SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary NCIS star Brian Dietzen has opened up about the ending of the franchise's 1000th episode, describing how it honors the whole series since the very beginning. The episode featured many Easter eggs to the whole series, alongside a case that had ties to the start of the flagship series.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Dietzen, who has portrayed Jimmy Palmer from season 1, explained how NCIS' 1000th episode honored the legacy of the franchise. The actor revealed what it was like to know the series has been going on for so long, while also reflecting on how the ending honored everything that had come before. Check out what Dietzen had to say below:
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 as NCIS family members.
The ending, it just got me. It’s one thing to read it in script form, but then when you get to see it, and see how visually it all comes together with the music swelling and you're showing some of these seminal moments from the history of NCIS and also simple moments like Gibbs helping a kid build a tree house. You know, the stuff that made NCIS what it is for two decades. And you're reminded that this is how we got here. Yeah, it definitely got me.
