After a bit of time deliberating on offers, Owens is taking up a role as Commander Adams on NCIS: New Orleans, according to Entertainment Weekly.

The character of Adams is an old and valued friend of the show’s lead, Special Agent Dwayne Cassius Pride, providing “both medical and spiritual advice.”

“For Commander Adams, we needed someone with compassion, competence, and heart. That’s Geoffrey in a nutshell,” executive producer Christopher Silber told the publication. Read more…

Many people stepped to Owens’ defense. Read more…
