Still, it would be somewhat surprising to see NCIS: NOLA bring in such a recognizable face as LeVar Burton (who is also known and loved for Reading Rainbow) just to kill him off.
After all, a guest shot on any of the NCIS series can pretty easily end in death and/or imprisonment.
At this point, LeVar Burton is only listed as a guest star for NCIS: New Orleans, so viewers shouldn’t count on seeing him return to the show with absolute certainty.
