The NCIS prequel has added a younger version of Special Agent Vera Strickland.
NCIS: Origins has added two more members to the cast of the NCIS prequel — including the younger version of another fan-favorite character. According to Deadline, Tyla Abercrumbie and Diany Rodriguez have signed on to the CBS series, rounding out the series regular cast. NCIS: Origins was given a straight-to-series order for the 2024-2025 broadcast season back in January.
Rodriguez is set to play Special Agent Vera Strickland. The character was previously played by Roma Maffia in an NCIS Season 11 episode. This version of the character is described as"a no=nonsense, sharp-witted Brooklynite who's tough as nails and never minces words. She's spent her entire career being underestimated by misogynistic morons but if it's a fight those good ol' boys are looking for, then it's a fight they're going to get.
