The 'NCIS'-verse aired its 1000th episode tonight, and for actor Brian Dietzen (Dr. Jimmy Palmer), “A Thousand Yards” wasn’t just the perfect way to honor the CBS show’s longevity. It was also the latest in a long line of episodes created with a team he’s proud to be a part of.
“It’s hard to get a better gig than this,” the actor tells EW about his role as bespectacled medical examiner Jimmy Palmer.-verse aired its 1,000th episode tonight, and for Brian Dietzen, who plays lovable medical examiner Jimmy Palmer, “A Thousand Yards” wasn’t just the perfect way to honor the CBS show’s longevity. It was also the latest in a long line of episodes created with a team he’s proud to be a part of.
Well, I think you’ve got to honor everything. There are a lot of people. Those 1,000 episodes don't happen without over 1,000 people working behind the scenes over the course of these 21 years, not just on our show, but on our sister shows as well. So I was really, really happy when I was reading this script to see some shout-outs to past characters that are no longer on the show and also past storylines that meant a lot to the fans and meant a lot to us asThe ending, it just got me.
Yes, we all saw this coming. From season 1, the assistant to Donald Mallard, we were like, “That guy. That kid right there. The guy with the Harry Potter glasses. That's the guy that's gonna have the lead romantic relationship.”No, of course not. That was never a thing. It was kind of a punchline that no, there's no way that guy could be the one to get the girls. But it's been nice to see that evolution for Jimmy for sure, and for him to find happiness has been great.
Obviously, that was the episode that no one wants to write because it means we've lost someone that's so near and dear to us, a member of our family. And Scott, from what I understand, stood up and said “If we're going to do a Ducky tribute episode, I'd love to be a part of that.” Scott's has always been so good at writing for David, and he said, “I think that it's only right if Brian joins me on this. We’ll write this thing as a team.
