Now that NCIS‘ Ducky tribute episode has aired, the CBS procedural is pulling the behind-the-scenes curtain back on the hour’s very special guest, Michael Weatherly.
“DiNozzo wasn’t there just to honor the loss of Ducky; he was also showing up for his friend,” explains Dietzen.
In the above, Dietzen talks about how “wonderful” it was to hear that “familiar voice” break up Jimmy’s solitude.
And on Tuesday afternoon, TVLine was on-set (for the filming of the NCIS franchise’s 1,000th total episode), where we invited cast member Brian Dietzen (who co-wrote the Ducky tribute with EP Scott Williams) to break down the surprise cameo.
