NCIS: Los Angeles | We love it when show boss Shane Brennan starts a sentence with: “I’ll tell you something I don’t think Ive told anyone else….” This time around, during a chat at a Wednesday-night Television Critics Association soiree, he shared with me that not only does Season 3 pick up a mere three minutes after the finale left off, but the proceeding 43 minutes of the premiere will unspool in “real time” a la 24. “It has a narrative drive that is such that you should really go to the bathroom before you watch this show,” he advised with a chuckle. “We cocked the gun, so to speak.” Among what’s on tap, including the next surprising beats in the “Who is Callen?” story: A main character gets shot, “and the ramifications of that resonate for four episodes.” What’s that season premiere date again? Oh, yeah – Tuesday, Sept. 20.

I checked into a recent tweet from actress Bridget Regan, and the Legend of the Seeker star is confirmed to guest-star on NCIS: LA early this season. Alas, there are no details yet on her role or air date. Stay tuned!

Cool James links with the super producer for a new song intended for his show “NCIS.”
LL Cool J has been heavy on the acting grind over the past few years, but he’s dipping a toe back into Hip Hop. The veteran emcee recently hit the studio with super producer Jim Jonsin, who spoke to Vibe.com about recording a track for his television show NCIS.
“Working with LL Cool J. he’ll be coming by soon. He’s doing something for the TV show he’s on,” said Jonsin. “We worked yesterday, we came up with something really good, and today, we’re doing something else. We had stuff ready. Typically, I create stuff on the spot, but we had stuff ready because he didn’t have much time so he wanted us to send him some beats and then work on it in the studio with him.”
LL, who released his last album Exit 13 in 2008, previously recorded a track for NCIS titled “N.C.I.S. (No Crew is Superior).” At the time, he explained that it “represents the collective energy in the room” on the set of the show.
