**NCIS Spinoff Faces Controversy: Actor’s Dual Roles Spark Plot Hole Debate!**
As NCIS: Hawai’i bids farewell, a surprising casting decision has stirred up controversy for the franchise. Patrick Fischler, known for his role as Glen Smith in NCIS: Hawai’i, has landed a significant part in the upcoming spinoff, NCIS: Origins. However, this move has raised eyebrows among fans due to Fischler’s previous portrayal in the NCIS universe.
While character crossovers are common in TV, Fischler’s casting presents a unique challenge. Playing two distinct characters in the same universe, albeit in different timelines, could potentially create a continuity issue for the franchise.
In NCIS: Origins, Fischler will portray Cliff Walker, Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ boss and mentor. This casting choice has left fans scratching their heads, considering Fischler’s previous appearance as Glen Smith in NCIS: Hawai’i.
Fans are divided over the decision, with many questioning the logic behind casting an actor in two unrelated roles within the same universe. The risk of creating a glaring plot hole looms large, especially as Fischler’s new character exists in a timeline predating the events of NCIS: Hawai’i.
With viewers still associating Fischler with his NCIS: Hawai’i character, the spinoff faces the challenge of navigating this potential continuity issue. Only time will tell how the franchise addresses this unexpected twist.
