LL Cool J, who had a cameo as his "NCIS: Los Angeles" character Sam Hanna during the Season 2 finale of "NCIS: Hawai'i" on CBS, is set to join "NCIS: Hawai'i" as a recurring guest star in the upcoming third season. Season 3 is set to premiere this fall.
"All of us at NCIS: Hawai'i have been huge fans of LL Cool J for years and couldn't be more thrilled or honored to be adding his spectacular talent to our ohana for season three," said executive producers Matt Bosack, Jan Nash and Christopher Silber.
"One of the most beautiful things about working on NCIS: Hawai'i is the show's ability to bring the franchise together. We have had so much fun spreading the aloha to NCIS and NCIS: LA with the triple crossover," added star Vanessa Lachey. "Now, we have the amazing opportunity to bring Sam Hanna to Hawai'i to help the island solve some cases and maybe have a few laughs in the process. Welcome to the ohana, Todd! It's going to be a fun ride!"
