Wilmer Valderrama Joins ‘NCIS’ As ‘Loose Cannon’ Agent

CBS says Wilmer Valderrama is joining the cast of “NCIS” as a character who’s charismatic but unpredictable.

In a statement Thursday, “NCIS” executive producer Gary Glasberg said fans will get to see the actor in a new light.

Valderrama gained attention on the sitcom “That ’70s Show.” He has drama credits that include TV’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” ”Minority Report” and “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series.”

On “NCIS,” he’ll play a field agent who resurfaces after a deep-cover assignment and has gone from stable to loose cannon.

Valderrama’s co-stars in the upcoming 14th season include Mark Harmon and Pauley Perrette.
