I Was Surprised To Learn One Frequent NCIS Actor Never Wanted To Be A Series Regular On CBS, But The Reason Makes Sense: ‘I Think You Lose Track'

Of all the actors who’ve appeared on NCIS over the course of its multi-decade run on CBS, Joe Spano has racked up the most appearances of anyone outside of the main cast, having appeared as Tobias Fornell in 58 episodes, as well as one episode of NCIS: New Orleans . Even more impressive, Spano has popped up in all but one season of the procedural franchise’s flagship show, and hopefully we’ll see him again when Season 22 starts airing on the 2024 TV schedule . However, the actor has never wanted to become an NCIS series regular, and he explained
In addition to reminiscing about the time he hugged and comforted Cote de Pablo shortly before she departed NCIS early into Season 11, Joe Spano shared his thoughts on Off Duty: An NCIS Rewatch to her and fellow former NCIS cast member Michael Weatherly about why joining the show’s main cast isn’t something that appeals to him. In his words:
Joe Spano has experience being a series regular from his time as Henry Goldblume on Hill Street Blues , one of those detective shows you may have forgotten about . And yet, he never wanted to hold such a position for NCIS , or it sounds like any other show, because he’s not a fan of having to alter his personality in order to promote said show. Clearly he’s enjoyed his time on NCIS , but he’s comfortable remaining a recurring player for that reason rather than it taking up too much of his time.
NCIS Season 22 premieres Monday, October 14, and the Leroy Jethro Gibbs-focused prequel NCIS: Origins will follow immediately afterwards. Use your Paramount+ subscription to stream the entirety of the procedural franchise, and remember that the platform will also be the exclusive home for Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo’s spinoff NCIS: Tony & Ziva .
