NCIS New York: New Star's Shocking Hollywood Past

Jacqueline Byers, who recently joined the cast of "NCIS: New York" as Agent Addison "Addy" Ross, has a notable pre-NCIS career in Hollywood. She previously held a recurring role as Natalie Shayne, a groupie, in Cameron Crowe's sole television creation, "Roadies." This dramedy, which also featured J.J. Abrams as an executive producer, followed the lives of a rock band's road crew.

Despite its notable creative team, "Roadies" was canceled by Showtime after one season due to poor critical reception. Following the show's conclusion, Byers continued to build her resume with appearances in the horror-thriller "Bad Samaritan," starring alongside David Tennant, and the CBS sci-fi series "Salvation."

Byers made her debut on "NCIS: New York" in the pilot episode this past October, establishing herself as a key member of the new investigative team. The series centers on LL Cool J's Agent Sam Hanna, who returns to New York to lead a fresh group of agents. Byers' character, Addy Ross, is part of this core team, which also includes Scott Caan as Nick Schaeffer and Shane Harper as Wyatt Sellers.
