Michael Weatherly is so much nutty
Michael Weatherly has an interview in TV Guide this week about the end of this NCIS season and stuff, not with any spoilers, and I'm in love because dude, he's Michael Weatherly.
Extensive re-quoting from the interview OF JOI:
The interview
NCIS fans are beside themselves trying to imagine various scenarios that could unfold at the end of this season, with the Tony-Ziva-Rivkin triangle.
How’s it gonna play out? I mean, Ziva being pregnant is prob—… [He makes a tape-rewinding noise.] Did I take it back? Does that mean it didn’t happen? I didn’t say anything. You know what that’s called? It’s called misinformation! The Soviets used to do it a lot.
The tone of the show is so screwy that it’s easy to believe show-runner Shane Brennan when he says we’ll be surprised by what happens.
Tonally, this show is very difficult to explain. For our 100th episode, we were helicoptered in and dropped on a Navy science ghost-ship experiment. It was like a Scooby-Doo episode, where they go into an old abandoned mine. So the show is basically a dysfunctional family crime drama, with some Scooby-Doo elements.
So which Scooby character are you?
Shaggy, unfortunately. Or Scooby. Fred is clearly gay, with the ascot. And then Daphne is Ziva. And then Velma is… maybe The Addams Family works better. Clearly Cote is Morticia. No, maybe The Munsters is really the one I should go with. Or Gilligan’s Island. Ducky’s Mr. Howell. Ginger and Marianne are Ziva and Abby… See, we’re proving right now that we have not copied anyone. Except for JAG, Law & Order and CSI.
...
How would you describe your look on the show?
We went out and bought about 20 suits for me, and the whole point of them is they’re just a little too small. So Tony always looks like the guy who’s kind of outgrowing his clothes but he can’t afford to go buy new ones. They’re a little flashy, they’re a little too much, they’re trying too hard. It’s him, in a clothing nutshell. It’s the funniest thing in the world. Simon Baker would never wear this. Although I did do one episode where I tried to imitate him. I’m a little Mentalist crazy. And I did this whole episode where I was walking around doing my Simon Baker impression. The editors were saying, “What were you doing? We didn’t understand it.” I’m like “That’s my Mentalist impression!” CBS was like, huh? They cut around it... See, I think I’m on Flight of the Conchords, and everyone else thinks they’re on a proper legal—sorry, crime drama. Medical? What show is this?

God, they are such pretty people.
