'Chelsea Lately': Adam Brody Loves Playing Dumb Cops (VIDEO)

Adam Brody admitted on 'Chelsea Lately' (Weeknights, 11PM ET on E!) that he likes playing dumb cops. He's got another one lined up for 'Scream 4.'

"They're so terrible at their job," he laughed. "I love playing an idiot with a gun."

Chelsea Handler suggested he maybe play a rapper in his next film, but we have an even better idea. Somebody needs to get Adam Brody into the next 'Police Academy' film. If they go with the proposed continuation, he could simply be a new recruit.

But if they decide to reboot the franchise, our vote for Brody is the role of Mahoney, made famous by Steve Guttenberg in the first four films and subsequent cartoon series. He's got the right blend of handsomeness, charm and goofiness to make it work.
