When it comes to the characters on "NCIS: Hawai'i," diversity, dynamism, and eclectic personalities are some of the words used to describe the cast. Now in its second season on CBS, the fourth series in the long-running "NCIS" universe continues to engage audiences with thrilling storytelling as delivered by a trope of agents and intelligence specialists. Regarding the program's casting decisions, Monique Jones of Common Sense Media said, "[The show] gets props for legitimate inclusion of native Hawaiian people in its cast."
Vanessa Lachey leads the series as Special Agent Jane Tennant, the Hawaii field office's first-ever female Special Agent, alongside Alex Tarrant (Kai Holman), Yasmine Al-Bustami (Lucy Tara), and Ernie Malik (Jason Antoon).
