Fans should expect some changes in the cast once “NCIS: Los Angeles” season 11 premieres this fall. The team will be short of one man as Eric Beale (Barrett Foa) is slated to miss a significant part of the next installment.
It is not that strange for a long-running TV series to see some cast members leave and for new ones to arrive. However, in the case of “NCIS: Los Angeles” season 11, the question fans should be asking is whether or not Foa’s leaving is temporary or for good.
‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ season 11 cast: Should fans bid Eric goodbye permanently?
TV actors leave their shows for several reasons, and in the previous years, fans have seen writers and producers bring a beloved character back from the dead. Case in point is Ziva David’s (Cote de Pablo) appearance at the finale of “NCIS” season 16. As for Eric’s case, fans should not need to worry because her absence will only last for a very few episodes in “NCIS: Los Angeles” season 11.
Per TVLine’s report, CBS agreed on letting Foa skip the first six episodes of “NCIS: Los Angeles” season 11, so he can be part of the “Angels in America” play at the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis. The production will be showcased on Sept. 4 to Oct. 6. So fans who ship Eric and Nell (Renée Felice Smith) can relax because they will definitely still work together in the upcoming installment.
