David James Elliott will reprise his Navy Captain Harmon Rabb Jr character from the long-running “JAG” for a multi-episode arc on “NCIS : Los Angeles”.
The 58 year-old actor played the character for ten seasons, retiring the character in 2005
After the demise of “JAG”, CBS greenlit spin-off series “NCIS”. Surprisingly enough, this is Elliott’s first appearance on any “NCIS” series.
In ‘The Guardian’ episode of ”NCIS; Los Angeles”, the NCIS team uncovers ISIS sympathizers who look to be planning an attack on US aircraft carriers. The terror threat will result in Callen (Chris O’Donnell) and Sam (LL COOL J) working directly with Rabb (Elliott), the XO Captain on the USS Intrepid.
In addition to CBS and producer CBS TV Studios, Elliott is reuniting with ”NCIS: Los Angeles” executive producer/showrunner R. Scott Gemmill, a former writer-producer on ”JAG”.
“I was really excited to get a chance to work with David again,” Gemmill said. “I did the first 4 seasons of JAG with him so to be able to work together again in and of itself is great–but to do so with the same character…on our show…this many years later—that’s pretty damn amazing. Bringing Harmon Rabb to work with NCIS: Los Angeles makes for a formidable coalition, and both entities are going to need all the help they can get when confronted with the greatest challenge of their careers.”
“JAG” co-star Catherine Bell is also rumored to be joining Elliott in the “NCIS : LA” eps.
