“NCIS: Origins” enlisted “SNL” alum Bobby Moynihan and “Orange is the New Black” star Lori Petty in recurring roles, coshowrunners David J. North and Gina Lucita Monreal revealed Saturday.
Moynihan boards the “NCIS” prequel series as Woodrow “Woody” Browne, head of the NIS Forensic Lab, while Petty plays Dr. Lenora Friedman, an assistant medical examiner. North and Monreal announced the news during the Television Critics’ Association’s summer press tour.
North promised Moynihan would bring some comedy to the CBS procedural, saying “we’ve done one scene with Bobby so far and hysterical is an understatement.”
“NCIS: Origins,” which is currently a week into production, stars Austin Stowell as a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
