NCIS season 22 introduced a new villain, Gabriel LaRoche, to the series, and it’s about time. Some of the best seasons of NCIS involve an over-arching narrative with a recurring villain, setting up NCIS season 22 to stand out among the rest. The series cast Seamus Dever as the Gabriel LaRoche character, who had a mysterious role in the season 22 opening investigation. LaRoche’s positioning in the case flipped during the premiere, introducing a shifty character to challenge Alden Parker (Gary Cole) and his Major Case Response Team (MCRT).
