“NCIS” Star Michael Weatherly: That’s How His True Story Ended Up on the Hit Series!

Of course, ‘NCIS’ is mainly appreciated by its many fans as an exciting crime series, but in its twenty (!) seasons it is not unusual for the makers to blur the boundaries between reality and fiction: several real family members have already played fictional characters. characters – for example, a young version of Leroy Jethro Gibbs was played by Mark Harmon’s son Sean in several episodes. And the actors’ personal stories have already found their way into the plot of the series…

Even though it hasn’t been officially confirmed, it is true There are many indications that Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo’s family history influences the actor’s fate Michael Weerly is inspired: Because DiNozzo’s maternal grandparents cut him off from the family fortune, and his emotionally neglectful father pretends to be rich even though he’s actually been broke for a long time. Weatherly has had a similar experience.

The 55-year-old’s father started his own business exporting Swiss Army knives and opened a small knife shop, and at least initially, Weatherly seemed inspired by his business practices, as he told The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ( through ): “In fifth grade, my dad explained to me the difference between wholesale and retail costs,” the “Bull” star said.

“I came up with the idea that this way I could get a $50 knife for $7. I asked Dad if I could have some. I took the knives to school and started selling them. They sold like hotcakes. I even added ten percent just to make a living.”

But apparently his father later took it quite seriously that Weatherly did not want to continue his father’s knife business, preferring instead to pursue an acting career: According to various media reports (including… ) he was disinherited – just like his character.

Although Weatherly himself has not yet responded publicly, Tony DiNozzo, like him, has a very special relationship with Swiss army knives. Part of his personal family history has definitely made its way into the ‘NCIS’ universe.
