Former Melrose Place star Thomas Calabro, who just signed on to appear as a murder suspect on Castle, will also appear in a January episode of NCIS, TV Guide reports.

He'll play Sam Feeney, a charismatic businessman who runs a high-end billiards club, and a former military officer tough enough to handle the regulars who get out of hand.

Good to see Michael Mancini's keeping busy these days. Should be a fun episode to watch. For more on TV's #1 show, check out our lengthy NCIS review from last night.
