The last time we saw NCIS agent Mike Renko he had been shot in an ambush alongside Sam and Kensi in the episode Burned from Season one of NCIS:LA. Unfortunately, the quirky NCIS undercover agent has been missing from the Mission ever since. Fans of Renko, played by Brian Avers, will not have to wait much longer to see him back in action and working again with Callen and the gang. He is scheduled to make a return in the Season three finale and we couldn’t be more excited!
Avers is a Buckeye (Ohio) native who attended New York University where he received a Master of Fine Arts and a Global Fellowship in the Arts. He has worked on Broadway in such productions as Rock and Roll and The Lieutenant of Inishmore. His film and television credits include Julie and Julia, Gigantic, Law and Order, Castle and The Medium. The actor is currently wrapping up production for the movie The Weekend where he also worked behind the camera for the first time as director and co-writer.
We checked in with Brian to see what he has been up to since season one. NCIS:LAFan asked Brianif he would answer a few fan questions, and he generously agreed to sit down and talk about his time on the show and what’s up next for Mike Renko.
Very Cool. Love Renko and am looking forward to his return.
Ow, great! Thank you so much Brian for answering all those questions. It must be strangely tough to not knowing or not being able to tell if there is more future for Renko in the show next season…
Hope so!!
This was a great interview. I loved reading everything, Brian's projects and special the answers #NCISLA related. Thank you so much for answering my question, I loved the answer, It was exacly the answer I was hoping for. I always knew that Renko had a thing for Kensi.. lol. If wasn't for Deeks, I would totally shipped Kensi with Renko, but Deeks won my heart over LOL Good luck for all your projects, hope to see you back to NCISLA in a more regular basis: (Really hope you're not killed in the Season finale).
Thank you so much!
You said a lot, we really feel like knowing you better with your detailed answers; and willing to know more: crossing fingers for your movie…
All these #ncisla behind the scenes were amazing, and the difference between directing movie or stage is a great course!
Merci aussi pour le français! I'll translate all your answers for our French board; S3 has just started in France, we gonna wait for (too) long before watching your return in French (dubbed show…)! We all can't wait!Luckily some of us won't, thanks internet!
Thank you so much for great interview! I'm one of #NCISLA fan who has kept thinking where Renko is & when he comes back again. Cause I have a interest about Callen & Renko's relationship! I thought they shared something more in the past.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Renko again in final episode. And I really hope we'll see you again in NCIS:LA world! Thank you so much for the great interview! I
