‘NCIS’ season 11 spoilers: First photo of Michael Weatherly with Keith Carradine

Ready to see a very unrecognizable version of Keith Carradine? Than the next new “NCIS” episode entitled “Rock and a Hard Place” (which airs a week from Tuesday) may be your ticket to getting just that. You’re also going to be getting a story here that could not be any more different than the recent 250th installment entitled “Dressed to Kill.”

In case you missed some of the previous details that we shared about this story, the former “Dexter” star (who also has experience on other CBS shows like “The Big Bang Theory” and “Criminal Minds“) is going to guest star here as a washed-up rock star who is somehow involved with what could be a very deadly plot. This is when the NCIS team gets involved, and apparently he ends up spending a little time with Michael Weatherly’s Tony regardless of whether or not he actually wants to. We find the photo above to be pretty funny, and we know already that this is not the only occasion in which they cross paths. (At some point, expect to see Tony actually on stage at a concert … which is probably not a moment that goes very well for him.)

There is some more good stuff coming up for “NCIS” even after this episode is over, including the upcoming two-parter that takes many characters to New Orleans for a story that should help to set up the proposed spin-off set in Crescent City. Also, things are going to take an emotional turn moving into the finale, given that there are plans in place now to address the passing of Ralph Waite and consequently the Jackson Gibbs character.

What do you think is going to happen on this episode, and do the photos make you a little more excited? Share below, and head over here to get briefings on all of your favorite shows via our CarterMatt Newsletter.
