NCIS fans can rejoice as a familiar face returns for the new season. Joe Spano (76) returns to NCIS for the 20th season. The show starts as a crossover with the spinoff NCIS: Hawaii. 

"Jane Tennant" (Vanessa Lachey) and "Nick Torres" (Vilmer Valderrama) team up to clear the name of "Gibbs" replacement "Alden Parker" (Gary Cole). But they won't take on this difficult task on their own, as revealed in a first-look snapshot from the crossover.
