Casting About: NCIS Dials Nine Star, and More
John Billingsley, most recently seen on The Nine and perhaps best known as Star Trek: Enterprise's Dr. Phlox, will guest on the May 1 episode of CBS' NCIS. He'll play a visually impaired photographer with an acute sense of smell whom the NCIS team enlists to help solve the case of a deceased petty officer who shows up in one of the shutterbug's recent pictures.
In other casting news involving actors from shows with numbers in the title, a 90210er and a Party of Fiver are Medium-bound. Check out the Ausiello Report for deets.

jvo002, TV's great, isn't it? I'm still snickering.
Then again, there was a show way back when called Longstreet, starring the late, great, James Franciscus, about a blind detective. Dog, cane, the whole nine. It was actually pretty decent, for it's day.

Let's not also forget: He was also President Reynolds' first brother (before the recast) on Prison Break, and a super-creepy serial killer on Cold Case. As a character actor, he sure gets around.

Matt - I love NCIS and am always glad to see SOMETHING about this show on the TV Guide website but it's little and far between. There are so many blogs for SO MANY SHOWS, should I take it to mean the fact that NCIS doesn't have one means that Tv Guide doesn't think it's a show that would get the public to blog back??
