Leaving NCIS: Are Mark Harmon's 'NCIS' Days Numbered?

NCIS fans are still freaking out over exec producer Shane Brennan’s cryptic tease last week that Gibbs will be forced to make a “life-changing decision” this May “that will impact every member of the team.” In fact, the tantalizing spoiler left some wondering — crazy talk alert! — if Mark Harmon’s days are numbered.

“I don’t think [that's the case] but I don’t know for sure,” Harmon told us last night prior to the PaleyFest ‘10 event honoring NCIS. “I’m still having a blast doing the show. That hasn’t changed since Day 1. I have no plans to leave. I have a contract with significant more time on it. But that may not stop the producers from getting rid of me if they think that best serves the story or the show. But I have no plans to take myself out of the game.”

Michael Weatherly: NCISinger/NCISongwriter!

Michael Weatherly has serious singer/songwriter chops. Did you know so, about DiNozzo? He'd pursued a career in music long before he got sidetracked by acting and ended up on NCIS, which now, suddenly, in its seventh season, is the No. 1 show on television. (Story from Pepsi Music Blog)The overwhelming success of NCIS—the first dramatic show in years to be averaging over 20 million viewers a week—has prompted two soundtrack albums, the second of which features Weatherly's official debut as a recording artist. In this Q&A, the TV star talks about trying to seduce girls with Police songs as a teenager, his nearly lifelong idolization of Elvis Costello, and the sad personal circumstances that brought him to write "Bitter and Blue," his wry contribution to the NCIS CD.

And if "Bitter and Blue" isn't enough musical Michael for you, you can hear demos of that and a few more of his songs at www.MichaelWeatherlyMusic.com.

Looking Like Robert Wagner Has its Pluses for MW

By MAXINE SHEN, New York Post

How do you make TV’s No. 1 show even better?

Just add Robert “RJ” Wagner.

The star of “Hart to Hart” and “It Takes a Thief” returns to TV this week for the 150th episode of “NCIS” in which he plays agent Tony DiNozzo’s (Michael Weatherly) father, Anthony DiNozzo Sr.

It doesn’t take a casting-whiz to see why these actors are perfectly suited to play father and son: They look a heck of a lot alike.

“Isn’t that a nice compliment?” says Wagner, 79. “I see it a bit, I do, and my wife [Jill St. John] sees it a bit, too. I think it was kind of serendipitous.”
