NCIS: Origins to cast young Scott Bakula

Not only will it be cool for Origins to cast a young version of Scott Bakula's character from NCIS New Orleans but think of the possibilities ..

That actor could also be used to reboot Star Trek Enterprise and Quantum Leap.




On Friday night Star Trek watch party we had a Scott Bakula night and watched an episode of Quantum Leap (Sam leaped into young Al's body and accidentally got him pinned for SA and murder and had to fix it "Oh boy...")
I still can't get the theme out of my head.

It's hard enough for an actor to become legendary for just one TV role, but these individuals were able to do so for two characters on two separate shows.

Quantum Leap was such a unique show, and Bakula showed amazing scope in playing all those roles. I like him in Enterprise and NCIS too.
