Often, long-running shows like NCIS: Los Angeles, in this case, have characters come and go midway through the series. In the most recent episode of the hit CBS series (April 10), viewers were introduced to Jordyn Rountree, the sister of Special Agent Devin Rountree. In this article, we’ll talk about Ava McCoy, the actress who plays Jordyn Rountree.
Read on to find out about her role on NCIS: Los Angeles, career, boyfriend, and more.
Ava McCoy on NCIS: Los Angeles
While many were worried that their favorite agent Devin Rountree might be leaving, CBS simply wanted to give viewers a chance to learn more about Devin’s personal life by introducing them to his loved one, his sister, Jordyn Rountree.
Ava McCoy debuted on NCIS: Los Angeles in an episode called Perception, playing Jordyn. Not much was known about Ava’s character on NCIS: Los Angeles before her debut.
In her first episode, Devin and his sister, Devin McCoy, are stopped by police and treated harshly in an apparent case of racial profiling. Before Ava’s debut, CBS released a promotional image for the episode, showing the duo handcuffed next to a police car.
However, we believe that Jordyn will stay and as the story progresses this season, we will get more and more insight into Agent Devin’s personal life.
