Sean Murray opened up about his long-standing role on NCIS in an October 2019 interview. “It is pretty unreal,” the actor admitted to the website MEA WorldWide. “We often have [guest] stars asking us how it is to be part of something that has gone on for 17 years that is so popular with such a loyal fan base. It is like hitting the lotto twice, so it’s pretty amazing.”
Murray’s appreciation for the series couldn’t be more clear, especially since he also told the publication, “Being part of something like this and the legacy NCIS will have… that it does have, [is something] I’ll be proud of being a part of for the rest of my life.” That’s a promise fans are ready to take the actor up on. When one of the show’s storyline featured McGee considering a tech job in Silicon Valley, viewers stepped out to express their outrage.
Fans were so upset that Murray actually had to quell their fears. “I’m under contract right now, so I have no plans to leave the show,” Murray told Country Living in May 2019. “I don’t think McGee’s going anywhere.” And NCIS‘ loyal fanbase wouldn’t have it any other way.
