Get a complete overview concerning Anthony Ruivivar Is Joining 'Ncis: Hawaiʻi' — Who Is This Excellent Addition.

Jane Tennant's ex-husband, Daniel Tennant, is played by veteran actor Anthony Ruivivar. Anthony first rose to prominence playing Shujimi in 1997's Starship Troopers, and two years later, landed the role of Carlos Nieto on NBC's Third Watch. The series, which followed the lives of NYC police officers, firefighters, and paramedics, stayed on the air for six seasons and 132 episodes.

In more recent TV news, fans of all things spooky (and who isn't) will recognize Anthony from his time on Season 1 of The Haunting of Hill House, where he played Shirley's (Elizabeth Reaser) husband Kevin Harris. As if the creepy factor wasn't already dialed up to 11 on the show, Kevin and Shirley owned a mortuary. Is it weird to admit we're jealous?

Speaking of terror, Anthony played serial killer Richard Ramirez, aka the Night Stalker, in 2016's American Horror Story: Hotel and was upsettingly great in it. That same, year he showed up in the Scream television adaptation on the other side of the criminal wall, as Sheriff Miguel Acosta. It must have been a wild ride going from killer to cop.

Anthony has also jumped around the Criminal Procedural Cinematic Universe with stints on the original Law & Order, Criminal Minds, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and NCIS: Los Angeles. One of the coolest things he's ever done is voice Bruce Wayne/Batman in the sadly canceled Beware the Batman. The show lasted only four months on the Cartoon Network before Adult Swim picked it up to finish out the series. What a cruel joke(r).
