The new male character looked on to fill the void left by Michael Weatherly's exit from "NCIS" after 13 seasons is billed as a young, physically fit rabble-rouser.

CBS is said to still be looking to cast the role, further described as what will beonly  the long running series' second black cast member. Rocky Carroll has starred as Leon Vance on the show since 2008.

Sources add the new character will be named Clayton, and will be the single father of a young son.

Weatherly Leaving at end of Season

One of the show's last remaining original cast members, Weatherly recently announced this will be his final season on TV's most watched drama series. Since then, speculation has run rampant about how series creators might decide to write his Agent Tony DiNozzo character out of the storyline.

Several media outlets have previously reported producers are also adding a female character named Tess to the show for Season 14.

As for Clayton, he's also described in an official casting breakdown as "loud, opinionated, often disrespectful, sarcastic, short-tempered and chauvinistic." The MI-6 Intel agent is expected to make his debut on the show before the end of this season.

Producers are also hoping to cast an actor who is of British or African descent in the role, also billed for someone who "can move like an athlete and think like a chess player."

'Clayton' Comes with Baggage

Making his character all the more interesting, Clayton is further described as someone who has burned his share of bridges in the intelligence community, yet remains unapologetic about the choices he's made.

"He welcomes a few pints at the pub and never denies a pretty lady his company," the official casting notice for the role reads. "Clayton wants the world to believe he doesn't give a damn, but the truth is he cares more than most."

"NCIS" also stars Mark Harmon as Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Emily Wickersham as Ellie Bishop.
