Elsewhere, the Sci Fi Channel has tapped former "24" villain Paul Blackthorne to play the lead role in its movie/pilot "The Dresden Files," executive produced by Nicolas Cage.

Holly joined "NCIS" at the start of this season, playing Jenny Shepard, the agency's new director, who has a history with Agent Gibbs (Mark Harmon). She's appeared in five of the show's eight episodes this fall; her first episode as a regular will air Tuesday, Nov. 22 (the show is pre-empted next week for CBS' broadcast of the CMA Awards).
