Parenthood alum John Corbett will star as analyst Roy Quaid, a former NCIS special agent forced to retire from active service who now works as an analyst. While no longer an active agent, he’s the most experienced investigator working for Red Team, a fact not lost on any other agents.
Grimes, whose credits also include American Dad and an episode of the flagship NCIS drama, will play Dave, a highly capable agent and the team’s forensic specialist who has an eye for clues and a nose for lies.
