“It was quiet on the set…”: On the set of NCIS, Michael Weatherly liked to be noticed.

podcast Off Duty: NCIS Rewatch Never ceases to reveal little behind-the-scenes anecdotes on NCIS. In a recent guest appearance with Jon Cryer, Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo reminisced about the filming of Season 3, Episode 14, during which the former performed one of his famous impersonations that wasn’t all that popular at the beginning of the series…

controversial episode “It tells the story of two sailor wives, both Korean immigrants, who are shot at home. NCIS is looking for a killer. They discover that the only remaining woman and the two victims are part of a sleeper cell of secret agents linked to North Korea.,” the main stakeholder explained before continuing his story (via Télé Loisirs).

“In this episode we meet another of my impersonators Sean Connery. I remember the first time I did it, there was silence on the set. They said, “You shouldn’t do that.” Everyone is a bit sensitive at first“, he continued Michael Weatherly.

But that didn’t stop him from continuing, as he noted when questioning his interlocutor and co-star: “How much do you think I did in total?“. -‘s answer Cote de Pablo says it all: “Oh my god, I think you’ve done so much I can’t count.“

“I think I did about thirty. And they are not good“, he concluded. “They turned out really fantastic“, however, his employee answered.
