Scottie Thompson, perhaps best known as Jeanne Benoit on NCIS (back in the good ol’ Tony DiNardo days), and she also starred in the short-lived medical show Trauma. She’ll be playing a DEA agent who shares an undercover house with agents from the FBI and US Customs. The USA Network pilot is from White Collar creator Jeff Eastin.

All sorts of spoilers and scoop! First off, go vote for who you think should be Jimmy Palmer’s best man (and NCIS, for a wedding present, can’t you make him a series regular?). There’s intel on OUaT’s Stranger, info on whether Sara will be back for season four of White Collar, and details on what’s ahead for Karen and Dev on Smash.

NCIS beat out the vampires, werewolves, and ghosts of Being Human, and Once Upon a Time unanimously won over Eureka – poor SyFy! Now TV’s most viewed drama faces a popular and magical freshman – which will advance to the next round?
NCIS is an action drama with liberal doses of humor that focuses on the sometimes complex dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. These special agents travel the globe to investigate all crimes – from murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines – with Navy or Marine Corps ties.
Once Upon a Time – There is a town in Maine, where every storybook character you’ve even known is trapped by an evil curse. Trapped in time, with all their happy endings stolen, they don’t remember who they are or where they came from. Only one can break the spell.

I’m not familiar with Lombard’s work, but I think it’s cool that NCIS is giving Ziva a Mike Franks-like friend. Monique Lisson will appear in an April episode.
NCIS Casts Karina Lombard as Ziva’s Mentor.

So good to be getting Bones scoop again! This time, Brennan’s books are being made into a movie (hinted at years ago – Richard Castle must have better connections with the movie industry since his books took far less time to make it to film). Ashley Jones and Jordan Belfi are set to play the movie versions of Brennan’s characters Dr. Kathy Reichs and Special Agent Andy Lister. They of course are based on Booth and Brennan, much the same way that Castle’s characters Jameson Rook and Nikki Heat are based on himself and Beckett. (Now to just get McGee’s novels, written as Thom E. Gemcity, made into a movie.)

Fun new episode of Spoiler Alert! – with an appearance by Michael Weatherly (giving suggestions for Jimmy’s bachelor party), as well as actors from Cougar Town giving a dramatic reading of a scene of Smash. Ausiello and Mitovich also discuss their wishes for House’s final episodes.

More details on Jamie Lee Curtis guest starring on NCIS (she’ll be there February 21 and March 20 – guessing the latter is when Sean Austin will join her). Hetty will be refereeing a game of basketball on NCIS: Los Angeles, Dr. Whale will return in a Red Riding Hood themed episode of Once Upon a Time, and the decision of who will play Marilyn on Smash doesn’t mean things will be going smoothly from now on.

It’s Samwise! Worlds will collide when Sean Astin guest stars on NCIS in late March, in a role tailor-made for him. The episode is already featuring Mark Harmon’s Freaky Friday co-star, Jamie Lee Curtis.
Looking forward to tomorrow’s episode! Here’s a sneak peak at what’s coming:

I cannot wait for this “alternate reality” special NCIS episode, where Gibbs wonders “what if?” and we get the answer to the question in living color. Quite a fun way to celebrate the show’s 200th episode!
