Michael Weatherly’s unexplained post has NCIS fans speculating over a return storyline
NCIS fans have been hoping for Michael's return to the drama
Michael Weatherly gave his best Michael Caine impression on Monday, but it’s the role of Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo that fans are hoping he’ll take on next.
Returning to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday, the TV star shared a photo of himself posing in a seriously sharp suit, and while the actor noted that Hollywood icon Michael Caine had served as his inspiration, fans remarked that he looked more like his NCIS counterpart, Tony DiNozzo.

Sparking a major reaction from fans, Michael was almost immediately inundated with comments. “New Director of NCIS impression,” wrote one. “How about a Tony impression?” quipped a second. Meanwhile, a third penned: “Looks like a certain #NCIS agent we all miss.”
Among the comments, several suggested that Michael’s black suit might have something to do with a potential return to NCIS, namely a tribute episode to the late David McCallum. “Or Tony DiNozzo going to Ducky’s funeral?” pondered a fan.
Following the death of NCIS’ longest serving cast member, David McCallum, in September, there has been widespread speculation about the possibility of a special episode. Ultimately, fans have been hoping that Michael, and his former co-stars Mark Harmon and Pauley Perrette, might return to the show to pay tribute to David, by attending his on-screen character, Ducky Mallard’s funeral.
