Chris O’Donnell and LL Cool J are in talks to star in CBS’ NCIS spinoff. O’Donnell would play Callen, an average guy born to do undercover work as the ultimate chameleon, taking on different identities. LL Cool J is eyed for the role of Sam Hannah, a former U.S. Navy Seal who is tough but charming. O’Donnell and LL would be the first actors to climb aboard the high profile project; four other roles are still being cast.

Although a spokesperson for the show declined to comment, Ausiello reveals that a new crop of naval sleuths will likely be introduced in an episode of NCIS later this season and launched into their own show as early as next fall. It’s still in the early stages, and no final decisions have been made about the premise or the setting. The NCIS offshoot will likely put on hold CBS’ long-gestating Criminal Minds spin-off.
