Scoop: "NCIS'" Michael Weatherly Lands Juicy Role on TNT's "Closer" Spin-off "Major Crimes"
May 29, 2012
by Michael Ausiello
TNT’s forthcoming "Closer" spin-off, "Major Crimes", has collared its first high-profile guest star: Michael Weatherly.
The "NCIS" vet will appear in an early Season 1 episode as Arthur “Thorn” Woodson, a charming con artist who currently works as an "intuitive life strategist" for a group of Israeli mob wives (all of whom he is bedding).
Described as a "Peter Pan with an A.D.D. problem", Thorn previously held down jobs as a hand model, a ventriloquist and a black jack dealer. His dream is to someday land his own show on Oprah Winfrey’s fledgling cable net OWN.
“Arvin Brown is directing — he’s done many NCIS episodes,” Weatherly tweeted of the gig.
"Major Crimes" is set to premiere on Monday, Aug. 13 at 10/9c immediately following the series finale of "The Closer".
