Jamie Bamber to Guest Star in Key NCIS Role

Jamie Bamber is headed to NCIS.

The former Battlestar Galactica actor (more recently seen on Rizzoli & Isles and Monday Mornings) will stop by a November episode of NCIS Season 12 as Special Agent Ellie Bishop’s husband, NSA lawyer Jake Malloy.

TV Line first reported this piece of casting news.

"We’ve waited a long time to meet Bishop’s husband, and we’ve found him in Jamie Bamber,” NCIS showrunner Gary Glasberg says. “Jamie is a charming, talented actor, and we’re thrilled to have him on-board for this Thanksgiving episode and some exciting surprises to come."

Bamber also just booked a recurring role on the midseason CW drama The Messengers this week.

NCIS Cast: Before They Were Stars

1. Mark Harmon (Leroy Jethro Gibbs) - NCIS

Mark Harmon was a star long before he signed up for NCIS. Die hard fans might remember him from the primetime soap Flamingo Road, Dr. Caldwell for St. Elsewhere, or the third wheel in the Dave and Maddie triangle on Moonlighting. However, we're still mourning his untimely death as Agent Simon Donovan, CJ's romantic interest on The West Wing.
