On the heels of adding "24" alum Sarah Clarke to its ranks, CBS’ "NCIS" has cast British actor Duane Henry to appear in the final two episodes of Season 13, with an option to be a series regular come Season 14.

TVLine has learned that Henry will play Clayton Reeves, a young man who rose above his blue collar roots to become a successful MI-6 agent. Described as “offbeat and fun with swagger to spare,” he has a professional confidence that’s impossible to disregard.

And while Reeves has burned some bridges in the international intelligence community, he owns the choices he’s made and is determined to do what’s right. “Behind his steely eyes and a strong, no-nonsense demeanor is a killer smile and a sense of humor to match,” says the description.





“We think we found something really special in Duane Henry,” showrunner Gary Glasberg said in a statement. “His unique blend of charm, heart and athletic physicality is going to be a great addition to the mix. Everyone at NCIS is excited to have him join us.”

Henry will debut in the May 10 episode of TV’s most watched drama, one week ahead of series vet Michael Weatherly’s final appearance as Very Special Agent Tony DiNozzo.

"NCIS" Promotes Duane Henry to Regular

"NCIS" is officially making Officer Reeves a member of the family. The CBS drama has promoted Duane Henry — who joined the cast last season in the recurring role of MI6 Officer Clayton Reeves — to a full-fledged series regular ahead of Season 14, TVLine has learned.

Henry’s upgrade comes amid word that Sarah Clarke, whose character Tess Monroe also boarded "NCIS" last season, will not be back. Meanwhile, the rejiggered Season 14 cast will also include Wilmer Valderrama and Jennifer Esposito as new full-time agents.

(It apparently takes a village to replace Michael Weatherly!)





A quick refresher on Reeves: The Brit rose above his blue collar roots to become a successful government agent. Offbeat and fun with swagger to spare, he has a professional confidence that’s impossible to disregard. To say Reeves has burned some bridges in the international intelligence community is an understatement, but he owns the choices he’s made and he’s determined to do what’s right.

"NCIS" kicks off its 14th season on Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 8/7c.
