When NCIS comes back for its 23rd season next week, it will need to tackle the aftermath of a heartbreaking death. The end of season 22 saw Gary Cole's character Alden Parker have his life spared by his nemesis, mob boss Carla, who is played by Rebecca De Mornay , however only to later find she seemingly killed his father instead. Now, when season 23 premieres on October 14, fans will get to see Alden mourn his father, with the support of his on-screen sister.

Gary's on-screen sister, Navy Vice Admiral Harriet Parker, will be played by Nancy Travis , who is coming on under a guest starring role. Nancy is best known for The Vanishing, Three Men and a Little Lady, Greedy, So I Married an Axe Murderer, and most recently Sovereign as well as Grosse Pointe Society.
