Yahoo Lifestyle NCIS: Origins Casts Lauren Bowles as Wife of Patrick Fischler’s SAC Cliff Wheeler (Exclusive)
Art imitates wife, as they say.
True Blood vet Lauren Bowles will play wife to her real-life husband, Patrick Fischler, in an upcoming episode of CBS’ NCIS: Origins prequel spinoff.
More from TVLine
As my Inside Line column reported just last week, an upcoming NCIS: Origins episode will introduce viewers to Special Agent in Charge Cliff Wheeler’s wife Shelly — a travel agent who is trying desperately to keep her family together despite a rebellious son and a husband who’s battling to keep his head above water.
Still to be cast in the same upcoming episode is Cliff and Shelly’s son, a rebellious, mullet-rocking, GnR-loving 15-year-old who feels much resentment toward his dad (deservedly or not).
TVLine hears that both the mom and son roles have the potential to recur.
In addition to her aforementioned run as True Blood‘s Holly, Bowles’ many TV credits include How to Get Away With Murder, Veep, The Messengers, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Seinfeld and Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ NBC sitcom Watching Ellie.
Bowles will also be seen this year in The Hunting Wives, Starz’s drama series based on the novel by May Cobb.
NCIS: Origins airs new episodes every Monday at 10/9c.
