‘NCIS: Los Angeles’: Who Plays Sam Hanna’s Son, Aiden?
The upcoming episode of NCIS: Los Angeles focuses on Sam Hanna’s son, Aiden. He’s in trouble and the NCIS LA team must come to his aid. Here’s what we know about the actor who plays Sam’s son.
Sam Hanna gets troubling news in the next episode of ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’
During NCIS: Los Angeles Season 14 Episode 4 (titled “Dead Stick”), Sam receives a call that his son, Aiden, had an accident and his plane went down. This was a troubling call for Sam because he lost his wife, Michelle Hanna. She was a CIA Agent who was killed during NCIS: Los Angeles Season 8 Episode 3 (titled “Uncaged”).
Aiden survives after his plane goes down, but now he’s under investigation. Sam’s son is being accused of causing the crash. Aiden is highly trained and would never cause a plane to go down intentionally, so it’s important for him to clear his name. Aiden attended Keating Military Academy, which is the same academy his grandfather and father attended.
Although Aiden is highly trained, he has a reputation for losing his temper, executive producer R. Scott Gemmill tells TV Insider. “Aiden has a reputation as a hot dog,” says Gemmill. “He’s been reprimanded for his flight behavior.”
The NCIS: Los Angeles team helps with the investigation. “They investigate mechanical error, the ground crew, something within the new technology of the jets that somebody hasn’t been honest about,” adds Gemmill. “Hopefully, one exonerates Aiden.”
