Aside from Tony, the end of the season will also pay homage to Ralph Waite, who played Jackson Gibbs, the father of Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), since 2008. Waite, a veteran actor whose career spanned over 50 years, died on Feb. 13 at the age of 85.
"Mark has been talking about it and invested in it since the day we got the news, and it's important to us to give Ralph Waite the farewell he deserves," Glasberg said.
The cast and crew of the show previously released a statement regarding Waite's death: “Everyone at NCIS is deeply saddened by the passing of our friend and colleague Ralph Waite. Ralph was family to us, a tremendous talent and a very special man. We truly cherish the time we had with him. Our hearts and prayers go out to his loved ones.”
CBS announced that the NCIS season finale will air on Tuesday, May 13 at its regular time.
