“Hello, my brother.” That’s how Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) greeted Dwayne Pride (Scott Bakula) on NCIS in the backdoor pilot for New Orleans, “Crescent City,” in 2014. But how did they develop such a close friendship? Well, we’re about to start getting the origins of just that.

NCIS: Origins is casting the role of Young Pride for an episode to air later this season, TV Insider has learned exclusively. Yes, Pride is joining other characters whose younger versions have showed up on the prequel including Gibbs (Austin Stowell), Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid and Muse Watson), Vera Strickland (Diany Rodriguez and Roma Maffia), Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard (Adam Campbell and David McCallum), and Tobias Fornell (Lucas Dixon and Joe Spano). Scott Bakula played the role of Pride for seven seasons of NCIS: New Orleans, from 2014 to 2021.
