'NCIS' season 13 spoilers: two new members join team

(Facebook/NCIS)Meet DiNozzo's replacement in "NCIS."

With Tony DiNozzo's (Michael Weatherly) imminent departure from the squad, Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) is eyeing two agents who can replace his best boy in "NCIS."

According to CBS, the first on the list is a slick British officer who has recently worked with the MI-6. His name is Clayton Reeves and he will be played by actor Duane Henry. Described as "offbeat and fun with swagger to spare," the handsome agent takes pride in his blue-collar roots and will be a great addition to the team with his quick-thinking, wit and humor. His experience as an intelligence officer will also help in the NCIS investigations. In his statement, executive producer Gary Glasberg was full of praises for Henry.

"We think we found something really special in Duane Henry. His unique blend of charm, heart and athletic physicality is going to be a great addition to the mix," he said.

Aside from Reeves, the NCIS is also looking at a female FBI agent to join the team. Tess Monroe, who will be played by actress Sarah Clarke, has recently transferred from New York to Washington and is eager to get to work again. Tough and sweet at the same time, she is a multiple divorcée but with no kids. She and the MI-6 actor are scheduled to appear in the show in episodes 23 and 24 to air on May 10 and 17, respectively. Although both actors are only set to guest star in two episodes, CBS is considering whether to have them as series regulars depending on the fans' feedback.

Meanwhile, the upcoming episode titled "Homefront" will see actress Reiko Aylesworth in a guest-starring role. TV Line reports that she will be Anne Marshall, the wife of a Marine Master Sergeant, whose teenager son manages to foil bandits from invading their home. The episode will be the continuation of a previous storyline where a British spy entered the US illegally to get revenge with the NCIS team responsible for killing his wife.

"NCIS" season 13 returns on Tuesday, May 3 at 8 p.m. EDT on CBS.
