Rocky Carroll will simultaneously appear on both NCIS and its spinoff NCIS: Los Angeles next season. Carroll is signed up to star fulltime in NCIS, but he’s also signed as a recurring cast member on NCIS: Los Angeles as the same character. Carroll plays the Naval Criminal Investigative Service director Leon Vance, whose oversight – just like that of the real-life NCIS director – includes multiple jurisdictions.
As a result, the Mark Harmon-led team on NCIS will be seen reporting to Carroll, as will the LL Cool J-Chris O’Donnell team on NCIS: Los Angeles. Carroll joined NCIS fulltime last year after his character, who had been assistant director of the NCIS, was promoted in the wake of the death of his predecessor (Lauren Holly).
