Matthew Lawrence Guest Stars on NCIS: Watch Sneak Peek

Attention: NCIS fans, Matthew Lawrence is joining the cast for a guest starring role next week, and Us Weekly has the exclusive first look.

Lawrence, 44, will play Danny Butler, the son of a retired spy and dementia patient Captain Butler (John Getz). When Danny discovers his father’s true profession it makes him wonder if he ever really knew the man.

“My father is a spy for the Russians?” Danny asks in Us’ exclusive first look at Lawrence in the Monday, November 11, episode (see above). “How is that possible?”

Agents Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) and Jessica Knight (Katrina Law) explain that his father’s spy days happened before he was born, but that doesn’t calm him down.

“First, he spends my entire childhood on deployment, and now you’re telling me he’s a traitor? That’s just great,” Danny quips.

While Torres and Knight try to figure out if Danny holds any clues to Captain Butler’s whereabouts they ask, “Did he have any friends, anyone from his past who might’ve spoken another language?”

A frustrated Danny fires back, “What, like, Finnish? Don’t you guys think I would’ve told you that?”

Once Danny starts to realize that NCIS isn’t the enemy, he apologizes for his outburst. “Sorry, it’s just a lot to take in,” he explains. “It seems like everything I know about my father is a lie.”

Torres totally understands. “You don’t have to apologize, I’ve been there,” he replies.

Danny is at a loss when asked where his father could’ve gone, telling Knight, “I really don’t know about my dad’s time in the navy.”

He explains that his dad kept all his Navy relics in boxes. “When mom died, I moved in to take care of him. We put most of his stuff in the garage,” Danny says, agreeing to let the team look.

“Just don’t tell me what you find,” Danny adds, shaking his head in disbelief.

The episode тιтled “In From the Cold” will follow the NCIS team as they work with the CIA to figure out “what secrets are being kept” by Captain Butler before his dementia erases his memory, according to the official synopsis.
