NCIS viewers are about to get to meet the family of Director Leon Vance.

According to TV Guide, Paula Newsome - pictured, who previously starred on ABC's Women's Murder Club - will guest star as Jackie Vance on the March 17 episode of NCIS.

The actress will be joined on the show by Khamani Griffin (All of Us) and China Anne McClain (House of Payne), who will portray Leon's children.

Why will fans finally meet Vance's family? Reportedly, Gibbs will delve into the director's past when Vance "borrows" the NCIS team to investigate the death of a friend.
