The following is an excerpt from his interview only focusing on NCIS:



You're also about to start filming a guest role on NCIS, right?

Yes, the table read is today.


And is that for just one episode?

Yes, right now, but I think my character might come back. I certainly hope so.


You're playing Tony's dad?

Yes, I'm playing Tony DiNozzo's father, Anthony DiNozzo Sr.




Can you talk about what he'll be doing in the episode?

We sort of know that Tony may have a pretty strained relationship with his dad ...

Mmm, no, I really can't. But it will be pretty character revealing, for all of them. I like the show very much, and I like this role very much.

Michael Weatherly [who plays Tony] is a wonderful young man, and I've known Mark [Harmon] for awhile, so I'm really looking forward to it.




Have you had the chance to talk to Michael Weatherly about the fact that he played you in the TV movie The Mystery of Natalie Wood?

Yes, that's quite a coincidence. No, I haven't had the chance to talk to him about that.

I haven't seen the movie, but I understand that he was very good in it and that he portrayed me in a very positive way.



Did that have anything to do with the producers thinking of you for the NCIS role?

I don't know, I don't know. I'll find out today and let you know (laughing).
