NCIS;Los Angeles spin off

Recently there has been a lot of casting news for the spinoff. So far they´ve cast the characters

Dave - Scott Grimes

Roy Quaid - John Corbett

Kai Ashe - Edwin Hodge

Clara - Gillian Alexy

Paris - Kim Raver

I have already expressed my own sincere annoyance/disgust with the way the characters were described in this post NCIS:LA spinoff - oh dear and I stand by what I wrote about my own thoughts on the description of the characters. I always feel like tearing out my hair when I read descriptions of the "sexy, tough female agent" or any description of a female TV character that includes more adjectives on beauty than anything else. Because of course, it´s impossible for a woman to do her job without being sexy and always gorgeous looking. Because gosh, women looking normal is like so last century!

In this world we live in today where the emphasis is nothing but beauty and looking sexy for women and girls are constantly bombarded with the message that they must be sexy in order to be valuable, things like this don´t help the cause of trying to counteract this thinking and instead emphasizing women´s worth is so much more than their beauty, it´s also their brain and character. It´s something I feel very strongly about and it´s a matter that needs to be discussed.

I have been  following the casting news with mild interest and I am honestly liking the actors they´ve cast.. The series will premier as a part of a two parter on NCIS:Los Angeles. And I will watch that two-parter as I am curious to see how this will turn out. I will not watch the series if it´s picked up but I might need to eat up my own words. Most of the characters are older than I imagined them so I am getting more curious how this will turn out.

So often, the description is only the veil and what it becomes turns out to be so different. After all, it´s in the end the actors that bring the characters to life. And what turns out can be surprising. As I´ve said earlier, I am enjoying the male actors they´ve cast and this could turn out to be good. And considering how well NCIS:Los Angeles turned out, this could be good.

So I will watch the two-parter, crossing my finger´s it won´t make me throw up.

And Miguel Ferrer will become a regular on NCIS:Los Angeles. That´s great news in my opinion :)
