After 13 memorable years, NCIS: Los Angeles continues to surprise its loyal fanbase with exciting comebacks. One such return is that of Peter Cambor, who reprises his role as Nate Getz, an operational psychologist who has been absent since Season 8. Fans can look forward to seeing him again on March 13.
Nate’s Journey on NCIS: LA
Nate Getz first appeared in Season 6 of the original NCIS, quickly becoming an integral part of the NCIS: LA team. As a psychologist, he was responsible for conducting interrogations and psychological evaluations, playing a crucial role in monitoring the mental health of the NCIS personnel. His relationships with characters like Hetty Lange showcased a mix of respect and affection, making him a fan favorite.
Despite his talents, Nate grappled with a desire to transition from a support role to that of a field agent. Encouraged by his colleagues but also cautioned about the risks involved, he underwent training in fieldcraft and combat. However, his journey took a turn when he accepted a top-secret assignment in the Middle East, coinciding with Cambor’s shift from main cast member to recurring guest star.
What to Expect from His Return
Nate’s return is strategically timed, aligning with G. Callen’s (Chris O’Donnell) deep dive into his own past during Season 13. After discovering that he is Subject 17 in a mysterious program tied to Hetty, Callen finds himself needing psychological support. Showrunner Scott Gemmill expressed that Nate’s return will be pivotal, as he assists Callen in navigating the complexities of his past.
The storyline promises to delve into Callen’s history and the implications of his psychological profiling, which has become a significant plot point. Nate’s expertise will undoubtedly play a vital role as Callen confronts these revelations, offering both support and insight into the challenges that lie ahead.
Fans are eager to see how Nate’s character has developed during his time away and how he will interact with the core team, especially as they face new challenges together. With a mix of nostalgia and fresh narrative threads, Nate’s comeback is set to be a highlight for viewers as NCIS: Los Angeles continues its engaging run.
