NCIS: Los Angeles is currently airing its season 12 on CBS, with episode 8 next on the agenda on January 10 at 9pm ET.
One of the characters who has provoked interest is Arkady Kolcheck, played by Vyto Ruginis. The retired Russian operative has been on the show since season 1.
He is portrayed as a character who does not know his daughter Anastasia very well, and a friend of Callen.
Although he believes himself to be a great help to the NCIS team, it is a usual occurrence for him to bring trouble wherever he goes.
