US network CBS confirmed that the current run will be Weatherly's last as Naval Criminal Investigative Service agent Tony DiNozzo and paid tribute to the star: “the immense charm and talent he brings to the screen as 'Very' Special Agent Tony DiNozzo has helped make NCIS what it is today – the No. 1 drama in the world”.

The actor, who has been in the long-running show from its very beginning in 2003, was also quick to show his admiration to his crew, co-stars and character tweeting:
