Michael Weatherly Breaks Silence on Social Media After NCIS Return
Michael Weatherly has finally addressed his surprise return to NCIS in a recent social media post. After leaving the CBS procedural nearly a decade ago, Weatherly’s reappearance as Tony DiNozzo in Season 21, Episode 2, caught fans off guard. His comeback occurred in a tribute episode honoring David McCallum’s character, Dr. Mallard. Although there had been speculation about the return of Mark Harmon’s Leroy Jethro Gibbs, it was DiNozzo who made a memorable re-entry.
Weatherly’s return delighted fans, and he took to social media to express his gratitude. In his post, he shared a photo with director and NCIS: Los Angeles star Daniela Ruah, who is set to direct several episodes of NCIS this season. Weatherly also praised Brian Dietzen, who plays Jimmy Palmer, for co-writing the touching tribute episode dedicated to Ducky, alongside Scott Williams.
The post received enthusiastic reactions from fans and highlighted Weatherly’s lasting bond with the NCIS family.
