Who Runs the Show in Los Angeles? Not Just the Kardashians! A Guide to the NCIS: LA Crew
NCIS: Los Angeles, the show that kept us glued to our screens for fourteen seasons with its high-octane action and quirky characters, isn't just about fancy cars and catching bad guys (although, there's definitely a lot of that). The heart of the show lies in its amazing cast. But fear not, fellow fans, because today we're diving deep – deeper than Deeks undercover, that's for sure – to uncover the who's who of NCIS: LA!
The Core Four: The OG Crew
-
G. Callen (Chris O'Donnell): The enigmatic leader with a mysterious past. Is he James Bond? Maybe not, but he's definitely got the charm and the fighting skills to rival 007.
-
Sam Hanna (LL Cool J): The ever-reliable partner to Callen, with a rap sheet that would make Snoop Dogg blush (but way more classified, of course). Fun Fact: He can disarm a bad guy and drop a sick beat, all before the commercial break.
-
Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah): The badass field agent with a dry wit and a knack for getting into trouble (though she always looks incredible doing it). Think Lara Croft meets Joan Rivers.
-
Marty Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen): The charming techie who started out undercover, but somehow ended up stealing hearts (and the nickname "Deeks") along the way. He's the comic relief of the group, the one who always gets roasted, but can also hold his own in a fight (sometimes).
The Supporting Squad: Because Every Crew Needs Backup
NCIS: LA wouldn't be the same without its fantastic supporting cast. Here's a quick shoutout to some of our favorites:
- Hetty Lange (Linda Hunt): The enigmatic operations manager who keeps everyone in line (or at least tries to). She may be small in stature, but her presence is larger than life – and her boat shoes are legendary.
- Eric Beale (Barrett Foa): The resident tech wizard who can hack anything (except maybe Hetty's computer). Think of him as the caffeine-fueled backbone of the team's digital intel.
Special Guest Stars: Because Sometimes You Need a Legend
Over the years, NCIS: LA has seen its fair share of iconic guest stars. We're talking about actors who bring the "wow" factor, like:
- Miguel Ferrer as Owen Granger: The formidable Assistant Director who knew how to push all the right buttons (and sometimes the wrong ones too).
- Gerald McRaney as Hollister: The gruff retired Admiral who proved that even with experience, you can still learn new tricks (and dispense some serious wisdom).
So there you have it! This is just a taste of the amazing cast that made NCIS: LA such a success. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a sudden urge to rewatch a marathon and marvel at the brilliance of these actors (and maybe try to figure out Callen's real name. That mystery deserves its own investigation!)
