According to TV Line, Henry will portray Clayton Reeves, who is described as “a young man who rose above his blue collar roots to become a successful MI-6 agent.” He is also said to be “offbeat and fun with swagger to spare.” Reeves’ character description also reads, “Behind his steely eyes and a strong, no-nonsense demeanor is a killer smile and a sense of humor to match.”
Furthermore, he possesses confidence and, even though he’s “burned some bridges in the international intelligence community,” Reeves owns his actions and always sets out to do the right thing.
“We think we found something really special in Duane Henry,” NCIS showrunner Gary Glasberg said in a statement. “His unique blend of charm, heart and athletic physicality is going to be a great addition to the mix. Everyone at NCIS is excited to have him join us.”
