Star Trek: Discovery star Jake Weber has joined the cast for the second season of NCIS: Hawai’i.
As reported by TV Line, the actor, who played Zareh in the third season of the sci-fi show, will guest-star in the police procedural spinoff series.
He will appear in the 14th episode of the second season as Jim Carter, a former NCIS agent who is now head of security for a university.

He reportedly “despises authority”, with his “arrogant” demeanour leading to his downfall at the agency when Jane (Vanessa Lachey) was handed the reins. As a result, he still holds a grudge, so it will be interesting to see how he fares with his old enemy.
Lachey recently teased Weber’s appearance when previewing the huge NCIS crossover event – which will air on January 9 – saying: “November was extremely taxing, but we’re ending the year on top.

The three-pronged crossover event will include an episode from both Hawai’i and fellow spinoff series Los Angeles, as well as one from parent show NCIS.
The story will see agents from all three shows converge in the nation’s capital for a retirement party, before being called into action following a suspicious death.
Amy Reisenbach, the executive vice president of current programmes at CBS, recently teased the events of the event, saying: “We are so excited to finally have the long-awaited, first-ever NCISverse crossover to share with our passionate, loyal viewers.
“The popularity, longevity and continued success of the franchise is a testament to the immense talent of the casts and writing and producing teams who bring these shows to life. They came up with a thrilling story for this epic three-hour event that creatively brings all three NCIS teams together for fans to enjoy in one night and beyond.”
NCIS Hawai'i airs on CBS in the US, and on Disney+ in the UK.
