ROCKY CARROLL TO STAR IN BOTH 'NCIS' SHOWS: Actor to play same character in original and spinoff this fall.

(July 3, 2009)

*CBS will work Rocky Carroll overtime this fall as a regular character in both "NCIS" and its spinoff "NCIS: Los Angeles," according to Variety.

Carroll will co-star fulltime in the original "NCIS." But he's also onboard as a recurring cast member on "NCIS: Los Angeles" as the same character.

The actor plays the Naval Criminal Investigative Service director Leon Vance, whose oversight -- just like that of the real-life NCIS director -- includes multiple jurisdictions.

As a result, the Mark Harmon-led team on "NCIS" will be seen reporting to Carroll, and ditto the LL Cool J-Chris O'Donnell team on "NCIS: Los Angeles."

The former star of "Roc" joined "NCIS" fulltime last year after his character, who had been assistant director of the NCIS, was promoted in the wake of the death of his predecessor (Lauren Holly).
