NCIS: L.A. season 12: Fan-favourite makes a comeback
CIA Officer "Vostanik Sabatino" (Erik Palladino) is a fan-favourite on NCIS: L.A. and he's returning to the series in the new episode "Love Kills." Officer "Sabatino" is looking for "Pietra Rey" (Mariela Garriga), who viewers already know from season 9, and needs the assistance of the NCIS: L.A. team.
"Sabatino" is investigating the murder of a man who was going to expose a forgery scandal. "Pietra" is suspected to have been involved and must be found. The new episode airs on Jan. 10 on CBS.
"Sabatino" actor Erik Palladino is a veteran of NCIS: L.A. dating back to season 3 in 2012. Most recently, he also acted in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Watchmen. What's more, he sings in the rock band Hearing Red—one multitalented star. Now fans can look forward to seeing Officer "Sabatino" again.
