abit of old news.
Before Michael was famous he guest stared in a movie called Private Wars, He was a martial artist/fighter. His two scenes in the movie consist of: in a jail cell fight with the star of the movie, and in the last big fight of the movie helping the star fight 3 on 3 with the bad guys, the good guys of course winning.

Michele, do you remember where you read this. I've been following Michael Weatherly (actually stalking him) since I was a wee child in 1992. I've seen almost everything he's done and I've never heard of this. I'm haunting the internet - searching - searching. To be the honest, I've hired an underling to do the searching. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJLa6-R9MoA&NR=1I just watched it a couple of times and they were the most adorable couple. I know I have this, with other interviews of the cutest couple in our world, but I haven't watched them in a long time. Maybe not since they broke up. The European trip to promote Season 2 ( rhymes with P.U.) was planned when they thought the show would be renewed. There are photos posted somewhere from that long ago time. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Thanks Dutch.

abit of old news. He was a martial artist/fighter. Somehow I find that really hard to believe. It's more likely that it's one of the 'other' Michael Weatherly's. Patiently waiting for screencaps of Our Michael in fighting mode

Don does put things into NCIS that sometimes happens to the actors in real life. David McCallum said that you need to be care full on what you say on set cause it could end up in an episode later on.

If you want to read the interview without squishing up your eyes - here 'tis.
TV Guide November 7, 2007
Michael Weatherly
Q: What can you say about the reports of turmoil on the set, which ended with creator Don Bellisario leaving the show?
MW: I stay largely outside the politics of the show. I learned two lessons on another show [Dark Angel, in which he costarred with - and became engaged to - Jessica Alba]: The less I say the better, and don't date your costar! So Mark Harmon and I have never dated. Though the silver fox and I did spend a week in Vermont that nobody knows about.
Q: Spoken like DiNozzo. Do you think your character's wise-guy humor is back in form this season?
MW: I guess so. The thing I like about the show is the energy behind the characters. On other procedural dramas, there's a very glum, serious, dour kind of feel. I like the idea of there being an Alka-Seltzer in the midst of all that stuff.
Q: You were born Michael Manning Weatherly Jr. That's quite a mouthful.
MW: [Laughs] I did get called "Junior," of course. Then when I begged my mother for corrective sunglasses and wore them at night, my father nicknamed me "Hollywood." Nobody got called "Hollywood" in Connecticut. The Connecticut I grew up in was an old-fashioned, Norman Rockwell place. So I was excited to move on and see what the world had to offer. Of course, now when I go back, it's so idyllic and beautiful.
Q: Your family is huge due to multiple marriages, right?
MW: I have one full brother, three half sisters, and then it starts getting fuzzy. I have two stepsisters and a stepbrother from my father's [first] wife. My mother had kids from her first marriage and got remarried and she has three or four kids. It's sort of dysfunctional in that "Royal Tenenbaums" way.
Q: Who were your inspirations back then?
MW: When I was 14, Ray Davies of the Kinks was my No. 1 inspiration because I loved his wry look at everything. Then when I was about 19, I went through an Elvis Costello/Woody Allen thing, which was really just neurotic men with glasses because I wore thick black glasses. Then I discovered-
Q: Contacts?
MW: No, I always wore glasses. Last year, I got Lasik, and now I'm an eagle-eyed motherf----r!
Q: So after Woody, you discovered...
MW: Cary grant. I watched "His Girl Friday," "Bringing Up Baby," anything I could get my hands on. I loved that breezy attitude. So it was pretty much an easy jump to Tom Hanks. I saw every Tom Hanks movie on opening day - which is how I came to "Joe Versus the Volcano." That was the catalyst [to becoming an actor]. My girlfriend Betsy thought I was a lunatic to move to New York. And clearly Betsy was on the money.
Q: Your first real role was on Cosby?
MW: I played Theo's roommate at NYU. I was rocking a James Spader hairdo. And I had no idea what I was doing. I'm sure they almost fired me that first day. But that sense of failing made me take acting seriously.
Q: What's the big lesson you've learned since?
MW: I know that to be on this show [NCIS] right now is a huge deal. I don't underestimate it, but I also don't overinflate my own importance. And I'm happier at 39 than ever. But I also feel it's just kind of starting.
Q: How do you feel about turning 40 next July?
MW: I'm psyched. I was never the twentysomething who played the high-school student. I always played married men. But I think 40 is a good age - my girlfriend certainly doesn't want to go out with a 25-year-old.
Q: Girlfriend? Does she have a name?
MW: No. [Laughs] She's a very good thing. She's studying to be a doctor. I'm extraordinarily happy and lucky.
Q: So you're not the cad you play on TV?
MW: No. Over 10 years, I was in three relationships. I'm like a golden retriever. I'm a pretty loyal dog as long as I'm getting my ALPO and my water.
Fun Fact Weatherly knows that he can't escape his past as the onetime fiancé of Jessica Alba. "If you Google me, there it is," he says amiably. "It's just part of the wash.
And she's just excellent. I'm extremely happy with the little career that I've cobbled together, but Jessica lives in a very fantastic, so to speak, universe. She is a remarkable lady."
