Rachel Luttrell to Guest on NCIS: Los Angeles

Stargate Atlantis veteran Rachel Luttrell will be back gracing your TV screen later this year.  The actress announced via Twitter that she will make a guest appearance on NCIS: Los Angeles.

Luttrell reported a successful table read today, with shooting to begin later this week.

She played the Athosian warrior Teyla Emmagan for five seasons on Stargate Atlantis.

No word on her NCIS character or when the episode will air just yet, but since it begins filming this week, odds are that it will turn up around November.

Season Five of NCIS: Los Angeles premieres Tuesday, September 24 (9/8c) on CBS.

In the meantime, see what Rachel has been doing lately! Her short film “Zarg Attack!”, with Connor Trinneer (“Michael”), is below. At just shy of 4 minutes, it also stars her young son, Caden Dar (born during the filming of Atlantis).

  • Tayla was definitely one of the worst characters in the SG franchise, painfully boring and uninteresting, SGA could have been so much better without her.

  • Loved Rachel as Teyla!! Happy to see her again on the TV screen! She was already on NCIS a year or so ago, perhaps same character?

  • Sorry ofer, but you're wrong. Tayla was an excellent character and was extremely well acted by Rachel. I so miss SGA and it kills me not know what happened to Atlantis. Did they get back to pegasus in the end?

    Also does anybody else find it frightening how old Rachel's son is now given she had him while filming Atlantis? Time flies huh? :)

  • I agree with Ofer. Teyla started as an interesting character, then episode after episode as SGA turned out to be the Shepard and McKay show, she became a background character.

  • Teyla is one of my absolute favorite characters and I adore Rachel. She is an amazing actress and I look forward to her being back on TV if only for a guest role.
