NCIS will say goodbye to season 13 and Tony DiNozzo on Tuesday night, and Michael Weatherly spoke about the finale and the end of his time on the CBS series in a recent press phone conference.
According to Deadline, the actor spoke about finding out something new about his character while filming the episode. He said the following:
“I discovered an aspect of DiNozzo that had never been revealed before, and it truly surprised me. In that scene, I didn’t recognize any Michael Weatherly at all, and very little Tony DiNozzo. It was more like DiNozzo to give Gibbs mouth-to-mouth resuscitation than this thing that he does in the last episode.”
Michael Weatherly has left the world of NCIS behind, but he is willing to return if needed. The actor made that clear in his comments. This likely means DiNozzo will leave happily instead of by tragic circumstances. He teased the following:
“I believe in the franchise of NCIS very much. I would absolutely be open to anything and everything, including things that no one’s even thought of yet. So the long answer is yes.”
CBS fans will not have to miss Michael Weatherly long. The network picked up his pilot, titled Bull, on Friday.
Check out a sneak peek from the finale below. Are you a fan of Michael Weatherly? Do you plan to watch his departure from NCIS on Tuesday night? Tell us what you think.
I still can’t believe the ‘powers that be’ are letting him go !!! What a mistake!!!! He is the best part of the show. From his old movie fettish to his dad to his good looks, he is the regular guy on the show.-The one we all want to know and be friends with.Don’t let him go!!!!!!
I will miss Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo. NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO REPLACE HIM. I just hope you have Tony and Ziva leave together.
Will be watching finale love this show and hope it will go on for 13 more. Good luck to michael and will be looking for his new show.
Love him he gives the show balance….. when I watch and get sad or upset he makes me smile or laugh………noooooooooo don’t goooooo……don’t think it will be the same I’m still missing Siva David…smh
I have watched his work forever and will watch his farewell. Why is he going??
I have watched Michael every since her was on a soap opera over 20 years ago. I have enjoyed his glib and snappy banter ever since. He, besides Mark and David was the reason I have watched N C I S since day one. I will miss him so much but I still have Mark and David.
I am so sorry to see Michael Weatherly go! To me, it just won’t be the same! I hope he returns!!
Looked forward to Tony on the episodes,
on NCIS. This is a team! Will look him up
On his new gig!
Wish him the best.
Cannot watch NCIS because of the loud music being played while actors are speaking. Cannot even hear them.
I love everyone of the NCIS cast. I will sincerely miss Micheal Weatherly yet he’s made his choice…I will continue to be a big fan of whichever show he stars in. NCIS will also still be one of my favorite shows! I will definitely be glued to my TV set on Tuesday…crying with tissue box in hand.
Have missed Ziva terribly and now Tony. I just hope they find a decent replacement for Tony. While he’s been with the show all along, I have always enjoyed his character. I wish him well on his new show but will miss him a lot on NCIS.
I will greatly miss him, but wish him well in his new series. The rest of the cast, I am behind you! Love you all!!
Sorry to see Michaell Weatherly go! Won’t be the same without him! Wish him the best of luck! I guess we won’t see Robert Wagner again either! Life goes on!
I hope they don’t kill Tony, put typically this Bellariso kills off characters when actors leave. It won’t br NCOs without Tony.
Gonna be so sad!
