Special Agent Sam Hanna’s story is not over yet. LL Cool J popped up on the season two finale of NCIS: Hawai’i, a night after the actor’s NCIS: Los Angeles series concluded its 14-season run. It’s been revealed that he will return for season three of the Monday night series as a recurring guest star.
Starring Vanessa Lachey, Alex Tarrant, Noah Mills, Yasmine Al-Bustami, Jason Antoon, and Tori Anderson, the CBS series follows the NCIS division in Hawai’i. In the second season finale, Hanna (LL Cool J) comes to the rescue of Jane Tennant (Lachey) and Kate Whistler (Anderson) when they’re under attack in Venezuela.
Executive producers Matt Bosack, Jan Nash, and Christopher Silber said the following about the cast addition:
“All of us at NCIS: Hawai’i have been huge fans of LL Cool J for years and couldn’t be more thrilled or honored to be adding his spectacular talent to our ohana for season three.”
Lachey also spoke about LL Cool J joining the series:
“One of the most beautiful things about working on NCIS: Hawai’i is the show’s ability to bring the franchise together. We have had so much fun spreading the aloha to NCIS and NCIS: LA with the triple crossover. Now, we have the amazing opportunity to bring Sam Hanna to Hawai’i to help the island solve some cases and maybe have a few laughs in the process. Welcome to the ohana, Todd! It’s going to be a fun ride!”
Lachey also welcomed the actor to the cast on Instagram.

I love all the NCIS shows. So, happy to see the Sam Hanna character will guest star on NCIS Hawai’i.
