Actors Sue CBS Over Police Response to Jewelry Heist Filming

A violent jewelry store robbery scene on the CBS TV show "NCIS: New Orleans" got way too real for the actors involved when real police officers showed up and pointed their guns at them. The actors are suing CBS.

The two actors involved in the scene, along with the jewelry store owner, have filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles against CBS for allegedly misleading them into shooting a realistic "guerrilla-style" armed robbery in broad daylight without proper permits or giving the LAPD and neighbors a heads up, TMZ reports.

The three men claim they were approached by "NCIS" producers in October 2017 about filming the robbery, and they agreed to do it under the assumption it was a "traditional television shoot" with permits, police present and standard safety protocols.
