NCIS fans previously saw Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) in his youth and soon they will catch a glimpse of a young Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly).

The show’s executive producer Gary Glasberg called Stine a “terrific kid who literally studied Michael Weatherly’s mannerisms.”

He added that the young actor impressed them with his audition. “He came in with the haircut, the attitude, the whole thing,” he said.

Aside from Tony’s past, the website previously reported that fans may also get to see the character with a new woman this season. Actress Marisol Nichols, who plays ATF Agent Zoe Keates, will reappear in early 2015 for an "encore." The actress first popped up in an October episode and the former Philly PD colleagues exhibited a strong chemistry.

Emily Wickersham, who stars as newcomer Ellie Bishop, told the website that Tony and Zoe had "really great chemistry," adding that, "Tony's love life definitely unfolds."

NCIS airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
