Fan-Favorite NCIS: LA Character to Return for NCIS 1000th Episode Celebration

The NCIS universe is about to celebrate a major milestone, and it’s bringing back some fan-favorite faces to mark the occasion. The highly anticipated 1000th episode of the NCIS franchise, which will air in April, will feature appearances from characters across its spinoffs, including NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: Hawai’i. Among the stars returning is NCIS: Los Angeles alumna Daniela Ruah, who portrayed the beloved Kensi Blye-Deeks, and Vanessa Lachey, who stars as Special Agent Jane Tennant on NCIS: Hawai’i.

While fans won’t see these characters physically return to the screen, the special episode will offer creative ways to bring them back, likely as part of a wider crossover event that celebrates the rich history of the franchise.

In a nod to NCIS’s past, the episode will also revolve around a personal storyline for Director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll), with a particular focus on his son Jared, a role that has been recast. Spencer Moore II will take on the role of Jared Vance, marking the third actor to portray the character. Moore II, known for his work on Superman & Lois, The Wonder Years, and We Are Who We Are, is expected to bring a fresh take to the role.

The episode will feature an intense and emotional plotline, as one of the franchise’s beloved characters faces grave danger. As co-showrunner David North teased, this will bring together all the NCIS spinoffs in unexpected ways. The creative team has also promised to include several Easter eggs for longtime fans, paying homage to the show’s history while introducing new dynamics.NCIS: LA': Prepare for a 'Satisfying' Series Finale With Big Returns &  Surprises

Although Ruah stepped away from acting to focus on her directing career, she has made her return to the NCIS franchise behind the camera, directing episodes for both NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i. Fans of the franchise will also recognize Lachey’s strong performances in NCIS: Hawai’i, where she continues to lead the team on thrilling cases.

The 1000th episode is sure to be a milestone event in NCIS history, with plenty of nostalgic callbacks and exciting moments that will delight fans of all the series within the NCIS universe.
