The alumna of such shows as Eureka and Eastwick has landed a two-episode November sweeps arc on NCIS, TV’s most-watched drama series, as Melanie Burke, a Navy Lieutenant Commander who is a chaplain at the Navy Yard.
The first of Newman’s consecutive episodes airs Tuesday, Nov. 8, when Burke meets the NCIS team and starts to work closely with them on the investigation a military plane crash.
If perchance things don’t get particularly hairy for Newman as a woman of the cloth, there’s this: On or around the time she begins her NCIS run, the actress will also guest-star on an episode of NBC’s new supernatural drama, Grimm, which bows Friday, Oct. 28. There, she will play blutbad Angelina, one of the episode’s titular “Three Bad Wolves.”

NCIS Engaged Parts 1 & 2. Looks like my wife and I are not up to speed on who is related to (or looks like) who. But we independently came up with Lauren Holly and Jaime looking so alike they had to be related. Good performance BTW. Hope they create a recurring NCIS role for Jaime’s character Melanie Burke
