As buzz builds around Tom Ellis’ upcoming CIA-focused spinoff, fans are already eyeing FBI: International’s Cameron Vo (Vinessa Vidotto) as the perfect partner for the charismatic but dangerous operative at its center. And frankly? They might be right.
Across four seasons with the Fly Team, Vo has proven she’s more than just a sharp agent—she’s a stabilizing force. Someone who understands how to balance high-stakes diplomacy with hard-charging justice. That’s exactly the kind of presence Ellis’ character may desperately need.
Let’s rewind: In FBI: International season 4, Vo’s former mentor Wes Mitchell (Greg Hovanessian) joined the team as its new leader. Charming but volatile, Mitchell often leapt before looking. He was a man ruled by instinct and ego—traits that clash in a job requiring finesse and international cooperation.
Vo didn’t just tolerate Mitchell. She managed him. She talked him down, rerouted him from near-catastrophic decisions, and reminded him of the value of restraint without ever undermining his authority. That kind of steady strength is rare—and it’s exactly what a rogue CIA agent like Ellis’ character will need when navigating the moral grey zones of covert operations.
The CIA spinoff is expected to have a grittier, shadowier tone than FBI’s globe-hopping procedural style. But that contrast makes Vo even more compelling as a crossover figure. Imagine her—trained in clear protocol, seasoned by cross-border investigations—suddenly plunged into a world where the rules bend, alliances shift, and truths are classified.
It wouldn’t just challenge her. It would elevate her.
And Ellis’ unnamed CIA character? Based on early reports, he’s no boy scout. Charming, driven, and morally ambiguous, he likely operates with a level of personal freedom that would make most Bureau agents nervous. Vo, however, has experience keeping chaos in check. Her history with Mitchell proves she won’t be bullied, manipulated, or charmed off-course.
In fact, the chemistry between a rogue CIA agent and a no-nonsense FBI handler writes itself. She follows the rulebook. He is the exception to it. Sparks fly. Tension builds. And under it all is a dynamic based on earned trust—because if there’s one thing both characters share, it’s an unwavering commitment to protecting lives, even if they clash on the methods.
Could Vo leave the Fly Team for good? Maybe not permanently. But as an embedded liaison or borrowed federal partner in a multi-agency operation? That’s not just possible—it’s probable, especially if the CIA spinoff is set to intersect with the FBI universe the way Most Wanted and International have.
And creatively? It’s a goldmine.
Vo brings discipline, emotional intelligence, and an often-overlooked nuance to FBI missions. Paired with a high-risk, off-the-books CIA operative, her arc could expand dramatically—from team player to field commander to the moral compass of the new show. It would also give Vinessa Vidotto a powerhouse role that stretches her character’s growth, testing Vo’s limits in ways we’ve never seen.
At its core, this potential partnership is about balance.
The calm and the storm.
The mission and the man.
And when you’ve already proven you can handle a force like Wes Mitchell, stepping into the CIA to face down Tom Ellis’ rogue agent might be the next chapter Cameron Vo was born for.
