‘NCIS’ Season 22: 1 Star Returns After Being Introduced Several Seasons Ago!

NCIS is reintroducing us to a familiar face!

Episode 15 of Season 22, entitled “Moonlit,” just brought back someone from the show’s past.

They were first introduced in Season 18 of the show, and the character has so far appeared in Seasons 18, 19, and 20, not returning for Season 21.

Plus, they have a real-life friendship with one of the actors on the cast!

Special Agent Dale Sawyer (Zane Holtz) – RETURNED!

Dale Sawyer is also known as Torres’s (Wilmer Valderrama) NCIS frenemy, who will have ties to a Navy Lieutenant’s death.

Here’s the full episode summary: “After a Navy Lieutenant’s death reveals ties to Special Agent Sawyer (Holtz), Torres and Knight uncover a murder linked to a wealthy family. Meanwhile, Parker discovers a shocking connection between his mother’s death and Lily.”

For those who don’t remember, Dale Sawyer is an NCIS Special Agent assigned to the Navy Yard in Washington D.C.

Torres was originally worried Sawyer was there to replace him, and the two were at odds until Sawyer decided that, like Torres, he was also interested in undercover work.

Sawyer’s last appearance was in the show’s 450th episode back in 2023. At the time, the showrunner revealed that the actors are actually longtime buddies.

“We get a visit from Zane Holt, who has appeared in several episodes before as Agent Sawyer, but I don’t know if audiences know that he and Wilmer have worked together on other projects, so they are old and good friends…I didn’t have to manufacture any chemistry between the two. It was a director’s dream because they’ve been buddies for a long time, and it shows on-screen.”
