Former “The Cosby Show” star Geoffrey Owens's confirmed guest starring role in “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 is looking to be an exciting opportunity for him after his Trader Joe's photo hullabaloo. But fans may wonder what purpose Owens's Commander Adams will play in the upcoming “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5.

Not much has been revealed about Geoffrey Owens's Commander Adams in “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5. CBS mentions that Commander Adams is an old friend of Dwayne Pride (Scott Bakula) whom Pride goes to for spiritual and medical advice. For those wondering why Commander Adams took five seasons to make an appearance before being called upon by Pride, fans can look to the upcoming installment's premiere episode.

Fans will remember that when “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 airs with its season premiere, Bakula's Dwayne Pride is still suffering from three gunshot wounds to the chest. While Scott Bakula will not be leaving the show's cast anytime soon – confirming his survival – it seems that the show's writers are looking to explore more of Dwayne Pride's brush with death in “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5.

It seems fans can expect Dwayne Pride to do some soul-searching after the “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 premiere. Fans can expect Commander Adams to be Pride's mentor on how to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder. The show's executive producer, Christopher Silber, mentions that Geoffrey Owens embodies the values of compassion, competence, and heart – values which can help bring to life Commander Adams as he helps his longtime friend recover from the traumatic experience of almost dying.

While it looks like Geoffrey Owens's Commander Adams will be playing an important role as Dwayne Pride's savior in “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5, fans may have to set expectations that they won't be seeing him quite often on the show after his stint. Geoffrey Owens recently signed on for a recurring role in Tyler Perry's “The Haves and the Have Nots,” which will most likely be Owens steady gig amidst the sea of guest starring roles that are being offered to him.

Fans looking forward to Dwayne Pride's character development as he recovers from the crisis brought upon by the last season can look forward to “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 airing its premiere episode on Sept. 25.
