NCIS star Brian Dietzen recently shared a personal 9/11 memory, recalling the tense moments when he feared for two friends who were supposed to stay in a hotel near the World Trade Center. Waking up in Los Feliz with his wife, Brian vividly remembered the disorienting and terrifying news. Fortunately, his friends had taken a morning flight and were safe in Las Vegas. Brian expressed gratitude for their well-being but reflected on the countless families and friends who weren’t as fortunate on that tragic day 22 years ago.
In a separate note, Brian, who has portrayed Dr. Jimmy Palmer on NCIS since 2004, remains a private figure when it comes to his family. He is married to Kelly Dietzen, and they have two children whose details are kept confidential. Brian, known for his commitment to his role on the show, shared a poignant message every year to honor the memories of those affected by the 9/11 attacks.
