Daniel Bellomy Joins ‘NCIS: Origins’
Deadline reports that Daniel Bellomy, who played Zeke in Starz’s Power Book II: Ghost, along with Caleb Martin Foote and Robert Taylor have joined the cast of NCIS: Origins in recurring roles. The CBS prequel to the venerable procedural has a straight-to-series order for the 2024-2025 broadcast season.
Executive produced and narrated by Mark Harmon, Origins begins in 1991, years before the events of NCIS, and chronicles Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ younger years. In the prequel, Gibbs (Austin Stowell) starts his career as a newly minted special agent at the fledgling NIS Camp Pendleton office where he forges his place on a gritty, ragtag team led by NCIS legend Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid).
Additionally, Mariel Molina will play Special Agent Lala Dominguez, Tyla Abercrumbie will play Field Operation Support Officer Mary Jo Sullivan and Diany Rodriguez will play Special Agent Vera Strickland.
Bellomy will play Special Agent Granville “Granny” Dawson, a young probationary agent, who’s cutting his teeth as the Evidence Custodian’s assistant, all the while itching to work his way up the ranks to field agent.
Foote will play Special Agent Benjamin “Randy” Randolf, the agency’s all too lovable golden boy. He’s been tasked with showing the newly minted Agent Gibbs the ropes, so thankfully, this father of young twins is practiced in patience.
Taylor will play Jackson Gibbs, the hard-nosed father of Leroy Jethro Gibbs, originally played by Ralph Waite in many episodes of NCIS.
Bellomy will next be seen in the forthcoming FX limited series American Sports Story. He made his Broadway Debut in Tarell Alvin McCraney’s Choir Boy. He has appeared in feature films such as Trudie Styler’s Freak Show and as famed basketball player Kevin Durant in the Lifetime Original Film: The Real MVP: The Wanda Pratt Story. Additional TV credits include David Simon’s The Deuce for HBO, Suits for USA, Blue Bloods, FBI: International for CBS and The Good Fight for Paramount +.
