Man, we are digging this ongoing trend on NCIS to meet the parents (and grandparents, and occasional sibling).

So who’s the latest actor to play a father figure on the popular CBS show?

Larry Miller!

EW has learned exclusively that the comedian and veteran TV actor has been cast as Ed Slater for the show’s Christmas episode airing in December. He’ll play the future father-in-law of Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen).
