You were great on NCIS. I always hoped you'd become a regular, not a recurring character, on the show.
You'll be missed. RIP

I'm glad his last episode on NCIS was such a good one. He did a great job in that role! It will be a sad episode when they address his passing.
Goodnight Daddy!
Goodnight John Boy!

Aww, really? I was hoping for maybe some scenes still. Could he just stop doing the show though? I mean he has a contract so he could be forced to still do some episodes.
