David James Elliott will reprise his iconic JAG role as Captain Harmon Rabb Jr. when the actor makes an appearance on NCIS: Los Angeles in a multi-episode story-arc during its current 10th season.
NCIS: Los Angeles is currently on its 2nd season on e.tv, with its 7th season on Universal TV (DStv 117) at the moment, and M-Net (DStv 101) showing the 10th season.
It was JAG that ran for a decade that led to NCIS as a spin-off and that started further spin-off series like NCIS: LA.
Now David James Elliott will make his first appearance on an NCIS series, once again playing the character that made him famous and with viewers who will get a chance to catch up with what has happened to him since the end of JAG.
In the upcoming episode "The Guardian" Harmon Rabb Jr. will make his first appearance stretching over several episodes as the NCIS team uncovers ISIS sympathizers who are planning an attack on United States aircraft carriers.
The looming threat leads to Callen (Chris O’Donnell) and Sam (LL Cool J) working directly with Rabb (David James Elliott) who is now the executive officer (XO) and second-in-command on the USS Intrepid.
David James Elliott in his NCIS appearance is also reuniting with R. Scott Gemmill who is now the executive producer and showrunner of NCIS: Los Angeles who used to be a writer and producer on JAG.
"I was really excited to get a chance to work with David again," says R. Scott Gemmill in a statement. "I did the first 4 seasons of JAG with him so to be able to work together again in and of itself is great - but to do so with the same character on our show this many years later - that's pretty damn amazing."
"Bringing Harmon Rabb to work with NCIS: Los Angeles makes for a formidable coalition, and both entities are going to need all the help they can get when confronted with the greatest challenge of their careers."
