Philip Winchester Joins NCIS: ORIGINS Season 2

Philip Winchester ("Ransom Canyon") has joined the cast of the upcoming second season of "NCIS: Origins". The actor is set for a key recurring role opposite Kyle Schmid, and his character will be introduced in the season's fourth episode.

Winchester will play Mason Franks, the older brother of Mike Franks (Schmid), a Texas-tough cowboy who has recently hit rock bottom. Mason is an honorable man who has fallen on hard times and is desperately trying to keep from losing the family ranch. His desperation leads him to seek help from his estranged little brother.

Season 2 will pick up following the Season 1 finale in which Gibbs (Austin Stowell) manages to escape arrest for killing the man who murdered his wife and children. But his freedom came at an enormous price: after going the extra mile to help Gibbs, Lala (Mariel Molino) is seriously injured in a car accident after swerving to avoid a child.

"NCIS: Origins" is a prequel set prior to the events of "NCIS", and it follows a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs in 1991. For the first time, we'll get to see a crossover episode in November between "NCIS" and "NCIS: Origins" that has been described as a "decades-spanning mystery". Both "NCIS: Origins" and "NCIS" will return October 14th on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

David J. North, Gina Lucita Monreal, Mark Harmon and Sean Harmon executive produce for CBS Studios. Jason Kennedy, Krysti Baxter and Meredith Goble are the casting directors.
