LL Cool J has joined the NCIS: Hawai’i cast and is a big part of the upcoming season premiere.
Agent Sam Hanna (LL Cool J’s character) appeared for 14 seasons on NCIS: Los Angeles.
NCIS: Los Angeles got canceled, freeing up LL Cool J to pursue additional acting avenues. He didn’t wander far, as he already popped up in the NCIS: Hawai’i Season 2 finale.
It was previously announced that LL Cool J will now play a recurring role on NCIS: Hawai’i. He has already been on the set filming and participated in the annual blessing ceremony.
The first new episode of NCIS: Hawai’i airs on Monday, February 12. It follows the 21st season premiere of NCIS.
Previous episodes of NCIS: Hawai’i are available for streaming, so anyone who missed it can go back and see LL Cool J in one of the final scenes from Season 2.
