Is There an Updated Cast List for NCIS: Sydney, the CBS Franchise’s Latest Spinoff? Get the Latest News!
NCIS Sydney, the latest addition to the successful NCIS franchise, is set to captivate audiences as it ventures outside the United States, landing in Sydney, Australia. Created by Morgan O’Neal, and executive produced by Sarah Richardson and Sue Siri, NCIS Sydney is poised to make its debut. This new chapter follows a collaborative effort between agents from the United States Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) to tackle crimes in the stunning backdrop of Sydney, Australia.
While it’s an exciting expansion for the NCIS franchise, it’s worth noting that the real-life Australian field office of the NCIS is located in Perth, on the opposite end of the country. Nevertheless, the allure of Sydney adds an extra layer of intrigue to the series.
Let’s delve into the core cast of NCIS Sydney before its much-anticipated premiere:
Todd Lasance – A familiar face for Australian viewers, Todd Lasance is renowned for his roles in shows like “Home and Away,” “Rescue Special Ops,” “Crownies,” and “Bite Club.” American audiences may recognize him as Julius Caesar in “Spartacus: War of the Damned,” or from his appearances in “The Flash” as Edward Clariss, also known as the Rival. Lasance takes on the role of Sergeant Jim “JD” Dempsey, a character closely linked to AFP counterpart Michelle Mackey, played by Vanessa Lachey.
Sean Sager – Although Sean Sager may not have an extensive list of credits, his role as Agent Desan Jackson is a significant one. His previous work includes characters like Marco in “Fate: The Winx Saga,” Mal in “The Gentleman,” Robbie in “Buffering,” and Charlie Jizzy Crow in “The Covenant.” Jackson may not have as much experience as Mackey, but he’s bound to be an invaluable asset in the field.
Tully Aral – Tully Aral may not be a household name in the United States, but her role as Constable Eevee Cooper, an AFP Lea an officer, is set to introduce her to a wider audience. With previous appearances in Australian TV shows like “All My Friends Are Racist,” “Mystery Road,” “Origin,” and “Bad Behavior,” Aral’s career is on the rise.

Now, as we transition from the field agents to those who support them behind the scenes, let’s meet the professionals who assist in the investigations:
