Mon Jan 27 08:10:00 IST 2025: **NCIS: Origins Star Caleb Foote Promoted to Series Regular**
LOS ANGELES, CA – Caleb Foote, who plays NIS Special Agent Bernard “Randy” Randolph in the CBS prequel series *NCIS: Origins*, has been promoted to a series regular, Deadline reports. The promotion coincides with the show’s winter premiere, “Flight of Icarus,” airing January 27, 2025.
Foote’s character, a mentor to a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Austin Stowell), will have a significantly expanded role. This development is particularly noteworthy given Randy’s absence from the main *NCIS* series, hinting at a potentially pivotal storyline involving his relationship with Gibbs. The upcoming episodes will delve into the past of another key character, Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid), making character-driven narratives a focal point of the season. The showrunners suggest that Randy’s past actions, including his role in protecting Gibbs’ family and a confession to a priest, will become increasingly significant to the plot.
*NCIS: Origins*, set in 1991, chronicles Gibbs’ early career at the Camp Pendleton office. The series explores the formation of his character and his relationships with key figures who shaped his future. Foote’s promotion signals a continued commitment to developing the show’s characters and further integrating them into the larger *NCIS* universe. *NCIS: Origins* airs at 10 pm ET on CBS.
