Every crime drama needs its technical specialist, and the recently premiered "NCIS: New York" has Sean Sullivan, played by Devin Druid. If Sean Sullivan kind of reminds you of a teenage character from a show you can't remember, it's likely because Druid's most popular role before "NCIS: New York" was as Tyler Down on Netflix's teenage drama "13 Reasons Why." Although he's still young, Druid appears to be on the right path by adding a main cast role on a major network TV series to his acting resume.

Outside of "13 Reasons Why" and "NCIS: New York," Druid has had other smaller TV roles, including appearances on "Louie," "House of Cards," and "9-1-1." As for his film roles, Druid played Conrad in the 2015 film "Louder Than Bombs" alongside Jesse Eisenberg and Gabriel Byrne. Druid will appear as Stan in the upcoming horror film "Crossed," a film adaptation of a comic of the same name. The young actor has also appeared in a handful of short films over the years, including "The End of the Party" and "Rent Boy."

It's sometimes hard to believe that it's been more than 20 years since the original premiere of "NCIS," but Devin Druid, who grew up watching the show, is an on-set reminder of how far the show and its spinoffs, now including "NCIS: New York," have gone. Druid talked to Entertainment Tonight before the show's premiere about his experience of being welcomed by the cast, and working with "NCIS" actor Brian Dietzen, who plays Jimmy Palmer.

"Everybody's been so welcoming and so kind. Brian Dietzen, who gave us an amazing shout out the other day, is going to be joining us on the first episode," said Druid. "He and everybody else on the team have just been amazing hosts and welcoming us in with open arms."

Druid then went on to say how he grew up watching the show as a kid and now there is a connection between himself and multiple generations of people with the "NCIS" universe. "It's such a long-running series now that's kind of evolved with numerous generations. It's cool to now get to be the Gen Z kid in the NCIS world."
