5 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoWhy all the childs' play on NCIS?
Weatherly and Perrette are both in their 40s...yet they act as though they just got out of high school. McCallum, on the other hand, acts as though he's close to 100! (He's 76.) Mark Harmon is so minimalist, he barely acts. Palo de Cote is as stiff as a board. Sean Murray inherited the geek role that Patrick Labyorteaux played on Belisario's "JAG" (that of Bud Roberts), and he can take it only so far. The only one that betrays acting skill is Rocky Carroll, and the script doesn't give him much scope. Pray that the spinoff lets the new cast do some acting. (Would be a shame to waste the gifted Linda Hunt on wisecracks.)

At the Olympics itself, if he is still in business, he will waltz in as though Rio was a suburb of Caracas. All this will not sit well with Brazil.
