NCIS Star Sean Murray Speaks Out On Exit Rumors

by

Sean Murray, who plays Timothy McGee on NCIS, is responding to talk that he might be leaving the show. He’s been with the CBS drama since it began, starting as a guest star in season one before becoming a main cast member in season two. Now, he’s one of the longest-running original actors still on the series.

Now that season 23 has begun, fans are wondering if McGee might be preparing to leave the show and pursue a new career. Major characters have left NCIS before – Mark Harmon’s departure as Leroy Jethro Gibbs in October 2021 was a significant instance.

So, I was reading TVLine, and Mark Harmon – well, he finally addressed all the buzz about whether he’s leaving NCIS. He basically said that on a show like that, you never really know what’s going to happen. He pointed out that even seemingly safe characters aren’t immune to shocking twists – he even brought up Caitlin Todd’s death back in season two as a prime example of how quickly things can change. Here’s what he had to say…

Gossip and surprising plot twists are always part of the show. Characters can face unexpected dangers, and no one is ever truly safe. We’re known for taking risks – for example, a main character was killed off at the end of the second season.

Murray suggests that the rest of NCIS season 23 will have some exciting surprises. He notes the show is known for unexpected twists and promises upcoming episodes will deliver developments that fans will find enjoyable and refreshing.

As a huge fan of the show, I’m really excited about what’s coming up! The creators have hinted at some genuinely surprising twists, and they’ve assured me that longtime viewers like myself are in for a real treat – it’s going to be different and unexpected for everyone, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

Currently, it doesn’t appear McGee’s departure will be as dramatic as Caitlin Todd’s death. The worry stems from him feeling stuck in his career. He has passions like writing that he might pursue if he continues to be frustrated with Gabriel LaRoche and misses out on promotions. However, as the writer points out, unexpected things could still happen.

Since Mark Harmon left the show, McGee has been in more NCIS episodes than anyone else. If he does leave in the future, the writers will need to give him a meaningful and fitting exit. Alternatively, by the end of season 23, it might become obvious that McGee intends to stay with the team for the long haul.

NCIS season 23 airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
