LL Cool J has been cast on “NCIS: Hawaiʻi” Season 3 after a surprise cameo during the Season 2 finale of the CBS procedural Monday night.
Reprising his role as Sam Hanna from “NCIS: Los Angeles,” LL Cool J is slated to join the “NCIS: Hawaiʻi” cast as a recurring guest star in the series’ upcoming third season.

“All of us at ‘NCIS: Hawaiʻi’ have been huge fans of LL Cool J for years and couldn’t be more thrilled or honored to be adding his spectacular talent to our ohana for Season 3,” executive producers Matt Bosack, Jan Nash and Christopher Silber said in a statement, using the Hawaiian term for family.
