Since its premiere episode, "Yankee White," playing FBI Special Agent Tobias Fornell, the FBI counterpart to NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, portrayed by Mark Harmon, Spano has been a recurring character in NCIS.

Fornell's personal life was used as the main plot of an NCIS episode: one where Fornell's daughter is imperiled and another where Fornell's career is imperiled. It's the friendship between Gibbs and Fornell that is invoked in order to involve NCIS in the resolution in each episode.
