The NCIS Thread - Part 2

[wiegeabo]

Wasn't Alex O'Loughlin in a few duds before he made it?

2 straight CBS shows that died at 13 episodes before hitting 5-0.

Scott Grimes (ER) has landed a series regular role in the NCIS: LA planted spinoff, which will originate as an episode of NCIS: LA airing later this season titled “Red”. The project, from NCIS: LA executive producer/showrunner Shane Brennan, stars John Corbett and follows a mobile team of agents who are forced to live and work together as they crisscross the country solving crimes. Grimes, repped by Abrams Artists and Adam Levine at Industry, plays Dave, a highly capable agent who has an eye for clues, a nose for lies and is the team’s forensic specialist.

‘NCIS: LA’ Spinoff Casts Another Regular
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

CBS is going down to the wire with the casting of its planted NCIS: LA spinoff, which begins filming on Monday. Gillian Alexy has landed a regular role in the project, which starts off an episode of NCIS: LAairing later this season titled “Red”. The spinoff stars John Corbett and follows a mobile team of agents who are forced to live and work together as they crisscross the country solving crimes. Alexy will play Special Agent Claire, educated, worldly, athletic and as tough as she is beautiful. She has a law degree from Harvard, a Masters Degree in international politics and fluency in a smattering of languages. She topped her class in both the offensive and defensive driving course at Quantico, she’s trained with the Navy SEALS and loves all things military. Alexy, repped by Stone Manners Salners and Kyle Luker, was a regular on the final season of Damages.

Meh.

So I guess we'll never see them on NCIS. Scott Grimes appeared last season in a flashback episode as Tony's partner when he was a cop in Baltimore. I hope this doesn't effect his work on American Dad, he voices Steve.

Kim Raver To Star In CBS’ ‘NCIS: LA’ Spinoff
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

With a day to spare before filming is set to begin on the planted NCIS: LA spinoff on Monday, the project is now fully cast. After a flurry of supporting castings yesterday, the last role to close was the lead, Special Agent Paris. 24 and Grey’s Anatomy alumna Kim Raver has been tapped for the part, joining John Corbett who plays the male lead. Also cast in the backdoor pilot in a guest starring/potential recurring role is Kenneth Mitchell (Jericho). This marks the first installment in the NCIS, CSI or Criminal Minds franchises with a female lead. The project, from NCIS: LA executive producer/showrunner Shane Brennan, follows a mobile “Red” team of agents who are forced to live and work together as they crisscross the country solving crimes. Paris is the athletic, smart, witty and bold leader of the Red team. She has a Degree in Forensic Science, can drive a golf ball 300 yards and has a brain snapping IQ in the 98th percentile. She prefers to, and often does, work alone. Mitchell, repped by CESD and manager Laura Berwick, plays the team’s respected and likable Logistics Officer Danny Gallagher. This marks a quick casting for Raver who only became available three weeks ago when her previous starring vehicle, the Lifetime pilot Secret Lives Of Wives, got a pass from the network. Raver, repped by WME and Mosaic, recurs on NBC’s freshman breakout Revolution.

So the cast so far is:
Miguel Ferrer as NCIS Assistant Director Owen Granger (will be on NCIS:LA also)
John Corbett as Operations Manager Roy Quaid
Kim Raver as SA Paris
Scott Grimes as SA Dave
Gillian Alexy as SA Claire
Edwin Hodge as IT Specialist Kai Ashe
Kenneth Mitchell as Logistics Officer Danny Gallagher (recurring)

Looks almost identical to the initial character list, except they added Ferrer and changed Scott Grimes' character's name to Dave from Danny, which is now the name for Mitchell's role.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I like Kim Raver, not sure why it's important that her character can drive a golf ball 300 yards though.

It's her characters signature take down method.... Golf ball to the cranium at 300 yards

No no no. You got it all wrong. NCIS is going down the CSI route with this one. Horatio Caine got his sunglasses, she gets her golf clubs:


NCIS finds a body who's been shot in the head.

Kim Raver: Looks like <takes out golf club and whacks a golf ball into the horizon> it's a hole in one.

YEEEAAAHHHH

No posts in here for months!

Anyway, season finales tomorrow and the LA one looks really good.

[Webfoot Hero]

Really interested to see both finales tonight. Really want to know why they're going after Gibbs and Vance in NCIS (plus seeing AJ Chegwidden.) As for NCIS: LA, it looks action-packed. I like the idea of their old foes coming back and them having to use The Chameleon to get the nukes back.

I loved the NCIS season finale!

 

[Dr Lee]

Ncis -

Spoiler

Bloody hell... Colin Hanks plays the smarmy bastard a little too well.

Sorry, but I refuse to believe the trio just quit to save Gibbs... Where are they and what in the **** are they doing?

Speaking of WTF.... WTF is Gibbs involved in that has him seemingly shooting FORNELL???

NCISLA -

Spoiler

**** me...Deeks screaming at the end....what made it more chilling was that we could only see Sam's reaction to the torture. People are gonna die when Kensi finds out...

Speaking of which, actions speak louder than words for sure...

 

[Hunter Rider]

I wasn't a huge fan of the NCIS finale in truth, I was hoping to see Chegwidden and Gibbs take Parsons down, instead there was all the dream stuff with Franks, Gibbs mooding around and the team resigning, it felt hollow to me. The only bits I dug were the Tony & Ziva scene outside the cabin, angry Abby and the final scene of Gibbs looking at Fornell through the rifle scope.

The LA finale on the other hand was incredible, The Chameleon is one creepy, twisted bastard, the scene where he revealed to Callen how he'd sold Sam out was chilling. The cliffhangers of the nukes still being with Sidorov, Kensi trying to save Quinn and Sam and Deeks in major trouble made for an amazing climax, and the scenes with Deeks & Kensi and Sam and Deeks are game changers going forward.

 

[X-Ray]

I was not a fan of the NCIS finale as well. The ending was the best part of the episode. I'm not a tiva fan so the touchy scenes between Tony and Ziva made me want to change the channel. Though I may not like tiva, I say go for it, quit with the ****in' teasing and get it over with.

As for Gibbs' new situation at the end. My theory on that is he has gone deep cover to infiltrate a domestic terrorist group. This is his way for a clean slate that might get him kill as Chegwidden pointed out. Seems like a real unnecessary risk after the team had info on Parsons that would end his career. Fornell isn't the target but he will take the bullet so Gibbs maintains his cover. Fornell's fake death will help Gibbs' as he sinks in deeper into this shadow organization.

The members who resigned will be right there along side Gibbs. From a distance and not silly situation where they infiltrate the same organization.

I hope next season is the last. The writers have clearly ran out of ideas.

Whatever happened to that NCIS LA Spinoff?

 

[TheVileOne]

I think they did a backdoor pilot and fans didn't like it.

 

[X-Ray]

The whole concept sounded too silly to work. NCIS: Red where a group of agents are forced to live together & travel across the country in a motor home solving crime.

Agreed, not to mention there wasn't a single interesting character amongst the group.

 

[Marx]

...love all of the press shots above.

Yep, it was NCIS: Scooby Doo edition. Only instead of harmless old men pretending to be ghosts, it was going after terrorists, I guess. Terrorists who so deftly infiltrated the country we needed a mobile anti-terrorism squad to collect them all. Like Pokemon.

 

[X-Ray]

And she's out.

Shalom.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

And she's out.

Shalom.

Wow. Wasn't completely unexpected since she has talked about leaving before so now that her contract is up, it's probably a good time to leave.
