In the NCIS: New Orleans episode “Mirror, Mirror,” Agent Dwayne Pride’s (Scott Bakula) gorgeous girlfriend Rita Deveraux (Bakula’s real-life wife Chelsea Field) returns. She’s the one who informs Pride that corrupt, ex-mayor Douglas Hamilton (Steven Weber) is about to make a deal to get out of prison. While the whole team works together to figure out who Hamilton’s “mystery partner” is, Pride doesn’t just visit Hamilton in jail but he also sees his father, Cassius Pride, who is also incarcerated. Last time we saw Cassius was in the episode “Le Carnivale de la Mort,” when Dwayne discovered that his daughter Laurel had been secretly visiting her grandfather in jail. (You can stream 9000+ episodes and live TV with a CBS All-Access free trial.)
Pride’s father is portrayed by legendary actor Stacy Keach. The 76-year-old is known for his roles on Man with a Plan (Matt LeBlanc’s father Joe), Blue Bloods (Archbishop Kevin Kearns), Ray Donovan (Marty the Texan), Crowded (Puddy’s father Bob Moore), Two and a Half Men (Tom), Prison Break (Warden Henry Pope), Titus (father Ken Titus), Mike Hammer, Private Eye (Mike Hammer), among many others. And that’s just TV. Keach is also known for his roles in the films Nebraska (Ed Pegram), The Bourne Legacy (Adm. Mark Turso), Escape from L.A. (Cmdr. Malloy), and the 1989 TV movie Hemingway (as Hemingway), in addition to his voice-over work. NCIS: New Orleans airs Tuesdays at 10pm on CBS, right after Bull.
