"NCIS" has enlisted Broadway vet Taye Diggs for a pivotal, musical role in the series’ 300th episode.
In the landmark hour of TV’s most watched drama (airing March 15), Diggs will play Marine Gunnery Sergeant Aaron Davis, a Special Ops sniper who suffered traumatic injuries and PTSS after an ambush attack in Iraq. For the past six months, Davis has been at Walter Reed Medical Center, facing a slow but effective rehab that includes a cutting-edge music therapy program.
Once a free spirit and a gifted musician, Davis has spiraled into a shell of his former self When Gibbs (Mark Harmon) attempts to reach the wounded warrior, needing as he does an account of the aforementioned ambush to solve a murder.
Of the casting, "NCIS" showrunner Gary Glasberg said in a statement:
“For our 300th episode we needed a guest actor who could proudly portray one of our nation’s wounded warriors as well as participate in a very touching musical performance. This emotionally charged role is tailor-made for Taye Diggs and we are so thrilled and honored to have him join us.”
"NCIS" resumes Season 13 this Tuesday at 8/7c.
Diggs currently stars on TNT's "Murder in the First" and has recurring roles on "The Good Wife" and "Rosewood".
