This Monday, it is time for the 22nd NCIS season finale. Today, when Wilmer Valderrama was on CBS Mornings, he revealed that not everyone is going to make it to season 23.
Astronaut Gayle King asked the actor if anyone is going to die in the episode. “Somebody does die,” he told her. “Somebody dies. And it’s not the murder of the week. It’s somebody, unfortunately, very close to us. And it’s going to be very earth-shattering and really heartbreaking.”
Who is going to be? “It’s going to shake up the team, and I think it’s going to probably really push us to go rogue in season 23,” he explained. “The biggest idea was to say, ‘How do we disrupt the peace of season 22 and set up the tone for season 23?’ And this episode does that better than we’ve done in many years.”
Is it going to be his character, Nick Torres? He told the anchors he hasn’t seen the episode yet, so he doesn’t know.
When I saw that there was going to be a death on the show, I said to my friend, who watches the Navy procedural, that I wonder if it is going to be him. However, after listening to him, I think it might be Gary Cole’s character. I think he took over for Gibbs when Mark Harmon left the show.
Who do you think won’t be back next season, due to what I assume are cost-cutting measures?
Oh, and Valderrama announced that he and his fiancée, Amanda Pacheco, are expecting a baby boy later this year. They are already parents to Nakano, 4.
