So, we met Elvis — performed by Roseanne Barr's ex-husband, Tom Arnold — back in Season Three when he was Pride's former Navy Intelligence Analyst good friend, a hacker via industry, who also came about to struggle with something of a playing addiction.
Elvis also seems to have one thing of a following around the NCIS staff, where Sebastian begins calling him "The Hacker of the People." BUT THEN, they discover a dead body in the trunk of his car and it seems that Elvis have been looking to hint some knowledge — facet observe: can we discuss the idea of the internet in NCIS and how it makes 0 sense? — which this victim also wanted, which is why he ended up killing Elvis' friends in the first position. Hopefully this sounds acquainted.
Anyway, Elvis's is a loopy intro to the display, and ends with him getting an be offering to paintings at the FBI, which he turns down as a result of "he's moving off the grid." But will he be back to help out the group this season? Excitingly, sure.
This season, we'll even get to fulfill Elvis' daughter.
Iowa local Tom Arnold would possibly have a thing for New Orleans because he assists in keeping coming again to the CBS show year after yr. This season, he's bringing his daughter along for the journey — well, more or less.

Wendy even mentions that she did not grow up with him round, and that she resents him deciding to hack everyone to check out and father or mother her this past due in the sport. In the end, despite the fact that, everybody's grateful he did it because she's now not going to jail and managed even to construct one thing of a relationship with her dad.
Wait, is Tom Arnold unwell?

However, he appears to be OK in line with his Twitter and Instagram accounts that show him operating around celebrating Easter with his children Jax and Quinn.
In fact, this might just be a bit of texture Tom added for Elvis's character whilst filming. "I really can't stand Tom Arnold's 'accent' on this show," one disapproving fan wrote on reddit. "It sounds like he always has a cold." Another spoke back, "Agreed — it seemed extra nasally this time, like he had a cold or something."
Tom, maybe drop the nasal factor, you are confusing your fans!
