Anthony DiNozzo, a beloved character in NCIS for 13 seasons, has fans eagerly speculating about his return to the show. Michael Weatherly, the actor who portrayed DiNozzo, has been active on social media, sparking hopes of his comeback. The impetus for his return in season 21 comes from the shocking death of series star David McCallum.
Many suggest that past veterans like DiNozzo and Jethro Gibbs should return to pay their respects. While it would be nice to see DiNozzo back, Weatherly has not addressed these rumors. Considering the time that has passed and the show’s focus on new characters, the chance for a significant return may have dwindled. A cameo from the character would be welcome, but his legacy may remain in the past.
