Find out more about Valderrama’s casting from the CBS press release below:
Wilmer Valderrama has joined the cast of NCIS, television’s #1 drama, as a series regular.
Valderrama will play a once grounded NCIS field agent who accepted a deep cover assignment years ago and never resurfaced. Many agents don’t know he’s still on the job or that he’s even alive. Now, he’s back and his dedication to job and country has left him an unpredictable, charismatic loose cannon.
“Wilmer Valderrama will be able to flex his dramatic, physical and comedic talents in this classic ‘NCIS’ role,” said Executive Producer Gary Glasberg. “Fans are going to see him like they’ve never seen him before. This is going to be fun. We’re thrilled he’s coming aboard.”
Most recently, Valderrama had a recurring role on “Grey’s Anatomy.” His additional television credits include “That ’70s Show,” “Minority Report,” “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series” and “Awake.”
Valderrama’s film credits include the indie dramas “To Whom It May Concern,” from French director Manu Boyer, and “The Adderall Diaries,” opposite Amber Heard and James Franco, which premiered at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival, as well as “Larry Crowne,” “From Prada to Nada,” “Fast Food Nation” and “The Dry Land.”
Are you a fan of Valderrama? Are you excited to see him on NCIS this fall? Tell us what you think.
Ever since Wilmer Valderama went onboard NCIS, I cannot take my eyes off of the screen when he is in a scene. I have always been a huge fan of NCIS, but the addition of Nick Torres satisfies my that side of me I shouldn’t mention. I am happy though that Michael Weatherly has his own show. He is still a great character.
I wish Dinozzo would stay but I’m excited for Michael Weatherly’s new show Bull this fall!!
