kindergarten Cop’ is directed by Ivan Reitman and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as John Kimble, a tough police detective, who must go undercover and pose as a kindergarten teacher to catch drug dealer Cullen Crisp (Richard Tyson), before he can get to his ex-wife and son. Along the way, he discovers his passion for teaching and considers changing his profession to become an educator. Pamela Reed plays his partner, Phoebe O’Hara, and Penelope Ann Miller plays Joyce, the teacher who becomes his love interest.
According to reports, Det. Phoebe O’Hara, was played by Pamela Reed, the title character will be teamed with an Indian sidekick named Sanjit this time around. The duo will be looking for a missing flash drive from the Federal Witness protection program and on the run from Albanian villains according to Roger Friedman at Showbiz 411.
