Michael will direct an episode for NCIS NCIS star Michael Weatherly takes lace was visiting this week in Paris. The interpreter of Agent DiNozzo reported that it had signed for an eighth season. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Weatherly smile. And not just because he returned from a trip to St. Paul de Vence with his wife. Sitting in the living rooms of a grand palace in Paris, the actor looks scroll Hollywood stars visiting the capital, Renee Zelwegger, Jessica Biel and other Bradley Cooper. But the most popular ... It's him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheers 42 years, this son of an American billionaire, an importer of Swiss Army knives, became a global star in interpreting the special agent Tony DiNozzo in NCIS, the detective series followed by 6.5 million each Friday in France on M6. "I just finished my first promo tour in the United States since the inception of the series, the actor admits. I usually do interviews in Australia, Italy, Sweden and Monte Carlo, because for many years, NCIS did better abroad than in North America. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But since 2006, we gain new fans each year. Season 7, you'll see in September in France, has surprised even the bosses of the CBS. On some episodes, it grew to 23 million viewers. "Weatherly, who had seen the past in Dark Angel, along with his ex, Jessica Alba, is for many in the mix of comedy and action makes the success of the series. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I have a natural tendency to avoid confrontation by turning things as a joke," admits the actor. Some see DiNozzo as a buffoon. I do not agree. Tony wears a clown mask behind which he hides his doubts. But beware. Once he makes you laugh is a signal that something serious will happen. The series can be read on several levels and I think that's what makes the viewers hooked. "Let the faithful to worry, after negotiations, Michael has just signed for an eighth season, as most of its partners. "And I'll even make an episode, this will be my first behind the camera. That and many other things that will make me more than an actor on the series! "To be continued. www.cbs.com/forum/posts/list/113487.page

its good that no one was hurt in the crash, a witness has said that a mini van cut MW off, and that he tryed to right his car but unlucky couldn't.
cars can be replaced people can't.

While I'm kinda curious to see how this turns out my general rule of thumb when it comes to TV shows is that when the inmates start running the asylum things tend to go down hill fast. Granted, Mark Harmon's been an executive producer for a while and it hasn't really hindered the show to much.

As Angel Z said when she posted elsewhere, "A very sweet blog post by Jesse Stern about MW." This is Jesse's comment on CBS' blog about working with Michael to develop the ep he directed and some interesting insight about him off camera. Nothing better than reading MW described as being as nice & genuine as he appears to be in interviews!One Last Score - March 1, 2011 I was once warned about Michael Weatherly. Lucky for me, I didn’t really understand what the warning meant. The first time I stepped on the set of NCIS was five years ago and there was this creature, this giant ball of energy and laughter and words that might at first appear to be non-sequitors. And he’s running around showing anyone and everyone the video montage he’s made on his phone that recounts his insane, whirlwind, around the world pursuit of a woman he’d just met. All set to a bubbly score. I thought it was nuts. But I watched it. And it made my heart blow up. And I’ll probably never forget it. Especially since a couple summers later I ended up a guest at their wedding. Pretty good little movie. I watched him work and I wrote for him and saw how he regularly spun gold out of straw and I started to see what inspired him and where he found the music to dance to. Eventually, I felt confident that I could strap a massive weight to his back and he’d do way more than just carry it. I came up with an episode where he would basically be tied to a chair for three days while his character lovingly described every aspect of the tiny world we were living in. We both discovered along the way that there’s not much difference between pretending to tie someone to a chair and actually doing it. But he never lost his smile. Probably because in order to make him look chapped and dehydrated his lips were coated in dried glue. Since that episode (Season 7’s “Truth or Consequences”) I’ve been excited to find a new challenge we could take on together. When I found out Michael had earned the opportunity to direct an episode, I was thrilled. I think the whole crew was. The thing about Michael is that he’s never oblivious to what’s going on around him. Even when he’s in the midst of one of his wacky, impromptu, verbal tap-dances that usually result either in unmitigated genius or unmitigated disaster, he’s well aware of all the people around him working to set the stage. He knows where the camera is, he knows where the lights are, he knows how his movements and actions affect and influence the workload the crew is carrying. He knows how to make it easier and he knows how to make it better. And they love him because of it. So when it came time for me to get to work on the story that became “One Last Score,” I did something I’ve never done before with a director. I went to him before I’d thought of much of anything. “How ‘bout something with a heist in it,” I said, during a brief walk from the set to the hair and makeup trailer where the good coffee is kept. “I’m picturing a warehouse filled with crazy expensive collectibles and someone’s trying to rob it.” He let the idea wash over him for a few seconds and then his eyes lit up in this sort of a mischievous way that he’s got, and he asked, “Can we put the sunglasses Steve McQueen wore in The Thomas Crown Affair in there?” And I just laughed, “Yeah. I think we have to.” That was how this story came about. I’d throw things at him in between set-ups, he’d throw things back at me. Then I gathered it all up and tried to piece it together on paper and I gave it back to him again and he ran with it. He asked every question he could. He consulted the opinions of all the great directors he’d worked with here. He learned more in a week than I thought possible. And by day three of that shoot, I’d totally forgotten that it was his first time directing. There are unique opportunities that arise when a show thrives as long as NCIS has. The lifespan, the growth, it requires you to be cognizant of your roots and conserve the aspects that have made it succeed. But it also asks you to push, to push yourself and the boundaries, to constantly find the new. There’s a wonderful, supportive family here that rallies each day to make that happen, to find something new. I don’t just mean the people we work with every day, I also include the people who watch, who give us the chance to play. So thank you. Thanks for watching. Thanks for caring.
