What To Know

Adam Campbell reprised his role as young Ducky in NCIS‘s 500th episode, guiding Vance (Rocky Carroll) in accepting his death.

Campbell talks to TV Insider about filming the milestone and working with Carroll.

From the TV Insider article:

"...When NCIS fans tuned into the show’s milestone 500th episode, they were treated to not only an outstanding hour, but one that featured a shocking exit (Rocky Carroll‘s Vance was killed) and return (Adam Campbell reprised his role as young Ducky to guide him).

“It was amazing,” Campbell, who also returns as the character in the March 30 episode of NCIS: Origins, tells TV Insider of returning and working with Carroll on those scenes. “It was quite heavy, I’ll say, because not only was it the last scene in the episode, it was also the last scene he shot. And so it was quite a privilege to be there while he was saying goodbye as it were to everybody on set. It was quite emotional for the camera guys and just everyone there who’ve been working with Rocky for so many years. So, it felt really heavy. I felt very privileged to be there...”

From the TV Insider article:

"... “He always had a way of knowing who I was meant to be.” So says Mark Harmon in the emotional voiceover that caps off the NCIS: Origins serving as a tribute to the late David McCallum, with Adam Campbell reprising his role as the young Ducky.

Ducky has come to Pendleton to determine if they need an in-house ME — Franks (Kyle Schmid) is, of course, suspicious — and reunites with his old pal Gibbs (Austin Stowell), ultimately leaving him and everyone he encounters better for it. “He comes in sort of as this wonderful magical storm in a way, and everyone is influenced by his presence,” notes executive producer Gina Lucita Monreal, who wrote the episode with Margarita Matthews.

NCIS: Origins airs on CBS on Tuesdays at 9/8C, and streams on Paramount+ on Wednesday.

From the article:

"...Adam Campbell returns as the younger version of the franchise’s beloved medical examiner Donald “Ducky” Mallard, immortalized by the late David McCallum, whose music is heard throughout the special episode. Ducky arrives to evaluate whether Pendleton could use an in-house medical examiner, much to the delight of probie Gibbs (Austin Stowell), who met him several years earlier and whom Ducky fondly refers to by his middle name of Jethro, “a name for a leader of men.”

From the TV Insider article:

Adam Campbell reprises his role as young Ducky in NCIS: Origins, with an episode that pays tribute to the late David McCallum and features McCallum’s iconic song “The Edge.”

[NOTE: Adam Campbell has portrayed young Ducky in four previous episodes: S12, E3 - "So It Goes,' S13 E11 "Spinning Wheel," S14 E10 "The Tie That Binds, and S18 E2 "Everything Starts Somewhere."]

Campbell reflects on the honor of portraying Ducky, sharing insights from McCallum about the character.

The episode reunites Ducky with Gibbs, deepening their connection, and features meaningful moments for the ME with the rest of the NCIS team.
