CBS' potential "NCIS: LA" spinoff has found its leading lady.

"Grey's Anatomy's" Kim Raver has landed the central role in the Shane Brennan vehicle, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Raver will play Special Agent Paris, the leader of the Red team, who is athletic, smart and witty with a degree in forensic science. She can drive a golf ball 300 yards and has an IQ in the 98th percentile.

She prefers to (and often does) work alone.





Also, "Damages" vet Gillian Alexy has been added to the cast as Special Agent Claire.

Claire, who graduated at the top of her class at Harvard, is described as "educated, worldly, athletic and as tough as she is beautiful." She has trained with the Navy SEALs, lived with a British SAS soldier and loves all things military, with a strong passion for photography, inherited from her war correspondent father.

Though she views herself as a tomboy, the world sees her as a stunningly attractive woman.
