Jamie Lee Curtis Reprises NCIS Role, Wants To Become A Regular
Jamie Lee Curtis has been fairly regularly appearing on CBS’ NCIS this season, and the actress has proven to be a big draw for the show–every time Curtis makes another guest appearance, the show’s ratings, which were already impressive to begin with, gets a boost.
Curtis is expected to return to NCIS once again for another guest appearance in the series’ next episode, which will air on April 10. The episode sees Tony and Ziva in a search for a missing Marine Lieutenant and Navy Chaplain, with a little help from Ziva’s longtime mentor.
Curtis’ character, Dr. Samantha Ryan, has turned out to be a hit among fans, and, apparently, the actress is fond of the character herself–so much so, in fact, she’d like to become an NCIS regular. Curtis, speaking in an interview on “CBS This Morning,” had this to say:
“If they can figure out the storytelling, which I’m sure Gary [Glasberg] can, I would obviously love to. I’ve very much enjoyed establishing her life and her role on the show, and now I would love to be able to play a little bit with [Gibbs.]
Curtis’ character’s relationship with Gibbs has been one of her favorite aspects of playing Dr. Ryan, she said. “He’s a fascinating character … He’s a tough nut to crack. He’s like a war photographer … he’s very much in his own world looking and trying to solve the world’s problems, but for this woman to be able to get in there a little bit, has been really challenging and fun.”

J. L. Curtis on NCIS was my second pleasant surprise in this television season on CBS — the first was the new character on CSI.
For the first time there is a strong female counterpart to Gibbs who isn't a redhead or a former love interest.
Having someone like Dr. Ryan on the show should give the writers not only an opportunity to expand the story lines, it will give them an opportunity to show Gibs doing something other than making sawdust in his basement when he's not on duty.
Apr 7, 2012
Yes we want Jamie on the show all the time.
Apr 7, 2012
Yes indeed I would agree that Jamie would be a nice fit and would give NCIS more plots and twists and possibly give the Gibbs character more into the stories not that he is not already. A strong counterpart to Gibbs would be a great idea.
Apr 7, 2012
Back in 1992 Jamie Lee didi a movie with Mel Gibson, Forever Young Which I call Forever Goodlooking.
I hope they will make another film together. That would be great,
Apr 7, 2012
I agree Rich , I thought she was great in True Lies.
Apr 7, 2012
I to hope that they make JLC a regular on the show….
Apr 7, 2012
Jamie Lee is a great fix for the show love her and Gibbs a great fix.
Apr 7, 2012
Find somebody else..
Apr 7, 2012
Jamie Lee is a great fix for Gibbs, hope it continues.
Apr 7, 2012
Sorry folks the dairy impaired actress doesn't do it for me. She looks more like his mother than his love interest. I see her with Ducky if anyone at all. I don't believe I am saying this but if she's in as a regular, I'm out as a fan. I love NCIS and have been a fan since forever, but I cannot stomach this person.
Apr 7, 2012
I am so happy jamie is back on tv. have missed her in movies. if they don't hire her for csi, something is wrong. she is loved all over the world.is a good actress and her comedic skills are great.
Apr 7, 2012
are u jealous because she looks so great and doesn't have that blonde bimbo look
Apr 7, 2012
Jamie has proven herself many times to be a bombshell or as you commented a bimbo. She is also a very talented actress and I love that she is being completely herself. I think she is the perfect fit for this guy and honestly for any man. I love you JLC.
Apr 7, 2012
John Nieblas: Yes John I really do watch NCIS aas the chemistry in the show is very good.
Apr 7, 2012
CSI or NCIS?
Apr 7, 2012
Well, I'm guessing you are a man, because JLC isn't some young thing (like the lawyer in previous episodes). She's about the same age as Mark Harmon and they have real chemistry together. Grow up!
Apr 7, 2012
She born 1958, he born 1951.
Apr 7, 2012
I think this is bad casting, he may be older, but doesn't look it! What happened to the woman that was in the service and had a thing with Him, perfect age and type. Nothing against Jamie, I even admire her naturally healthy Look, but not for Gibbs!
Apr 7, 2012
yep that is it, I am jealous.
Apr 7, 2012
She may not be a former love interest,but their already hooking up.

Curtis would be a nice fit.
Apr 7, 2012
For Christ's sake woman, do something with your hair. You are beautiful and talented.Remarkable actress. I still watch A Fish Called Wanda because of you.
Apr 7, 2012
I agree w/ you yapronto. Jamie Lee is not a good actress in her role on NCIS. She comes across as acting, not natural. We are not interested in watching anymore w/ her on. Tony's immature, assinine behavior has worn on us for years. Now JLC. Time to go.
Apr 7, 2012
Donna Lockwood McCool — What??
Apr 7, 2012
I love this show and I love her. She would be a great addition to the show. Want to see a differnet side of Gibbs. Hope CBS it taken notice.
Apr 7, 2012
my opinion…….i don't care for her acting. I don't care what color hair she has or what she looks like.
Apr 7, 2012
NCIS doesn't need a new regular cast member. Utilize the tremendous cast you have. Don't need to see Gibbs & Ryan as lovers, have waited 7 years to see Tony & Ziva together.
Refuse to see JLC waltz in and into Gibbs bed while we can't even get a kiss between Tony & Ziva. Sorry I'll pass on JLC as a regular. Over the years, how many love interests has Gibbs had, Enough is enough.
Apr 7, 2012
Hope they sign her up, great hook up for Gibbs, plus added deminsion to an already steller cast. My favorite show next to M*A*S*H reruns. When the cast and the writing is as good as these two shows you just have to watch.
Apr 7, 2012
JLC has been on NCIS twice this season so far with no discernible change in the ratings. Apparently Gary Glasberg is playing loose with the truth again.
Apr 7, 2012
get rid of her. She does not belong on this show with Gibbs. they don't need her. I don't think it is a nice fit. I find her too manly and too unattractive for Gibbs and a terrible actress. too manly. she is ugly and terrible actress.
Apr 7, 2012
Jamie is quite good at her craft except she needs to do something about that gwad awful hair do.
Apr 7, 2012
Hello–they BOTH have gray hair!!!!!
Apr 8, 2012
Bring JL Curtis on full time, as she is a total asset to the show. Gibbs and her have such chemistry together even as far back as the Freaky Friday movie they did together. Keep her on.
Apr 8, 2012
WE LOVE HER, YOU HAVE BEEN OFF THE AIR AND OUT OF MOVIES TOO LONG. WELCOME BACK JAMIE….GREAT ROLE FOR YOU.
Apr 8, 2012
oh I hope not I hate the character of Ryan and Gibbs together, its all wrong for the show.
Apr 8, 2012
i have to agree, JLC is talented but not with Gibbs, she is all wrong for him
Apr 8, 2012
Yes i agree get rid of JLC
Apr 8, 2012
Hate the idea! NCIS is my favorite show. If she is on this show as a regular, it will ruin it for me. Gibbs should stay mysterious, not have any "love" interest. He is cool the way he is. Bad idea, bad idea…
Apr 8, 2012
I totally agree with yapronto! Do not like this idea at all! Ruins the team! I may stop watching my favorite show if she becomes a regular.
Apr 8, 2012
Um hello the ratings have not been a boost with JLC on. 19.4 million live viewers is normal NCIS ratings. A boost would be 23 to 24 Million viewers. And what is it with a possible Gibbs love interest has to be either a Director (Jenny Shepard Sam Ryan) or the Lt. Col Hollis Mann. Give him a widow or a divorcee in her mid 40's with kids that he could be a father figure to. That would be a perfect storyline for him, not some pushy woman that Gibbs can spar with and I hate to tell you him sparring with Ryan I hear crickets chirping in the background. On 'Freaky Friday' it worked with Mark and Jamie, he's trying to mimic bringing in a former female co-star that he worked with in the past. First Lauren Holly from 'Chicago Hope' now Jamie from 'Freaky Friday'. Find a new actress that Mark hasn't worked with before. Oh Susanna Thompson Col Mann has a TV Series next fall so she can't play Hollis on NCIS.
Apr 8, 2012
The article says Jamie has been "fairly regularly appearing" on CBS' NCIS. I credit her regularity to Activa.
Apr 8, 2012
JLC can join the cast but only after Tony & Ziva get together, they are who raise the ratings, not JLC & her 2 appearances.
Apr 8, 2012
J.L.Curtis' character is an intelligent woman, holds her own and mirrors Gibbs in many ways. She keeps her personal life a secret and clearly has mysteries of her own. She is a perfect compliment to him and Gibbs is obviously attracted. Great addition!
Apr 9, 2012
Susan Rozanski You got that right on the button there Susan.
Apr 10, 2012
I don't like her there have been more fitting ones for Gibbs, maybe its because I'm not American but I liked others better.
her character isn't right for Gibbs at all, the lawyer was good for him and the coastguard was even better.
i love NCIS and have never missed one, not even on thr reruns.
Apr 10, 2012
Lyn Hazely, you have the PERFECT answer, Gibbs needs to be a dad, that would certainly boost ratings, i wish we could get a petition for a better match for him.
Apr 11, 2012
I do hope that the producers and writers of NCIS can see their way clear to write Jamie Lee Curtis into the scripts to make her character, a regular. She makes an otherwise, already great intertaining series, an even better show..if one could think that possible!

Now it's down to 17.3 Million :p~~~~~~~~~
Apr 14, 2012
She is all wrong so it's not believable. Gibbs needs a "classy female" type and JLC is masculine, pushy and not very attractive at all….too butch for the hunk!
Apr 17, 2012
I hope jlc is in no more ncis she is not right for the show in fact has brought the ratings down, she does nothing for the show other than make it a soap opera its a crime drama.
May 24, 2012
I'd rather see tony and ziva hook up
