NCIS’ Michael Weatherly Shares When He Felt CBS Finally ‘Knew What They Had’ With The Show, And I’m Amazed It Took So Long
In the coming month, TV viewers can look forward to the debut of the 22nd season of NCIS on the 2024 television calendar, which positions it as one of the longest-running prime-time procedurals. Throughout its many decades on air, the beloved CBS series has seen a multitude of actors join and depart, such as Michael Weatherly, who played Anthony DiNozzo for the first 13 seasons before reappearing briefly in this year’s tribute episode dedicated to David McCallum. Reflecting on his time with NCIS, Weatherly recalls that it took CBS an unusually long period to fully appreciate the show and effectively market it.
