HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Nov. 25, 2015 - PRLog -- The hit show NCIS, now in it's 13th season on CBS, will feature renowned pop artist Ralph Michael Brekan on the holiday episode 'Spinning Wheel', airing on December 15th, 2015. Brekan portrays victim 'Rufus Simms', a foil in the procedural plotline.

The role of Rufus Simms on NCIS opens up new avenues for the artist. Brekan is taking this opportunity in stride, holding a realistic outlook on professional acting. "I had actually given up on the idea of on-camera roles back in high school," says the 41-year old artist. "First off, what are the odds?" He laughs continuing, "I'm very lucky, and grateful, that Terrence O'Hara and Mark Horowitz chose me for the role on NCIS. Background actors go years, some their entire career without this opportunity." Brekan adds. "I kinda became struck in this idea that filmmaking happens behind the camera. But, really what are people watching? The set I've designed? The light I hung? The prop I carefully set on the counter in the foreground?" Brekan smiles, "The audience comes to watch the actors perform within this world we created. I'm ready to step into the world of acting."

Now eligible for membership in SAG-AFTRA, the union representing on-screen talent, Ralph Brekan is actively seeking talent agency referrals and celebrity management representation.
