Eddie Barrett joins the NCIS: New Orleans cast for an all-new episode of the show. He also might seem very familiar to CBS viewers who have been watching the network for years.
Barrett is very recognizable as Don Flack, whom he played for years on the CSI: NY cast. He appeared on nearly 200 episodes of the show from 2004 and 2013 and was well-liked for his portrayal of Flack.
Now, Barrett is going to pop up on the NCIS: New Orleans episode titled “Matthew 5:9.” This serves as Season 6, Episode 6 of the show and the early previews make it look like a dramatic installment.
According to CBS, Lasalle (played by Lucas Black) hopes to avenge his brother’s murder by tracking a drug ring in Alabama that he believes is responsible for the death.
When Pride (Scott Bakula) steps in to help with the case, he will cross paths with Eddie Barrett. On the show, Barrett is described as “an elusive individual who knows more than he is sharing.” That’s usually the case with people who cross paths with Pride on the show.
