- NCIS will reunite two Freaky Friday’s actors, when Jamie Lee Curtis guest-stars in a pair of November sweeps episodes, sharing scenes — and on-screen sparks – Mark Harmon. In what’s being billed as a special two-parter, Curtis will play Charlotte Ryan, a strong, opinionated career woman from the Office of the Inspector General in the Department of Defense. The character is also described as someone who will spar with Gibbs and the team like never before, so “don’t be surprised if there are sparks between Gibbs and Ryan,” says NCIS executive producer Gary Glasberg. “We’re expecting some real chemistry.” Source
