Star Wars fans, take notice. Billy Dee Williams (ESB and RotJ’s Lando Calrissian) will be guest-starring on CBS’s #1 drama NCIS tomorrow as Leroy Jethro Moore, the man for whom Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) was named for in the fifth episode of NCIS‘s tenth season, “The Namesake.”

The episode synopsis reads: “A petty officer found dead in the car of a millionaire has ties to a friend of Jackson Gibbs prompting an investigation.” You can watch the preview of the episode here at CBS.com.

NCIS airs on Tuesdays at 8:00 pm eastern, 7:00 pm, central. For those of you on the east coast who may miss the episode due to Hurricane Sandy related weather reports or electric/cable outages, the episode will be available on CBS.com starting Wednesday.

Joss Whedon Returning for ‘Avengers 2’ and … A TV Series!?

Posted on by

Sitting down? Good. Brace yourself. Marc Graser with Variety just dropped this bombshell from Disney:

First off, great news that Avengers 2 will keep on running with Joss at the helm. Second, Joss heading back to TV? Be still my beating fandom heart!

This sounds like it’s the TV show that was rumored to be in the works last week. While it wouldn’t feature any of the current Avengers (because wow that would be an expensive TV series), it looks like it’s going to feature Joss Whedon’s flair for episodic television. Perhaps S.H.I.E.L.D the television series? Given that this is Joss, I’m holding out hope for something featuring Carol Danvers.
