NCIS: Los Angeles is concluding its final season with exciting casting news. Christopher Gorham, known for his role in Ugly Betty, will be joining the show as Alex, the estranged son of Hollace Kilbride. This family reunion won’t be a joyous one, hinting at significant drama in the closing episodes of NCIS: LA.
Season 13 has already set the stage for the father-son dynamics, with Kilbride opening up about his family life to Marty Deeks. He expressed regrets about not being there for his son and how his dedication to the Navy impacted his family. He also hinted at his son’s troubled past, mentioning a decade of separation.
Deeks encouraged Kilbride to reach out to his son and try to rebuild their relationship. It’s unclear whether Kilbride heeded this advice or if his son unexpectedly shows up. Either way, a harmonious family reunion doesn’t seem likely.
The show’s runner, R. Scott Gemmill, has previously expressed interest in exploring Kilbride’s relationship with Alex, indicating that this storyline will be a prominent feature of the series finale.
