### Michael Weatherly’s Mom’s Hilarious Supportive Ritual During NCIS Days!
Michael Weatherly’s mother had a unique way of showing support for her son’s acting career, particularly during his time on “NCIS.” After each episode aired, she would call him with hilarious comments and questions about the show’s plot.
Weatherly, known for his roles in various TV series including “The Cosby Show” and “Loving,” gained widespread recognition for his portrayal of Anthony DiNozzo on “JAG” and its spinoff, “NCIS.” His character’s romantic storyline with Ziva (Cote de Pablo) and frequent interactions with Gibbs (Mark Harmon) endeared him to fans.
During an appearance on the Australian variety show “Rove,” Weatherly shared how his mother found “NCIS” puzzling and would call him immediately after each episode. He humorously recreated a typical conversation, with his mother applauding his performance but struggling to grasp the plot, often asking, “Who was the bad man?”
Weatherly would patiently explain the episode to her, but she would still end up confused, sometimes even insisting that the wrong character was the villain. Despite the comedic confusion, her unwavering support for her son’s career remained evident throughout his time on the show.
