Jamie Bamber is headed to NCIS.

The former Battlestar Galactica actor (more recently seen on Rizzoli & Isles and Monday Mornings) will stop by a November episode of NCIS Season 12 as Special Agent Ellie Bishop’s husband, NSA lawyer Jake Malloy.

TV Line first reported this piece of casting news.

"We’ve waited a long time to meet Bishop’s husband, and we’ve found him in Jamie Bamber,” NCIS showrunner Gary Glasberg says. “Jamie is a charming, talented actor, and we’re thrilled to have him on-board for this Thanksgiving episode and some exciting surprises to come."

Bamber also just booked a recurring role on the midseason CW drama The Messengers this week.
