The NCIS: Los Angeles cast will again feature Anatoli Kirkin on the new episode of the show. We have seen the character on the show before, most notably as a Russian mafia guy with links to Isaak Sidorov.
Sidorov was a big character back in Season 4 of NCIS: LA. He was an arms dealer who had a history with Michelle Hanna, NCIS Agent Sam Hanna’s wife. Michelle ended up going undercover to help bring him down, and Sam was the one who shot Sidorov.
