In case you haven’t heard, CBS is working on another "NCIS" spinoff, this one set in New Orleans. Now we can reveal the pilot has found its star: Scott Bakula.

The Golden Globe-winning Quantum Leap actor will play NCIS Special Agent Pride, a man who “embodies New Orleans.” The role description states Pride is driven — not by pride — but by the “need to do what’s right and does it all with warmth, passion, strength and humor. He’s a unique federal agent working in one of this country’s most unique cities.”
