20 years in, <\/span>NCIS<\/span><\/a> has become one of the longest running shows currently on air. <\/span><\/p>\n

Who is Alden? <\/b>Alden Parker replaced Leroy Jethro Gibbs to become the current Supervisory Special Agent of the NCIS Major Case Response Team in season 20. It was a shock for fans to see Gibbs leave the role after so long, but Parker has quickly established himself as a favourite in his own right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where have I seen Gary Cole before? <\/b>Cole has been a TV mainstay for decades, starring in a wide range of legendary shows including American Gothic, The West Wing, The Good Wife and Veep, which won him an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.<\/span><\/p>\n

On top of that, Cole is also a prolific voice actor with roles in Family Guy, Kim Possible, and Bob\u2019s Burgers, not to mention his various live-action film projects such as One Hour Photo and Pineapple Express.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sean Murray plays Timothy McGee<\/b><\/h2>\n

Who is Timothy? <\/b>McGee has come a long way from the timid, inexperienced agent first introduced as a guest star in season one. From season two onwards, he joined the main cast, and since then, Timothy\u2019s confidence has grown to the point where\u2019s now confident enough to be the show\u2019s new main lead from season 20 onwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where have I seen Sean Murray before? <\/b>NCIS has understandably taken up a lot of Murray\u2019s time over the past two decades, but prior to this role, he appeared in several episodes of JAG and also made his feature film debut as Thackery Binx in the iconic Disney movie, Hocus Pocus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wilmer Valderrama plays Nick Torres<\/b><\/h2>\n

Who is Nick? <\/b>Torres started out as an undercover agent who made his debut in the season 14 premiere, but when his cover was blown, a chance team-up with Gibbs\u2019s team eventually led to a permanent role on the team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Where have I seen Wilmer Valderrama before? <\/b>Before NCIS, Valderrama made a name for himself as Fez in That \u201970s Show, but that\u2019s not all he\u2019s appeared in. <\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years, Wilmer has also played roles in Grey\u2019s Anatomy and The Ranch, as well as From Dusk till Dawn: The Series \u2014 and he even voiced the character of Agust\u00edn Madrigal in Disney\u2019s Encanto<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who is Katrina? <\/b>Jess first appeared in the penultimate episode of season 18 where her tenacious, no-nonsense attitude led to an eventual spot on the main team. Knight is fluent in Chinese and her experience in dealing with hostage negotiations has proven invaluable in recent years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where have I seen Katrina Law before? <\/b>Law is a TV mainstay thanks to prominent roles across multiple shows including Spartacus: Blood and Sand, Spartacus: Vengeance, The Oath, Hawaii Five-0 and The CW\u2019s Arrow, where she played Nyssa al Ghul,.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who is Jimmy?<\/b> After playing a recurring role for many, many years, Dr James \u201cJimmy\u201d Palmer took over as NCIS\u2019s Acting Chief Medical Examiner in season 15.

Who is Kasie? <\/b>Kasie was a huge fan of Abby\u2019s work as the chief NCIS forensic scientist, so when Abby left for good, Kasie had her blessing to take over as the team\u2019s current forensics specialist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Where have I seen Diona Reasonover before? <\/b>Following her recurring role in season 15, Reasonover was upped to a series regular the following year after Pauley Perrette\u2019s departure. Prior to NCIS, Diona starred as Charmaine Eskowitz in the TV series Clipped.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
