Parenthood alum John Corbett will star as analyst Roy Quaid, a former NCIS special agent forced to retire from active service who now works as an analyst. While no longer an active agent, he's the most experienced investigator working for Red Team, a fact that is not lost on any other agents.
Grimes, whose credits also include American Dad and an episode of the flagship NCIS drama, will play Dave, a highly capable agent with an eye for clues, a nose for lies who is the team's forensic specialist.
