NCIS is on the hunt for a thirtysomething actress to play…
SPECIAL AGENT A. BORIN: The stunning ex-marine and experienced federal agent frequently butts heads with others to get what she wants. Guest star with recurring potential.
Got casting tips? Post ‘em below!










T’Pol herself, Jolene Blalock! Plus, she played a Marine on JAG.
I like this idea – Jolene Blalock would be a good addition to NCIS
Hell yeah T’pol works for me too !
Jolene would be great! Played a great warrior on Stargate as well. Her smolder would play great against Pablo’s fire.
Jeri Ryan
too old
It’d be nice if they gave Louise Lombard the job, they shouldn’t have cut her from NCIS: LA.
Hear, hear. The only reason I was considering watching NCIS: LA was for Louise (loved her on CSI), but then they axed her.
Now I watch NCIS, change the channel when it’s over and then come back for the Good Wife, cause NCIS: LA sucks!
I completely agree with everything you said above. I like LL Cool J, I like Chris O’Donnell, their characters, and I LOVE the char. of Kenzie and the actress who plays her (reminds me of Angie Harmon for some reason) but I initially got turned onto the series because of Louise’s guest appearance on NCIS. Very intriguing character. I can’t watch LA now. It doesn’t have the same…chemistry? as NCIS.
That works for me.
I don’t know who would play her but the ex-marine part sounds like they are trying to make another love interest for Gibbs…I’m not sure how that will work out
rule #12
An oh so sad, but true rule. (I wish Tony and Ziva would egnore it.)
I don’t think it’s a love interest for Gibbs, looks like that is going to be Rena Sofer based on last night’s episode. I think it would be great for this character to butt heads with Ziva.
I hate Rene Sofer’s character on NCIS. I am not happy about the end of last night’s show.
As long as she’s not intended for Tony. For realz, yo.
But butting heads with Ziva? Hell yeah
And AJ, you’re not alone. I was yelling at Gibbs last night: “NO, Gibbs, No! She’s EVIL.”
He didn’t listen.
Oh yeah! I would love to see her butt heads with Ziva(:
But I would also love for her to be intented for Tony….. and then for him to reject her(: I’m evil xD
But that would seriosuly create such good chemistry between Newbie/Tony/Ziva, ah I’m excited now(:
Gibb’s women have been shown from a distant view leaving in high dollar cars. I think it should get more involved, a lawyer don’t know about that. Is Tony & Ziva just going to smolter for ever? I think we need to pour some high octane fuel on both of them and let the flame roar.
Sarah Shahi
Alicia Coppola
Amy Carlson
Cara Bouno (even though she was on a recent episode)
Definitely Sarah Shahi. She would be great! I loved her on Life.
Sarah Shahi would be a great addition as she is hot and could easily play a badass
I’d buy that. Plus she was on ALIAS, so extra points for that. I’d love to see Jennifer Garner for the role but I’m guessing that would never happen…probably too Sydney Bristow-ish anyway.
I have to agree on Sarah Shahi. Loved her on Life, (loved Life in general), and would be nice to have her on tv again.
Sarah will be oh Psych this week as Gus’ love interest.
Amy or Cara would be an AWESOME addition to NCIS: L.A.!!! (Are you a Third Watch fan, too? LOL)
It can not be Amy Carlson, as she has already guest stared on NCIS. She was the research person in the Corporal Punishment episode 2 years ago. It would be ackward if they brought her back as someone else.
While particular characters can’t be recast with different actors in prime time, the same actor can play more than one character on the same show or different shows set in the same “universe” (ie: across more than one show in the same franchise.).
.
Milena Govitch playing lead, but different, characters on Law & Order and its spin-off Conviction. And Julianne Nicholson on Conviction and L&O:CI. And it’s done with guest characters on various franchises all the time.

Um, yeah. I’m pretty sure you’re the only one that would bother. I’ve seen all of the NCIS episodes more times than I can count (thanks, USA Network), and I doubt I’d go, “Huh, didn’t she guest star on an episode 2 years ago?”
Alicia Coppola for sure…but she was on JAG as a Navy Cmdr. Not sure if that would work, but she and Gibbs had some awesome chemistry!
Alicia Coppola has already been established on the show. She was LtCdr Faith Coleman – JAG officer. She appeared as the character on episodes of ‘NCIS’: ‘UnSealed, ‘Hometown Hero’ and ‘Call of Silence’.
That I would remember and would be awkward. Amy Carlson…I have no idea the episode you’re referring to nor the character so that wouldn’t be an issue for me.
I think Diane Neal (former ADA Casey Novak from SVU) would be awesome!
I really like her as well (poor Casey, though I do Love Alex) but think she’s a little too delicate(?) looking to be believable as a Marine, though she does have the stunning part down.
Another thought–Sarah Clarke would be perfect!
She’s gorgeous and can play a tough cookie (“Nina Myers” from 24).
Diane Neal (former ADA from SVU) would be awesome,Melora Hardin(the office)has the acting ability & looks. They all fit the casting description, perfect typecasting though. All the “dramas” have the same type of person (the mentalist,csi’s,numbers,etc…)
Both choices would be great. Melora Hardin played Trudie Monk, so she can hold herself in a dramatic role as well as she can in a comedic one.
Melora Hardin has been on NCIS before; season 1, episode 5.
Stephanie March would be great.
Word. Bring Back NEAL!
Sarah Shahi is in a pilot for one of the cable channels so she might not be available; but great choice. Alicia Coppola appeared as a JAG officer in early, early eppys of NCIS and Amy Carlson was in an eppy of the series once a couple seasons ago. How about a new face: Miracle Laurie from Dollhouse she’s stunning, tall and could pull the job off.
DEFINITELY Alicia Coppola! I loved, Loved, LOVED her on Jericho and would ADORE seeing her on NCIS…especially if she ended up facing off with Ziva!
yeah but everyone who really pays attention to the show will remember her as Commander Coleman
Just so you, Alicia Coppola has ALREADY appeared 3 times as Lt Cmdr Faith Coleman in season 2 of NCIS, so it would be weird if she return and plays someone else.
She was already on NCIS once before. Her character was in the Navy. Can’t come back as a Marine.
I’d go with Sophina Brown from Numb3rs, if Numb3rs doesn’t come back, that is
Amazing they feel the need to add ‘stunning’ – isn’t that hollywood? Isn’t that just the default? All they had to do is add “normal looking” every ten years when they actually need someone looking like that
OR, Christina Cox. She’d be great too!
Definitely not Miracle she and that show are a flop! The whole cast is a Hollywood joke right now. *cringe* NCIS needs a strong actress, and sadly most of those are already working.
I forgot. Use the chick who played Caitlin on JAG
Evangeline Lilly!
You’re kidding right?
Oh no I’m not kidding. She might not be a good actress but she’s pretty much out of job and she’s extremely gorgeous and could give Cote de Pablo a run for her money.
Diane Neal who was previously with svu. she would totally kick ass. she’s stunning and fits all the criteria.
How about:
Rosemary DeWitt, Laura Leighton, Krista Allen, Gillian Anderson, Alicia Witt, Isla Fisher and Evangeline Lily (now that Lost is in it’s final season)
pretty sure it’s going to be this season and since Ms. My show is canceled is busy filming said dead show can’t be her and also LOL at the idea of her on such an amazing show
OMG ~ NOT Alicia Witt!!!!
She’s outstanding in comedy but in a serious role?… she ruined L&O!
Somebody has a thing for redheads, don’t they?
I can’t possibly see them coaxing Gillian Anderson back into a network series, but she’d be quite an addition!
Queen Latifah
I think Queen Latifah would be a perfect choice!! That show need a little “color”.
The color the have on there is Cote de Pablo and Rocky Carroll.
