See Gary Cole Make His ‘NCIS’ Debut as FBI Special Agent Alden Parker (PHOTOS)
While we know one of the two new NCIS Season 19 series regulars will be with the team — Jessica Knight (Katrina Law) joins Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) and Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) in the search for the missing Gibbs (Mark Harmon) — it’s not until the second episode that we’ll meet the other: Gary Cole‘s FBI Special Agent Alden Parker.
So how do they cross paths? In “Nearly Departed,” CBS teases, “while trying to find the serial killer Gibbs was after, the NCIS team discovers another person has been tracking the case as well.” And based on the photos below, it looks like the team chase down Parker, perhaps thinking he’s a suspect … assuming he’s not just wearing a very similar sweatshirt in Director Vance’s (Rocky Carroll) office. (Does this remind anyone else of when Michael Weatherly‘s DiNozzo chased down Gibbs in the “Baltimore” flashback?) What will the team think of him as a result?
Pam Dawber is still around as reporter Marcie Warren, which makes sense, given she and Gibbs were the first ones on this investigation. (The “was after” in the logline when referring to Gibbs and the serial killer has us a bit worried, we have to admit, especially since we see Marcie but not him in the photos.)
Scroll down for a look at Cole’s debut as Parker in “Nearly Departed.”

Sounds like we are in for quite a ride.
As for liking a particular actor as a deal breaker for watching...for me it depends upon how intrusive the performer's personality comes thru. I'm partial to craftspersons who do their jobs in such a way I can forget who the actor is who is performing the role. If that isn't possible, I'm not interested.
For example, I don't watch to see Mark Harmon, I watch to see Gibbs - and that is what I get.

I think that this is going to be a trail and error year, Without mark Harmon ( AKA Gibbs) .If ratings drop then there will be more changes or they will end the series. I'm not to keen on either of the 2 that there bringing on but we will see. We all hated to see Zeva or Zeba leave but then Emily did a great job , and I hated to see her go .

Watched the show since day one but I think with all the stuff going on it’s going to circle the drain. I hope not but…….

I don't mind GC and love that Pam D. is on, but the deal breaker for me is Katrina Law. Can't stand her.

I like Katrina Law she was awesome on Hawaii 5-0. I'm glad she's on here. And I've always liked Gary Cole.

Episode 1 was fantastic. The only missing piece was David Mc and his Ducky wit. Katrina Law blended right in as did Sasha and Cote.
