If you’ve been a longtime "NCIS" viewer, or if you’ve been catching up in the show with your Paramount+ subscription, you may remember actor Matt Jones for playing Ned Dorneget, a probationary agent who was introduced in the Season 9 episode “Sins of the Father” and became a full-fledged agent by Season 12’s “Troll.” Sadly, Ned died just one episode later, although this was a request that Jones made so that he could star opposite Anna Faris and Allison Janney in the sitcom "Mom." However, looking back, Jones regrets making said request, which is kind of hilarious.br br During his conversation with fellow "NCIS" alums Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo on their podcast "Off Duty: An NCIS Rewatch," Matt Jones recounted how during the period where he was making occasional appearances as Ned Dorneget, he was also starring in pilots for various TV networks that didn’t get picked up. As such, these guest-starring roles were necessary for him to pay the bills, with another notable example of this being his 12-episode "Breaking Bad" stint as Badger. Then Mom, which can be streamed with a Hulu subscription, was picked up, giving Jones his biggest small screen gig yet.
