Slightly OT: New NCIS Character
With NCIS renewed for two more seasons, they're adding two female characters to replace Michael Weatherly. This article gives the description for one of them.

Here is the description.
To be introduced in time for the Season 13 finale, the CBS drama is seeking a “name” actress to play “Tess,” an FBI Special Agent in her late 30s who has recently transferred to D.C. from New York City’s Counter-Terrorism Unit.
Described in the tentative casting breakdown as “quick-witted, sarcastic, shrewd” and “two parts bulldog, one part sweet kitten,” the G-woman can just as easily keep up with a group of politicians talking at a black-tie fundraiser as she can truck drivers at a roadside diner. In her mind, sleep and sex are “overrated” while a good martini and a rare bacon cheeseburger aren’t.
A three-time divorcée (because the husbands apparently “can’t keep up with her”) who has no children, Tess is content acting as “Mamma Bear” to any co-worker who needs a shoulder to lean on. Just don’t make her angry, because that’s when she tends to ruffle even her superiors’ feathers.
Sound like this role was tailor-made for anyone we know?
I'm sure Yvonne would not want to take yet another role of "hot ass-kicking female" (and who could blame her), but given her current status (only a couple of movies and Netflix passed on Edge), will she be able to resist an almost-guaranteed two-year deal north of $200K per episode? Especially if CBS gives her an out clause should she get the role of Carol Danvers? To CBS, it's a big shot in the arm for the series. And for Yvonne, she'd be financially set for life.
