Main Characters Revealed For Proposed NCIS Spin-Off

Michael Ausiello has scooped a rundown of the main characters for the proposed NCIS spin-off. Without filming slated to start in late February 2009, CBS should start announcing the cast soon.

Callen is an average Joe in his 30s . . . or so he’d have you believe. In reality, he’s a human Transformer who can change personas as easily as you or I change clothes.

Clara Macy is a tough former MP in her early 40s whose tender side shows in the way she plays mother hen to her colleagues.

Nate “Doc” Getz, 30, is an operational psychologist who, underneath his razor-sharp wit, is as soft-hearted as they come.

Kensi Lo is a twentysomething Asian-American whose academic record in forensics and criminology got her recruited young by the Feds.

Sam Hanna, an African American (or Middle Eastern — depends on the actor) ex-Navy SEAL, is in his 40s and the team’s only married member. So, between that and his stints in Afghanistan and Iraq, you just KNOW he can handle himself in combat.

Dominic Vaile is a thirtysomething surveillance expert who’s still experiencing separation anxiety in the wake of his exit from the Navy.
