Correction: Torri Higginson not on CSI: NY, but NCIS

[wraithfodder]

A while ago I reposted info about Torri Higginson doing a guest shot role on CSI: NY, which would have been great. However, today a fan posted at SG1_Spoilme with a correction. 

Torri is actually appearing on CBS' military forensics show, NCIS, and 'there is a good chance that she will have a recurring role on the show.' This clarification come from one of the directors of Torri's current project, Smile of April. The ironic thing is that Jessica Steen, who originally played Dr. Weir in Stargate Atlantis, had a recurring role as Special Agent Paula Cassidy in six episodes of NCIS between 2003-2007. 

And, the movie Smile of April has several Stargate SG-1 alumni: Alex Zahara (in 3 episodes of SG1), Anne Marie Loder (2 episodes SG1), Ryan Robbins (Ladon in SGA), and Dan Payne (Supersoldier).

Oh wow. That's even better! :) NCIS is one of my favorite-if not my VERY favorite-shows. I wonder what part she'll be playing. :) Now I'm very intrigued.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I quite enjoy it too and honestly, I think she'll get a meatier role on NCIS than on a CSI, where people are either the corpses or the killers ;)

[tringasolitaria.livejournal.com]

I agree. :D Especially with there being the chance of her part being recurring. I'm very excited about this. :)

I've seen some speculation that she may be playing one of Gibbs' ex-wives. What do you think?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

hmm, that would be interesting...

[malnpudl.livejournal.com]

Oh, god, I hope they don't put her in a red wig. *g*

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

were the ex's all redheads?

Fingers crossed for Torri that she gets a recurring role. For some reason I don't usually watch NCIS even though I really like Mark Harmon.

If you are a Dr Who fan (or not, I'm not one) the hit spinoff Torchwood with Capt Jack Harkness starts airing in the states tomorrow night on BBC America. I really liked it.

Fortunately, Jack Harness was 'meh' for me, otherwise I'd be whinging about not having BBC America (wish I did!) However, the ads do look intriguing.

Excellent! NCIS has very good writers and if she's recurring she might get a bit of banter with Gibbs:)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

HOpe so too :)

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

I'd have rather it was CSI:NY...I've never been able to get into NCIS despite it being a spin-off of one of my favourite shows...

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad she'll be on primetime. Thank god it's not Desperate Housewives ;)

[pisces227.livejournal.com]

I still can't believe that Nathan Fillion is joining Desperate Housewives. I may have to tape it and just watch the scenes he is in.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I don't think I can tolerate DHousewives even for Nathan...

[malnpudl.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool! Thanks very much for the news!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

You're welcome :)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I'm happy another fan over at the Torri Higginson posted it first :)

Thank you for the news! I ♥ NCIS~

[eleveninches.livejournal.com]

Oooh, do you have any dates on that?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Hmm, not sure where they are in their filming schedule right now...but probably will air during the winter months.

Technically Steen was never on Atlantis, actually, just on SG-1.

Also Connor Trineer has been on NCIS. They've got a little revolving door going on over there. :)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yup, you're right, and I remember Connor on NCIS, too :) In fact, CBS gets more Trek/SG actors than the other networks....

[mortnme.livejournal.com]

Sweet!! NCIS is way better than CSI. And recurring would be fantastic! Will this be fore season 5 do you know? Probably 6 though. I also can't wait for Smile of April to come out, I saw a preview ages ago and it's been too long!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Don't know when it will air, but if she does UFC and I get there, I'll ask!

[mortnme.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Thanks :)
