TVLine.com reported that Battlestar Galactica actor Jamie Bamber signed on for the role and will appear as Jake Malloy, a NSA attorney.

"We've waited a long time to meet Bishop's husband, and we've found him in Jamie Bamber," showrunner Gary Glasberg said. "Jamie is a charming, talented actor, and we're thrilled to have him on-board for this Thanksgiving episode and some exciting surprises to come."

Glasberg previously told the website in August that Bishop's husband would soon be introduced. "We'll be getting into Bishop's background a little and meet her husband Jake, understand what their relationship is all about," he explained.

Agent Bishop, played by Emily Wickersham, joined the hit television show last season after the departure of Cote de Pablo's Ziva David. In her debut episode, "Gut Check," Bishop helped the NCIS team with a "high level security breach," which she predicted. Many NCIS fans were pleased with the new addition. However, it took a while for fans to really get to know the character.

Wickersham previously revealed how excited she is for fans to get to know more about the Midwestern character. "I'm not sure what's been revealed, to be honest, but it's a storyline that I'm really looking forward to getting to know more about," she told the website about Jake's storyline. "I think it'll be fun to see where Bishop comes from. She has three older brothers, which I think makes the transition to hanging out with the NCIS crew easier."

NCIS airs at 8/7c on Tuesdays on CBS.
