00:00:01,860 --> 00:00:04,220
?
2
00:00:04,420 --> 00:00:05,400
I hope we're rolling
3
00:00:05,590 --> 00:00:07,400
Yeah what was the question?
4
00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:10,360
Let's not overthink it
5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,640
Tonight
6
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,290
the cast of
NCIS: Los Angeles say goodbye
7
00:00:15,490 --> 00:00:16,980
You guys just watched
the finale
8
00:00:17,180 --> 00:00:18,290
Lots of feels
9
00:00:18,490 --> 00:00:20,980
My God Pinch me
10
00:00:21,180 --> 00:00:22,360
I wasn't expecting that ending
11
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,950
It's not the end
of these characters
12
00:00:25,150 --> 00:00:27,340
sharing 14 seasons of behind the scenes secrets
13
00:00:29,270 --> 00:00:30,680
Lot of pyro lot of explosions
14
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,400
These are directly
stolen from set
15
00:00:34,590 --> 00:00:35,570
Mark
from the first day
16
00:00:35,770 --> 00:00:36,980
It's nice to meet you
It's funny
17
00:00:37,180 --> 00:00:37,980
I forget he's LL Cool J
18
00:00:38,180 --> 00:00:39,670
to the final shot
19
00:00:39,870 --> 00:00:41,910
This was beyond
20
00:00:42,110 --> 00:00:43,050
anything I could have imagined.
21
00:00:43,250 --> 00:00:44,570
You get overcome with emotions.
22
00:00:44,770 --> 00:00:46,740
I love you, I appreciate you.
Thank you.
23
00:00:46,940 --> 00:00:48,670
Favorite memories...
24
00:00:48,870 --> 00:00:50,290
I was like,
"How did we get that?"
25
00:00:50,490 --> 00:00:52,290
That's not normal life.
26
00:00:52,490 --> 00:00:55,290
...that made themforever family.
27
00:00:55,490 --> 00:00:56,500
They're my brothers.
28
00:00:56,700 --> 00:00:58,400
Daniela is-is that-that fun mom.
29
00:00:58,590 --> 00:01:00,260
LL Cool J always has
30
00:01:00,460 --> 00:01:02,050
- the music playing.- McRANEY: "Todd,
31
00:01:02,250 --> 00:01:03,530
we're-we're ready."
32
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:05,400
"okay," you know?
33
00:01:05,590 --> 00:01:07,570
- Come on. It's NCIS: L.A.
- It's NCIS: Los Angeles.
34
00:01:07,770 --> 00:01:09,360
This isCBS Presents
35
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,290
A Salute to NCIS: Los Angeles:
36
00:01:11,490 --> 00:01:14,770
An Entertainment Tonight
Special.
37
00:01:14,970 --> 00:01:18,020
Hello and welcome, everybody,
to a bittersweet tribute.
38
00:01:18,220 --> 00:01:20,220
We just witnessed
the end of an era,
39
00:01:20,420 --> 00:01:22,950
the end of NCIS: Los Angeles.
40
00:01:23,150 --> 00:01:26,050
I'm here at the historic studios
at Paramount,
41
00:01:26,250 --> 00:01:28,260
where all the sets once stood.
42
00:01:28,460 --> 00:01:30,570
The boatshed, the team's desks,
43
00:01:30,770 --> 00:01:33,710
the Ops center, even the gym.
44
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:36,170
It was all right here
just two months ago.
45
00:01:39,650 --> 00:01:41,740
- It was amazing. It was amazing.
- Yeah.
46
00:01:41,940 --> 00:01:44,080
We-- You know, w-we called
these stages home for 14 years.
47
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,770
I'll probablybe calling him, saying,
48
00:01:45,970 --> 00:01:46,910
"Hey, man, did that
really happen?"
49
00:01:47,110 --> 00:01:48,120
Probably.
50
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,190
What-what are you,
what are you doing?
51
00:01:49,390 --> 00:01:50,400
- You want to hang out?
- Yeah.
52
00:01:50,590 --> 00:01:52,290
It's a weird sensation
53
00:01:52,490 --> 00:01:55,260
because it doesn't hit youin, like, one big slap.
54
00:01:55,460 --> 00:01:57,810
I think it'll hit me
55
00:01:58,010 --> 00:02:01,080
when we don't come back in July
to shoot another season.
56
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,460
As I was driving home
was the first, like, round
57
00:02:03,660 --> 00:02:05,290
that it really hit me,
58
00:02:05,490 --> 00:02:07,770
which is like, "I'm not gonna
be driving to work
59
00:02:07,970 --> 00:02:10,360
on NCIS: Los Angelesanymore."
60
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,530
And that's just
a full cornucopia of emotions.
61
00:02:13,730 --> 00:02:15,880
We made a show that made
so many people happy
62
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,290
and that, built up such
a following around the world.
63
00:02:19,490 --> 00:02:20,410
It was pretty amazing.
64
00:02:22,580 --> 00:02:24,290
Yep, after 14 years
65
00:02:24,490 --> 00:02:26,770
and 323 episodes,
66
00:02:26,970 --> 00:02:28,770
we're saying goodbyeto these special agents.
67
00:02:28,970 --> 00:02:31,190
But first,
let's talk about that finale.
68
00:02:31,390 --> 00:02:33,500
We got a long-awaited wedding,
69
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:35,600
a baby on the way,surprise guests,
70
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,710
and we finally got to hearHetty's voice again.
71
00:02:38,910 --> 00:02:40,670
I think we all have
a lot of feelings about
72
00:02:40,870 --> 00:02:43,290
how it went down,
and so does the cast.
73
00:02:43,490 --> 00:02:46,120
I think that, they did
a nice job wrapping it up.
74
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,770
And I think the fansthat, you know,
75
00:02:48,970 --> 00:02:51,290
had an opportunity to be with us
from day one
76
00:02:51,490 --> 00:02:52,260
should feel really, really good
77
00:02:52,460 --> 00:02:53,460
about these characters.
78
00:02:53,660 --> 00:02:54,720
I think that it's...
79
00:02:56,820 --> 00:02:59,020
...really emotionally fulfilling
for the characters
80
00:02:59,220 --> 00:03:00,530
and also, I think, for--
hopefully,
81
00:03:00,730 --> 00:03:03,150
for everybody that just,that just watched.
82
00:03:03,350 --> 00:03:06,020
With this ring, I thee wed.
83
00:03:06,220 --> 00:03:08,710
The hard thing is that we took
84
00:03:08,910 --> 00:03:10,950
so many pictures that day,
85
00:03:11,150 --> 00:03:13,530
but we couldn't post thembecause we couldn't let it on
86
00:03:13,730 --> 00:03:16,080
to the audience that we wereshooting a wedding scene.
87
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,360
I pronounce you man and wife.
88
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,570
You may share
your first married kiss.
89
00:03:22,460 --> 00:03:23,910
I wasn't expecting that ending,
90
00:03:24,110 --> 00:03:25,330
and I actually thought it was
great-- I go, "God, they--
91
00:03:25,530 --> 00:03:26,530
"this thing could end
on us, you know,
92
00:03:26,730 --> 00:03:28,530
"me getting married
and, you know,
93
00:03:28,730 --> 00:03:30,570
"saying goodbye, and that's kind
of it," and then I was like,
94
00:03:30,770 --> 00:03:31,880
"Wait a second,
they're going to Morocco."
95
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,330
Thought it was very clever,
96
00:03:33,530 --> 00:03:35,840
and leaves the fans thinking,
97
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,020
"So they're still doing stuff?
98
00:03:37,220 --> 00:03:39,020
What-- Do we get to see?"
You know?
99
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,190
- There's nothing here.
- Well, maybe that's the point.
100
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:44,770
The future is bright.
It leaves the future open.
101
00:03:44,970 --> 00:03:46,710
- I like that.
- They're off to new adventures.
102
00:03:46,910 --> 00:03:48,430
You never know, there might be a-a whole movie
103
00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:50,770
for NCIS: Los Angelesone day.
104
00:03:50,970 --> 00:03:52,600
There could be many things
that could happen.
105
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,530
You never knowwhat could happen, so...
106
00:03:54,730 --> 00:03:56,840
you know, there was no reasonfor us to just, like,
107
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,710
drive off a cliff,
like Thelma & Louise,
108
00:03:58,910 --> 00:04:00,240
you know what I mean,
like, we...
109
00:04:01,550 --> 00:04:03,050
Another mission wasthe perfect way
110
00:04:03,250 --> 00:04:05,770
to bring Linda Hunt backas Hetty Lange.
111
00:04:05,970 --> 00:04:07,840
Fans got to hear her voiceone last time
112
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,290
in a letterto her surrogate son.
113
00:04:10,490 --> 00:04:13,330
I have been blessedwith the greatest family
114
00:04:13,530 --> 00:04:16,500
one could ever have wished for,
115
00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:18,430
and so have you.
116
00:04:18,630 --> 00:04:20,290
Health concerns have kepteveryone's favorite
117
00:04:20,490 --> 00:04:22,980
operations manager off setfor the last two seasons,
118
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:26,120
but she's never farfrom this cast's heart.
119
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,370
The one wish I have for you,
Mr. Callen...
120
00:04:29,620 --> 00:04:31,810
...is that by the time
you leave here,
121
00:04:32,010 --> 00:04:35,260
you've learned the art
of trusting others.
122
00:04:35,460 --> 00:04:37,080
I-- We needed that closure.
123
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:39,260
Like, a-as a human being,I needed that closure.
124
00:04:39,460 --> 00:04:41,080
I'm so glad that she did it.
125
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:42,400
And I miss her desperately.
126
00:04:42,590 --> 00:04:45,740
The body versus the mind.
127
00:04:45,940 --> 00:04:48,330
There's a fight indeed.
128
00:04:48,530 --> 00:04:50,950
She's incredibly funny.Incredibly funny.
129
00:04:51,150 --> 00:04:53,670
But to be able to represent herwhen we talk about her,
130
00:04:53,870 --> 00:04:55,640
to be able to give her that final closure in the end,
131
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:00,150
um, but also leaving
that "dot, dot, dot"
132
00:05:00,350 --> 00:05:02,150
at the end of the show
through her,
133
00:05:02,350 --> 00:05:04,570
which is so, appropriate.
134
00:05:04,770 --> 00:05:06,880
- She was- such a part of the show.- Huge.
135
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,570
And will always be such
a big part of the show, and...
136
00:05:08,770 --> 00:05:10,930
and she's one of a kind.
137
00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:13,640
Tonight's finale also
138
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:14,500
brought back some old friends,
139
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:16,880
like Erik Palladino,
140
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,220
Peter Camborand Ren�e Felice Smith.
141
00:05:19,420 --> 00:05:20,840
What do you say, gentlemen?
142
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,220
You ready
for your next adventure?
143
00:05:22,420 --> 00:05:23,840
I mean, how are they gonna
wrap it up without Nell?
144
00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:27,530
It felt like I-I had lost
145
00:05:27,730 --> 00:05:30,220
no time in between.
146
00:05:30,420 --> 00:05:32,120
Um, we picked up
right where we left off.
147
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,220
And I think they were,
148
00:05:34,420 --> 00:05:37,020
you know, excitedto have Nell back as well.
149
00:05:37,220 --> 00:05:38,460
Don't tell me
Beale's here with you.
150
00:05:38,660 --> 00:05:42,050
No. Sadly, he is giving
a TED Talk in Singapore.
151
00:05:42,250 --> 00:05:44,050
- Of course he is.
- Beale didn't factor
152
00:05:44,250 --> 00:05:46,120
into the final storyline,but for Barrett Foa,
153
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,190
just like the rest of us,saying goodbye is tough.
154
00:05:49,390 --> 00:05:51,050
I'm really sadthat the show is over.
155
00:05:51,250 --> 00:05:52,880
I mean, it's 12 years
of my life, you know?
156
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,910
14 years of-of,
of our fans' lives.
157
00:05:56,110 --> 00:05:57,290
And if this facein the final scene
158
00:05:57,490 --> 00:05:59,400
looks familiar,well, here's why.
159
00:05:59,590 --> 00:06:01,400
That's Chris's son Chip,
playing Will,
160
00:06:01,590 --> 00:06:02,710
which is amazing.
161
00:06:02,910 --> 00:06:04,880
I'm the new guy.
162
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,570
My son was in the last scene,as part of the,
163
00:06:07,770 --> 00:06:09,880
the new team,
which was kind of fun.
164
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,260
We got a kick out of him.
165
00:06:11,460 --> 00:06:13,120
Over the course of the show,
166
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,570
all of my kids had beenon the show, and my wife.
167
00:06:15,770 --> 00:06:18,530
My oldest son had not been onfor various reasons,
168
00:06:18,730 --> 00:06:20,080
and then-- partly during COVID--
169
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:21,640
and so at the end,I said, "my God,
170
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:23,290
we should have, we should have done something."
171
00:06:23,490 --> 00:06:24,950
So, it was kind of fun.
172
00:06:25,150 --> 00:06:25,740
It was really sweet to have
173
00:06:25,940 --> 00:06:26,810
that moment, I think.
174
00:06:27,010 --> 00:06:28,570
And I, and I saw Chris
175
00:06:28,770 --> 00:06:30,460
really absorbing
sort of the gravity
176
00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:31,820
of that moment, too.
177
00:06:36,060 --> 00:06:37,530
I was like, do you think the audience is not gonna notie
178
00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:39,080
that he is
a straight photocopy of Chris?
179
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:40,290
Do you think people are not
180
00:06:40,490 --> 00:06:42,810
gonna see that that's his son?
181
00:06:43,010 --> 00:06:44,220
And I was just like,
"My goodness, Chris,
182
00:06:44,420 --> 00:06:47,080
you make good-looking children."
183
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:49,640
Yeah. This cast hasalways been about family.
184
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:51,600
It even resonatesin the storylines.
185
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,260
We're having a baby.
186
00:06:53,460 --> 00:06:55,000
We're having a baby?
187
00:06:56,860 --> 00:06:59,360
I think Kensi and Deeks
188
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:00,670
deserved this ending.
189
00:07:00,870 --> 00:07:02,120
I had hoped for this,
to be honest.
190
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,600
I had, like, been putting it
out in the universe
191
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,190
and making little jokes
here and there with our writers
192
00:07:05,390 --> 00:07:06,950
and being like,
"Wouldn't it be great if Kensi
193
00:07:07,150 --> 00:07:08,820
got pregnant
in the last episode?"
194
00:07:10,310 --> 00:07:11,640
I think it's the only endingto that story.
195
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,530
I think it's the best endingto that story.
196
00:07:13,730 --> 00:07:14,880
The end of Deeks's arc,
197
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,880
finding love and-and a wife
198
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,290
and-and potentiallytwo kids, like,
199
00:07:20,490 --> 00:07:22,530
you can't ask for a better
ending for that character.
200
00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:23,950
The two-part series finale
201
00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:26,460
was actually shot11 weeks ago.
202
00:07:26,660 --> 00:07:28,260
Production schedulesvaried for everyone,
203
00:07:28,460 --> 00:07:30,950
which means the cast didn't haetheir final scenes together.
204
00:07:31,150 --> 00:07:32,770
So I was out on a Fridayand our show wrapped
205
00:07:32,970 --> 00:07:33,980
on a Wednesday,so I made a point
206
00:07:34,180 --> 00:07:36,430
of going to workthose last three days.
207
00:07:36,630 --> 00:07:38,500
I went every day to make sure
that I got to hug everybody
208
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:40,430
on their last day.
209
00:07:40,630 --> 00:07:42,430
Anna, you look stunning.
210
00:07:42,630 --> 00:07:44,980
So do you. You're glowing.
211
00:07:45,180 --> 00:07:48,020
The very last moment we shotwas when Anna says,
212
00:07:48,220 --> 00:07:49,880
"Kensi, you look so lovely.You're glowing."
213
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,530
And I say,"No, you look amazing."
214
00:07:51,730 --> 00:07:54,530
It's nice to have sort of, like,
that female mutual empowerment
215
00:07:54,730 --> 00:07:57,840
as my very last line
of the show.
216
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,050
My last scene was with Rosaright after the wedding.
217
00:08:01,250 --> 00:08:02,670
Or I say, "Did you hear that?"and she goes, "I did,
218
00:08:02,870 --> 00:08:04,880
I think they're cute,"
and I was like, "What?"
219
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,020
What?
220
00:08:06,220 --> 00:08:08,020
You want that
to be your grandpa?
221
00:08:08,220 --> 00:08:09,330
That was the last scene I shot
222
00:08:09,530 --> 00:08:11,260
of NCIS: Los Angeles.
223
00:08:11,460 --> 00:08:12,570
I remember shootingthe last scene very well.
224
00:08:12,770 --> 00:08:16,190
It was me, Caleb and, um, Gerald
225
00:08:16,390 --> 00:08:18,020
in Ops.
226
00:08:18,220 --> 00:08:19,600
There were lots of tears
on the last day
227
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,840
from-from everybody.
228
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,190
You know what was interesting,I-I didn't cry.
229
00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:27,400
A lot of our crew,
absolutely did.
230
00:08:27,590 --> 00:08:30,950
Medalion, sure,
but, um, I didn't.
231
00:08:31,150 --> 00:08:33,080
I was just very proudof everyone,
232
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,220
and the jobthat we had accomplished.
233
00:08:36,420 --> 00:08:40,440
Mine was, it was just me
working with a screen.
234
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,400
Sir, Commander Collins
235
00:08:43,590 --> 00:08:46,190
with Navy Munitions Command Pacis online now.
236
00:08:46,390 --> 00:08:47,770
Got it. Put her through.
237
00:08:47,970 --> 00:08:49,880
McRANEY: You know,immediately after that scene
238
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,050
was done,
239
00:08:52,250 --> 00:08:56,770
the, first AD called
a wrap on the episode,
240
00:08:56,970 --> 00:08:58,570
a wrap on the season,
241
00:08:58,770 --> 00:09:01,430
a wrap on NCIS: Los Angeles,
242
00:09:01,630 --> 00:09:04,600
and that was that.
243
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,740
We were on set with Chrisand Todd for their last day,
244
00:09:07,940 --> 00:09:10,400
and as you'd expect,it was emotional.
245
00:09:10,590 --> 00:09:14,050
Guys, um, that is
a thank you, good night.
246
00:09:14,250 --> 00:09:16,260
Done in episode, done in season
247
00:09:16,460 --> 00:09:18,460
and done in show to Chris.
248
00:09:21,630 --> 00:09:23,810
You kind of know it's coming,and then all of a sudden,
249
00:09:24,010 --> 00:09:25,980
like, you know, then you know
they're gonna say,
250
00:09:26,180 --> 00:09:29,050
"this is the last scene
for, you know, Chris
251
00:09:29,250 --> 00:09:31,080
on the set," and it--
You're just like...
252
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,500
"Wow," it's just, you get
overcome with emotions.
253
00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:34,910
Thank you, everybody.
254
00:09:35,110 --> 00:09:36,270
That's amazing...
255
00:09:37,510 --> 00:09:39,260
...to say the least.
256
00:09:39,460 --> 00:09:41,570
And it was because of
all you guys.
257
00:09:41,770 --> 00:09:43,740
It's so hard to get
these things to work.
258
00:09:43,940 --> 00:09:47,460
And this was beyond anything
I could have imagined.
259
00:09:47,660 --> 00:09:50,910
So thank you, everybody.
You've worked really hard.
260
00:09:51,110 --> 00:09:53,670
And, I hope everybody
finds another run like this
261
00:09:53,870 --> 00:09:55,910
'cause they don't come up
very often.
262
00:09:56,110 --> 00:09:58,430
And take care, everybody.
263
00:10:02,060 --> 00:10:03,770
We did something great.I mean, you know,
264
00:10:03,970 --> 00:10:06,810
we're the 14th longest-running
show in history
265
00:10:07,010 --> 00:10:08,120
and we're, you know,
266
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,740
number five, I think, on--
for CBS.
267
00:10:09,940 --> 00:10:12,400
I mean, this was
a-a huge accomplishment...
268
00:10:12,590 --> 00:10:14,770
...and I want the crew
to be proud of that.
269
00:10:14,970 --> 00:10:17,330
Never feel like you don't
have access to me in that,
270
00:10:17,530 --> 00:10:19,740
now, if you see me on TV,
I'm no longer your friend,
271
00:10:19,940 --> 00:10:21,810
or now if you see me on TV,
272
00:10:22,010 --> 00:10:23,740
you can no longer
reach out to me.
273
00:10:23,940 --> 00:10:25,120
You can.
You know what I'm saying?
274
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,770
We have a relationship.
That doesn't change.
275
00:10:27,970 --> 00:10:29,980
So I love you, I appreciate you.
276
00:10:30,180 --> 00:10:31,400
Thank you.
277
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:34,150
I realize nowthat a lot of these things,
278
00:10:34,350 --> 00:10:35,400
how important they are.
279
00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:36,980
And there's more to this
than just
280
00:10:37,180 --> 00:10:39,050
money and jobs
and mortgages and people.
281
00:10:39,250 --> 00:10:41,430
Yes, that's all important,
I know people want to take care
282
00:10:41,630 --> 00:10:43,500
of their families, but you also
have to take a moment
283
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:46,570
and just remember that
you really did something major.
284
00:10:46,770 --> 00:10:47,980
- -And-and that means something.- Yeah,- and it was nice
285
00:10:48,180 --> 00:10:50,120
that you singled out how everyone contributed, you know?
286
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,600
- Yeah.- 'Cause there's a lot- of people that,
287
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,220
if you're in frontof the camera,
288
00:10:53,420 --> 00:10:54,950
if you're in the vicinityof the camera, you...
289
00:10:55,150 --> 00:10:56,330
you know, everyone knowswho you are and sees you,
290
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:58,050
but there'sso many people that...
291
00:10:58,250 --> 00:10:59,910
work just as hard
that nobody really knows,
292
00:11:00,110 --> 00:11:02,150
and they're kind of in the
background doing stuff, so...
293
00:11:02,350 --> 00:11:04,000
It's a r-- It-it is absolutely
a team effort.
294
00:11:05,820 --> 00:11:08,740
LL Cool J alwayshas the music playing,
295
00:11:08,940 --> 00:11:10,670
and he doesn't just listen
to hip-hop and rap.
296
00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:12,910
Secrets fromtheNCIS: L.A. set.
297
00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:14,880
Dani's a professional dancer.
298
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,150
Plus, what happens whenyou bring your mom to work.
299
00:11:17,350 --> 00:11:18,640
I was nervous,
I thought she was gonna be...
300
00:11:24,890 --> 00:11:26,410
?
301
00:11:29,860 --> 00:11:31,400
We are rolling now.
302
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:34,150
Well, there's no hope for me.
303
00:11:34,350 --> 00:11:35,790
What's up?
304
00:11:37,890 --> 00:11:39,330
- Kind of looks like him, right?
- Thanks.
305
00:11:39,530 --> 00:11:40,740
Thanks a lot. Thank you.
306
00:11:40,940 --> 00:11:42,600
Look at this.
307
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,740
Get in the middle,
get in the middle.
308
00:11:44,940 --> 00:11:47,880
You know who's the fastest
lip balm putter-oner?
309
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,370
LL Cool J.
310
00:11:50,510 --> 00:11:52,270
We doing it. Enjoy.
311
00:11:54,620 --> 00:11:56,360
Hello.
312
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:58,720
Welcome to NCIS: Los Angeles.
313
00:12:05,270 --> 00:12:06,430
What's your favorite
part of the set?
314
00:12:06,630 --> 00:12:07,460
I think the Ops center
315
00:12:07,660 --> 00:12:08,460
is really, really cool.
316
00:12:08,660 --> 00:12:09,440
We have a bunch of technology.
317
00:12:11,370 --> 00:12:12,740
This is kind of our little
318
00:12:12,940 --> 00:12:14,050
bullpen area
where we all hang out.
319
00:12:14,250 --> 00:12:15,330
This is the gadget room.
320
00:12:15,530 --> 00:12:16,960
I don't know what the hell
they do in there.
321
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,670
It's nice to meet you.
I'm LL Cool J.
322
00:12:21,870 --> 00:12:23,570
Nice to meet you.
323
00:12:23,770 --> 00:12:24,950
I-I forget he's LL Cool J,
324
00:12:25,150 --> 00:12:26,150
but then when we get
out in public
325
00:12:26,350 --> 00:12:27,980
and people are, you know,
yelling for him
326
00:12:28,180 --> 00:12:29,220
and the whole thing,
it-it reminds you.
327
00:12:33,930 --> 00:12:35,150
People always used to wonder,
328
00:12:35,350 --> 00:12:38,080
what are rappers gonna do
when they grow up?
329
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,430
Los Angeles.
330
00:12:43,060 --> 00:12:44,640
When the show started in 2009,
331
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,840
LL Cool J was a Grammy-winningrapper and superstar.
332
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,260
But to theNCIS: L.A.
cast and crew,
333
00:12:50,460 --> 00:12:53,080
he just wanted to be Todd Smit.
334
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,570
I just didn't want to bring
that part of my life to the set.
335
00:12:55,770 --> 00:12:57,150
That's a big name,it's a big persona,
336
00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:58,740
and there's a lotthat comes with that.
337
00:12:58,940 --> 00:13:00,910
- And I think
it was the right decision.
- And you did that.
338
00:13:01,110 --> 00:13:02,500
I was watching the-the Grammys,
339
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:03,740
did this, you know,
massive performance
340
00:13:03,940 --> 00:13:05,050
with the whole thing--
I was like,
341
00:13:05,250 --> 00:13:06,910
"I can't believethat's the same guy...
342
00:13:09,150 --> 00:13:10,460
"...that I sit and screw around
with all day long,
343
00:13:10,660 --> 00:13:12,020
that that's him up there."
344
00:13:12,220 --> 00:13:14,670
That's the bigger act,let me tell you.
345
00:13:14,870 --> 00:13:16,670
I think Sam Hanna's
a lot closer to who you are
346
00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:19,330
- than-than that.
- Okay.
347
00:13:19,530 --> 00:13:20,840
And in his own words,
348
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,220
he's an introvert by nature.
349
00:13:23,420 --> 00:13:25,500
He's a little nerdy guy that reads stuff all the time.
350
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:27,020
He'll make comments on stuff,
and I'm like,
351
00:13:27,220 --> 00:13:28,710
"Where are you coming up
with this?"
352
00:13:28,910 --> 00:13:30,840
And then I'll kind of
look it up, I go,
353
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,400
"He's actually right."
354
00:13:32,590 --> 00:13:35,150
And I go, "I don't...
I wasn't expecting that."
355
00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:37,360
McRANEY:He's got a vast amountof knowledge.
356
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:38,840
He's highly intelligent.
357
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,740
I enjoyed the conversations
358
00:13:40,940 --> 00:13:43,640
that I would have with him
between shots.
359
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,220
But he does bring
the good energy.
360
00:13:46,420 --> 00:13:48,360
It's just like, "Let's playmusic, let's have fun.
361
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:50,570
He brought moreof the music than I did.
362
00:13:50,770 --> 00:13:52,330
- You knew when Todd
was coming onto set.
- Thankfully.
363
00:13:52,530 --> 00:13:54,330
- Thankfully.
- You know what I mean?
364
00:13:54,530 --> 00:13:56,050
? Brothers and sisters...?
365
00:13:56,250 --> 00:13:58,500
Yeah.When Todd walks in,
366
00:13:58,700 --> 00:13:59,910
he'll be playing
some sort of music.
367
00:14:00,110 --> 00:14:01,190
We're like, "What genre
368
00:14:01,390 --> 00:14:02,370
are we playing today?"
369
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:06,220
And there were a few times
when they would have
370
00:14:06,420 --> 00:14:07,290
to get his attention.
371
00:14:07,490 --> 00:14:10,430
"Todd, we're-we're ready."
372
00:14:10,630 --> 00:14:11,880
"okay."
373
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,570
And he'd turn the music off,
go to work.
374
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,290
Let's roll.
375
00:14:16,490 --> 00:14:17,770
Let's roll sound,
everybody, here we go.
376
00:14:17,970 --> 00:14:20,880
It's funny, 'cause Chris
O'Donnell likes a quiet set
377
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,810
and Todd likes the music.
378
00:14:23,010 --> 00:14:24,570
And so whenthey're working together,
379
00:14:24,770 --> 00:14:26,400
they're always kind of bickerig
380
00:14:26,590 --> 00:14:28,050
and joking
with each other, and...
381
00:14:28,250 --> 00:14:30,530
It's just,
their dynamic is so good.
382
00:14:30,730 --> 00:14:33,360
Keep it up.
I'm-a bounce you off a rock.
383
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,950
From day one, the thing that's
been the most enjoyable for me
384
00:14:36,150 --> 00:14:37,530
are my scenes with-with Todd,
385
00:14:37,730 --> 00:14:40,080
and just the-the banterback and forth
386
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,640
and needling each other
on the show, and...
387
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,290
and we do that off camera
as well.
388
00:14:44,490 --> 00:14:45,600
Well, he's got a fan on him
right now.
389
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,080
Seriously. Do you want to--
390
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,080
Take your picture with her,
would you?
391
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,710
Come on. She's dying.
392
00:14:49,910 --> 00:14:51,290
- We already did.
- Okay.
393
00:14:51,490 --> 00:14:53,950
You guys are like
the odd couple. I love it.
394
00:14:54,150 --> 00:14:55,710
I remember my first scene
with them together.
395
00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:58,810
We're in the boatshed,and I think I improv,
396
00:14:59,010 --> 00:15:00,500
"You two are adorable"?
397
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:01,840
That is adorable.
398
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,710
And the look on,
the look on their face.
399
00:15:04,910 --> 00:15:06,640
And I remember just them
being like, "What the..."
400
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,120
Cuckoo. You're crazy.
401
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,950
He gives me
a thousand paper cuts.
402
00:15:11,150 --> 00:15:12,460
I give him
one big stab wound...
403
00:15:12,660 --> 00:15:14,880
...you know, like a--
like, three months later.
404
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,290
Then we go three months
with the paper cuts,
405
00:15:16,490 --> 00:15:18,260
and then I give him
a stab wound.
406
00:15:18,460 --> 00:15:19,810
- It's-it's perfect.
- That's so true.
407
00:15:20,010 --> 00:15:21,640
It's perfect.
408
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:22,770
I don't even know why I try.
409
00:15:22,970 --> 00:15:25,330
I don't, either, but it's fun.
410
00:15:25,530 --> 00:15:26,530
Yep. And when Chris,
411
00:15:26,730 --> 00:15:28,640
who the cast calls C.O.D.,
412
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,950
directed his first ofthree episodes back in 2013,
413
00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:33,530
Todd thought it was about time.
414
00:15:33,730 --> 00:15:35,500
Set and action.
415
00:15:35,700 --> 00:15:38,120
And he's always in my ear
with a-- It's something, anyway,
416
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,640
so it didn't really make
a difference.
417
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,500
Gonna have to have pep talks
with my actors today here.
418
00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:45,880
I mean, I was like,
419
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,260
it was--
He's running around here
420
00:15:47,460 --> 00:15:49,290
like a soda bottle
that got shook up.
421
00:15:49,490 --> 00:15:51,640
He needed to, he needed
to direct, so it was great.
422
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:52,980
I think it's--
I'm happy for him.
423
00:15:53,180 --> 00:15:54,330
- And cut.
- Cutting.
424
00:15:54,530 --> 00:15:55,950
Thing of beauty.
425
00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:57,360
I am gonna be directing again
this season,
426
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:58,950
so I'm looking forward to that.
427
00:15:59,150 --> 00:16:00,150
That's always kind of fun,to get behind the camera
428
00:16:00,350 --> 00:16:03,430
and get to tell LL
what he has to do.
429
00:16:03,630 --> 00:16:05,260
You get up quickly because
I'm like, "Sam," and then
430
00:16:05,460 --> 00:16:06,710
you get up, you're like,
"I'm good, I'm going after him."
431
00:16:06,910 --> 00:16:08,190
Chris wasn'tthe only cast member
432
00:16:08,390 --> 00:16:09,840
to sit in the director's chair.
433
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,430
Daniela directed six episodes,
434
00:16:11,630 --> 00:16:14,500
including a very special onein 2022,
435
00:16:14,700 --> 00:16:16,220
which was written by Eric.
436
00:16:16,420 --> 00:16:17,770
I fell in love with it.
437
00:16:17,970 --> 00:16:18,910
And it's something
that was not a--
438
00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:20,600
it's not to replace acting,
439
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,430
but it's a lateral step
that I fully intend
440
00:16:23,630 --> 00:16:25,360
on continuing to pursue.
441
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,980
Daniela communicatesin a way, as a director,
442
00:16:28,180 --> 00:16:31,360
that is so conducive,
443
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,950
to just pulling the performance
you want as an actor.
444
00:16:35,150 --> 00:16:39,670
She has evolved into
the kind of mother on the set.
445
00:16:39,870 --> 00:16:42,360
Daniela is-isthat-that fun mom on set.
446
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,360
You know? She lets us
joke around, but it's--
447
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,360
when it's time to work and it's
time to get down to business,
448
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,980
she's able to-to, you know,bring it in.
449
00:16:50,180 --> 00:16:52,330
And speaking of moms, in 2012,
450
00:16:52,530 --> 00:16:54,330
the cast's real-life mamasmade cameos
451
00:16:54,530 --> 00:16:55,950
alongside their famous kids.
452
00:16:56,150 --> 00:17:00,460
Now, that's what I call
two well-mannered young men.
453
00:17:00,660 --> 00:17:02,050
She did excellent.She did better
454
00:17:02,250 --> 00:17:03,330
than I thought she would do.
I was nervous.
455
00:17:03,530 --> 00:17:05,500
I thought she was gonna be...
456
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:07,570
She was rehearsing at home,though, yesterday.
457
00:17:07,770 --> 00:17:09,330
Well, yeah,
'cause I have one line.
458
00:17:09,530 --> 00:17:11,080
It was like Peter Brady running
around the house saying,
459
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,500
"Hark. Who goes there?"
460
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:14,810
Hark. Who goes there?
461
00:17:15,010 --> 00:17:17,330
She was doing it all
the different ways possible.
462
00:17:17,530 --> 00:17:20,430
Someone certainly
taught them well.
463
00:17:20,630 --> 00:17:21,910
It was really fun to see
the moms, especially when they,
464
00:17:22,110 --> 00:17:23,260
you know, they call cut,
and then all the moms
465
00:17:23,460 --> 00:17:24,460
kind of turn to each other
and kind of go...
466
00:17:24,660 --> 00:17:25,980
"my God, my God."
467
00:17:26,180 --> 00:17:28,220
It was a once-in-a-lifetime experienc,
468
00:17:28,420 --> 00:17:30,500
and I wouldn't give it up
for anything.
469
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:32,260
?
470
00:17:35,930 --> 00:17:37,950
Just catching bad guys
in my frills.
471
00:17:38,150 --> 00:17:40,500
I'm not exactly surehow we end up undercover
472
00:17:40,700 --> 00:17:42,120
at this dance club.
473
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,460
All I know is that,
Dani's doing
474
00:17:44,660 --> 00:17:46,950
a lot of fantastic dancing,and I am,
475
00:17:47,150 --> 00:17:49,050
I am running the men's room
attendant.
476
00:17:49,250 --> 00:17:52,840
I forgot how happydance makes me.
477
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,120
There's, like, this "zing"
that comes up in your body.
478
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,570
She won't talk about this,but she was on
479
00:17:57,770 --> 00:17:59,330
Dancing with the Stars
in Portugal,
480
00:17:59,530 --> 00:18:01,020
and I think she won.
481
00:18:01,220 --> 00:18:02,530
Yeah, she did.
482
00:18:02,730 --> 00:18:04,880
And another thing Danialways gets asked about:
483
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,330
- her different-colored eyes.- I have a birthmark
484
00:18:07,530 --> 00:18:10,400
in my black eye,
which makes it black.
485
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:12,050
Otherwise,
they would both be hazel.
486
00:18:12,250 --> 00:18:14,120
I was born with it.
487
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:15,950
It doesn't affect my vision.
488
00:18:16,150 --> 00:18:17,810
And as we look backon some of the show's
489
00:18:18,010 --> 00:18:19,530
most memorable moments,
490
00:18:19,730 --> 00:18:22,330
it wasn't until season seventhat G. Callen
491
00:18:22,530 --> 00:18:23,840
finally found out his name.
492
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,670
I was excited myself.
493
00:18:27,110 --> 00:18:28,330
It took a little while.
494
00:18:28,530 --> 00:18:30,050
We started out,
I didn't even know my name.
495
00:18:30,250 --> 00:18:32,050
My God.
496
00:18:32,250 --> 00:18:33,360
Tell them what it stands for.
497
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,570
- Grisha.
- Yeah.
498
00:18:35,770 --> 00:18:37,330
Grisha?
499
00:18:37,530 --> 00:18:42,050
Grisha Aleksandrovich
Nikolaev Callen.
500
00:18:42,250 --> 00:18:44,120
I love it. I love it.
501
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:45,980
I didn't want to know. I-I...
502
00:18:46,180 --> 00:18:47,980
I just thought it was fun
to let the writers go
503
00:18:48,180 --> 00:18:49,360
and-and take the ride with them.
504
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:50,710
Kensi and Deeks' relationship
505
00:18:50,910 --> 00:18:53,290
was also quite the ride.
506
00:18:53,490 --> 00:18:54,570
After four proposals,
507
00:18:54,770 --> 00:18:57,670
Densi said "I do" in season te.
508
00:18:57,870 --> 00:18:58,620
The wedding is here.
509
00:19:01,130 --> 00:19:02,460
They're getting marriedoverlooking the ocean,
510
00:19:02,660 --> 00:19:04,260
in a beautiful setting here.
511
00:19:04,460 --> 00:19:06,950
Callen and I
are giving Kensi away.
512
00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:11,950
The fans are finally getting
what they've been hoping for
513
00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:13,190
all these years.
514
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:15,810
But it was really fun
515
00:19:16,010 --> 00:19:18,640
to see...
516
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,290
Barrett fail.
517
00:19:20,490 --> 00:19:22,770
But one thing fans didn't get..
518
00:19:22,970 --> 00:19:25,600
Barrett and I were always
pulling for a musical episode.
519
00:19:27,220 --> 00:19:28,880
We did have
520
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,460
our-our candy cane dance moment.
521
00:19:30,660 --> 00:19:32,120
- Wow.
- ? Toys?
522
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,770
? Toys, toys for tots.?
523
00:19:34,970 --> 00:19:36,480
Ren�e and I choreographedthat ourself.
524
00:19:39,340 --> 00:19:40,710
Yo, a lot of pyro,
lot of explosions.
525
00:19:40,910 --> 00:19:42,200
Fire in the hole.
526
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,120
From fires to fistfights,
527
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:47,880
the intense action.
528
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,810
You wake up the next day.
"What happened to me?"
529
00:19:50,010 --> 00:19:52,740
Plus, set life on location.
530
00:19:52,940 --> 00:19:55,400
We shot at every
L.A. sort of monument.
531
00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:57,400
These sea lions would come up
532
00:19:57,590 --> 00:19:59,170
and they'd be like...
533
00:20:04,130 --> 00:20:06,620
?
534
00:20:08,820 --> 00:20:10,960
Three, two, one, action!
535
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,810
I could use some help here!
536
00:20:16,010 --> 00:20:18,930
The coolest thing aboutthe show to me is that...
537
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,440
...when you're doing it,
everything is so real.
538
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,530
Get down!
539
00:20:23,730 --> 00:20:24,570
When you're running from,
540
00:20:24,770 --> 00:20:25,790
you know, these explosions...
541
00:20:28,410 --> 00:20:29,190
...when I'm jumping over cars...
542
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,050
...like, I'm really doing it.
543
00:20:32,250 --> 00:20:33,400
Where else in the world
do you get paid
544
00:20:33,590 --> 00:20:35,510
to run around
firing guns and driving cars?
545
00:20:39,130 --> 00:20:41,400
I've lived ten lives,
you know, doing this,
546
00:20:41,590 --> 00:20:45,020
because every week
is, like, a huge adventure.
547
00:20:45,220 --> 00:20:47,500
So many fights,so many shoot-outs,
548
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:49,330
so many crazy stunts.
549
00:20:49,530 --> 00:20:50,910
Up steps, down steps,
550
00:20:51,110 --> 00:20:52,150
jumping off a balcony,
551
00:20:52,350 --> 00:20:53,670
shooting backwards, looking up.
552
00:20:53,870 --> 00:20:54,980
I still think back
to that, like--
553
00:20:55,180 --> 00:20:56,640
I think this was
season one or two.
554
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,670
I had one thing,
I ran out of this building,
555
00:20:58,870 --> 00:21:01,030
and every ten feet,
another bomb would go off.
556
00:21:03,820 --> 00:21:04,740
The explosionswe had in this show,
557
00:21:04,940 --> 00:21:06,050
it was just unbelievable,
558
00:21:06,250 --> 00:21:07,050
some of the things they did.
559
00:21:07,250 --> 00:21:08,360
But it was incredible,
560
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:09,640
because they would
get it all set,
561
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:10,880
there'd be a big safety meeting.
562
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,290
They'd say,
"Okay, we're going hot."
563
00:21:12,490 --> 00:21:13,600
Nine cameras are speeding.
564
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,460
We're going hot on the effect.
565
00:21:15,660 --> 00:21:17,600
- And then they'd yell, "Action."
- Background. Action!
566
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,750
And these bombs just
start going, and flames.
567
00:21:21,510 --> 00:21:23,710
- It became second nature and...
- It was amazing.
568
00:21:23,910 --> 00:21:25,360
That's how we do it
on NCIS: L.A.
569
00:21:26,970 --> 00:21:27,950
A lot of pyro,
570
00:21:28,150 --> 00:21:30,290
lot of explosions, lot of guns.
571
00:21:30,490 --> 00:21:31,740
It was, it was fun.
572
00:21:31,940 --> 00:21:34,290
From the start,
Los Angeles
573
00:21:34,490 --> 00:21:36,950
came out guns a-blazingand full of action.
574
00:21:37,150 --> 00:21:40,740
In 2012, the show earnedan Emmy nod for its stunts,
575
00:21:40,940 --> 00:21:43,600
and over 14 seasons,fans saw it all.
576
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,770
Action!
577
00:21:45,970 --> 00:21:47,770
I've been sore for ten years.
578
00:21:47,970 --> 00:21:50,860
I'm always sore.
579
00:21:55,580 --> 00:21:57,220
This is what I wentto college for.
580
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,020
The best stunt that I've done
is the,
581
00:22:01,220 --> 00:22:02,770
is the fight scene
with LL Cool J.
582
00:22:02,970 --> 00:22:03,770
That's all me.
583
00:22:05,460 --> 00:22:06,950
I learned that choreographyin literally,
584
00:22:07,150 --> 00:22:08,290
like, 20 minutes.
585
00:22:08,490 --> 00:22:11,840
Todd is the most
professional,
586
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,260
in control, total stud athlete.
587
00:22:14,460 --> 00:22:16,670
This is,
588
00:22:16,870 --> 00:22:17,670
for me, it's like
a dream come true.
589
00:22:17,870 --> 00:22:18,840
I'm like a kid in a candy store.
590
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:21,810
During that MMA episode,
591
00:22:22,010 --> 00:22:25,330
he actually got punched
by LL accidentally.
592
00:22:25,530 --> 00:22:26,600
We're going through the steps
593
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:27,840
and it just
all of a sudden connects,
594
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,790
- and I just go...
- Just "boink."
595
00:22:33,580 --> 00:22:34,950
I'm, like, 185 pounds.
596
00:22:35,150 --> 00:22:37,710
LL Cool J is 230 poundsof muscle.
597
00:22:37,910 --> 00:22:38,980
So it hurts a little bit.
598
00:22:39,180 --> 00:22:40,020
Yeah.
599
00:22:40,220 --> 00:22:41,960
Laid him out like Sunday supper.
600
00:22:44,620 --> 00:22:45,770
I just ran through
601
00:22:45,970 --> 00:22:47,430
about seven alleys and, like,
602
00:22:47,630 --> 00:22:49,330
kung fu-fought a guy
in that alley right there.
603
00:22:49,530 --> 00:22:51,020
He's, like,reading the script, going,
604
00:22:51,220 --> 00:22:52,460
"Why didn't they call in
my brother?"
605
00:22:52,660 --> 00:22:54,840
I can tell you what my brother's
doing right now: he's surfing.
606
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,330
My brother is surfing
while I'm fighting people
607
00:22:56,530 --> 00:22:58,620
in an alley going,
"Where is my double?"
608
00:23:00,130 --> 00:23:02,220
- Really?
- Yes,- you heard it right.
609
00:23:02,420 --> 00:23:04,330
Eric's stunt doubleis his older brother
610
00:23:04,530 --> 00:23:06,260
and former Navy SEAL Dave.
611
00:23:06,460 --> 00:23:09,330
Dave is now married to Danielain real life.
612
00:23:09,530 --> 00:23:10,840
But don't worry,we'll get to that love story
613
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,020
a little later.
614
00:23:12,220 --> 00:23:13,600
My brother is so fun
to have on set.
615
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,400
He's so good at his job.
616
00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:16,950
Like, that first
giant explosion,
617
00:23:17,150 --> 00:23:19,190
he jumped up, and as it did,
618
00:23:19,390 --> 00:23:21,430
the fireball just wrappedaround him.
619
00:23:21,630 --> 00:23:24,500
Like, he's done some unbelievable stunts on the sho.
620
00:23:24,700 --> 00:23:26,600
Stunts that I wish
that I had done.
621
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:27,840
That's such a questionthat Dani would have, like,
622
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,500
five answers to,
'cause she's so into, like,
623
00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:31,150
her knife fights and everything.
624
00:23:31,350 --> 00:23:33,150
God, I-I have so many things
that I want to say right now,
625
00:23:33,350 --> 00:23:34,670
and it's not coming out
fast enough,
626
00:23:34,870 --> 00:23:36,050
because that's how passionate
I am about
627
00:23:36,250 --> 00:23:39,500
the action sequences
in our, on our show.
628
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,670
I would literally ask writers
to write me more,
629
00:23:44,870 --> 00:23:46,430
you know, fight sequences.
630
00:23:46,630 --> 00:23:47,340
This is how somebody gets hurt.
631
00:23:49,620 --> 00:23:51,190
She's throwing real punchesevery time,
632
00:23:51,390 --> 00:23:54,330
and if I don't block them,
she's gonna hit me in the face.
633
00:23:54,530 --> 00:23:56,150
Those are my favorite parts
of the show.
634
00:23:56,350 --> 00:23:58,500
Yeah? How do you like that?
635
00:23:58,700 --> 00:24:00,980
I've had a few, um,
amazing women double for me,
636
00:24:01,180 --> 00:24:02,910
but the person who's beenwith me the longest,
637
00:24:03,110 --> 00:24:04,400
her name is Kim.
638
00:24:04,590 --> 00:24:06,740
So, the hand-to-hand combatwas mostly me,
639
00:24:06,940 --> 00:24:09,600
um, but everything else is Kim.
640
00:24:13,510 --> 00:24:15,330
I love every stunt
that they let me do.
641
00:24:15,530 --> 00:24:17,600
Recently, we had
the crossover episode,
642
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,050
and we were in this crazy,like, airplane graveyard,
643
00:24:21,250 --> 00:24:22,980
and, my character had
644
00:24:23,180 --> 00:24:24,770
to jump off the wing of a plane
645
00:24:24,970 --> 00:24:27,000
onto a perpetrator.
646
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,810
They let me jump,
but obviously, onto a big,
647
00:24:32,010 --> 00:24:33,980
cushioned, you know, surface.
648
00:24:34,180 --> 00:24:35,640
But I felt really cool doing it.
649
00:24:39,060 --> 00:24:40,810
Shooting on location,
I love those days.
650
00:24:41,010 --> 00:24:43,220
Literally, this job is how
I learned how to get around L.A.
651
00:24:43,420 --> 00:24:46,260
L.A. is another character
on this show,
652
00:24:46,460 --> 00:24:48,260
so we got to show her love.
653
00:24:48,460 --> 00:24:49,050
If you're gonna get shot at,
you might as well
654
00:24:49,250 --> 00:24:50,030
do it in the sunshine.
655
00:24:54,170 --> 00:24:55,500
Being all over L.A.,
I mean, we w...
656
00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:56,980
we went to every part of L.A.
657
00:24:57,180 --> 00:24:59,220
I've been in alleyways.
I know restaurants.
658
00:24:59,420 --> 00:25:01,400
- Water treatment plants.
- You know,
water treatment plants.
659
00:25:01,590 --> 00:25:03,980
I know it all.I know all the spots.
660
00:25:04,180 --> 00:25:05,460
- All the good spots.
- But it was great. To shoot
661
00:25:05,660 --> 00:25:07,840
at all the iconic locations
was pretty amazing.
662
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,640
That's got to be near
the L.A. Forum.
663
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:10,980
That is the Forum.
664
00:25:11,180 --> 00:25:12,950
Boom. Didn't even need MapQuest.
665
00:25:13,150 --> 00:25:14,880
I mean, I remember seeing Linda
666
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,670
having this amazing scenein the Hollywood Bowl.
667
00:25:17,870 --> 00:25:18,950
I was like, how did we get tha?
668
00:25:19,150 --> 00:25:19,980
Bob's Marionette Theater?
669
00:25:20,180 --> 00:25:22,050
? Another opening?
670
00:25:22,250 --> 00:25:23,500
? Another show...?
671
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:26,500
We've shot in Long Beach
where it was LL's birthday,
672
00:25:26,700 --> 00:25:28,710
and we were shootingat a fish market,
673
00:25:28,910 --> 00:25:30,360
and these sea lionswould come up
674
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,150
and they'd be like...
675
00:25:32,350 --> 00:25:34,120
And so for, LL's birthday,
676
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,500
he was taking the fish and chucking it to the sea lios
677
00:25:37,700 --> 00:25:39,190
in the middle of Long Beach.
678
00:25:39,390 --> 00:25:42,290
He and I were laughing so hard,
like two eight-year-olds
679
00:25:42,490 --> 00:25:44,740
just so excited to feed fish
to sea lions.
680
00:25:44,940 --> 00:25:45,930
That was a great day.
681
00:25:47,580 --> 00:25:49,880
Got hit by a car today.
That was a lot of fun.
682
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,880
We're throwing it backto when the cast made
683
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,360
their prime time debut.
684
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,570
We were lucky
we jumped in to NCIS'sshow.
685
00:25:55,770 --> 00:25:58,740
I'm definitely hoping that
the spin-off, goes ahead.
686
00:25:58,940 --> 00:26:02,600
Plus, the real story behindDani and Dave's romance.
687
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,460
I looked down, I was like,"Wow, that guy's attractive."
688
00:26:04,660 --> 00:26:05,930
The rest is history.
689
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,840
A Salute to NCIS: Los Angeles:
690
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:14,960
An Entertainment Tonight Special
will continue. This is CBS.
691
00:26:19,620 --> 00:26:21,130
?
692
00:26:24,550 --> 00:26:29,050
Chris, Dani, Eric, Todd.
693
00:26:29,250 --> 00:26:31,260
You guys killed it, man.
14 years.
694
00:26:31,460 --> 00:26:34,550
And, just, well done.
Well done, guys.
695
00:26:37,550 --> 00:26:39,460
To all my brothers, and sisters over there
696
00:26:39,660 --> 00:26:42,770
at, NCIS: L.A.,
um, I love you guys.
697
00:26:42,970 --> 00:26:44,020
And you guys know
how I feel about you.
698
00:26:44,220 --> 00:26:45,810
So good luck, break a leg.
699
00:26:46,010 --> 00:26:48,600
To everyone atNCIS: L.A.,
700
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,020
best of luck.
701
00:26:50,220 --> 00:26:51,950
Cheers.
702
00:26:52,150 --> 00:26:54,020
Thank you forholding down theNCIS fort
703
00:26:54,220 --> 00:26:56,950
and, representing,
and then,
704
00:26:57,150 --> 00:26:59,400
who knows, maybe you pop over
to our show every now and then.
705
00:27:01,860 --> 00:27:03,950
Yeah, you see,that's some love right there
706
00:27:04,150 --> 00:27:05,710
from theNCIS flagship.
707
00:27:05,910 --> 00:27:07,950
You know,NCIS: L.A. wasthe first of three spin-offs
708
00:27:08,150 --> 00:27:11,530
from the show, making its debut back in 2009.
709
00:27:11,730 --> 00:27:14,260
But get this: the O.G.,starring Mark Harmon,
710
00:27:14,460 --> 00:27:15,460
actually branched off
711
00:27:15,660 --> 00:27:18,600
from the hit seriesJAG
in 2003.
712
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,640
Now, we first met Callen,Sam, Kensi and Beale
713
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,190
in a two-partNCIS episodethat served
714
00:27:25,390 --> 00:27:27,150
as a backdoor pilot for L.A.
715
00:27:27,350 --> 00:27:30,980
So what was it like on setfor that very first scene?
716
00:27:31,180 --> 00:27:32,950
- A mark!
- Action!
717
00:27:37,270 --> 00:27:40,440
Yes, I got hit by a car today.
That was a lot of fun.
718
00:27:45,060 --> 00:27:48,770
It's my first, I s--
yeah, big American job,
719
00:27:48,970 --> 00:27:51,120
so, I'm pretty excited.
720
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,710
- Are you trying
to get under my skin?
- Is it working?
721
00:27:53,910 --> 00:27:56,500
I'm at the table read onNCIS,
722
00:27:56,700 --> 00:27:58,290
and, I rememberwe walked in that room,
723
00:27:58,490 --> 00:28:00,400
and I'm just meeting everybody.
724
00:28:00,590 --> 00:28:02,080
I'm like,
"I remember watching him
725
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,670
- onFriday Night Videos,
you know?"- Yeah.
726
00:28:03,870 --> 00:28:05,400
? Don't call it a comeback?
727
00:28:05,590 --> 00:28:07,080
? I been here for years...?
728
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:08,710
You got my man here, and...
729
00:28:08,910 --> 00:28:10,050
and, and then,the cast came in
730
00:28:10,250 --> 00:28:12,430
from the original show,
and they were like a family.
731
00:28:12,630 --> 00:28:14,430
We're like--
I'm looking around, going,
732
00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:16,910
"Is this group gonna be close
like that group?"
733
00:28:17,110 --> 00:28:18,430
- And you just don't know.
- Wow.
734
00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:20,530
If you look back, the journey
735
00:28:20,730 --> 00:28:23,020
and the friendships and the bonds, it's incredible.
736
00:28:23,220 --> 00:28:24,360
And we absolutely dohave that relationship
737
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,220
that we saw the other cast had.
738
00:28:27,420 --> 00:28:29,530
And just like the original,
739
00:28:29,730 --> 00:28:31,400
L.A. has beenat the forefront
740
00:28:31,590 --> 00:28:33,080
of telling stories that matter.
741
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,330
What Sam went throuhwith his wife dying,
742
00:28:34,530 --> 00:28:36,190
and stuff like that.
743
00:28:36,390 --> 00:28:39,190
And-and my characterwas searching for his parents
744
00:28:39,390 --> 00:28:40,770
and-and their relationshipswith Hetty.
745
00:28:40,970 --> 00:28:42,430
And there-there arecertain episodes
746
00:28:42,630 --> 00:28:44,330
where it's-it's action and fun,
747
00:28:44,530 --> 00:28:45,710
and then there's some where
you're kind of digging deep.
748
00:28:45,910 --> 00:28:47,740
Honoring the militaryis another mission
749
00:28:47,940 --> 00:28:50,150
that's highly personalto this team.
750
00:28:50,350 --> 00:28:51,570
My-my grandfatherwas in the Army,
751
00:28:51,770 --> 00:28:53,770
um, my dad was in the Navy.
752
00:28:53,970 --> 00:28:55,020
So I believe in this country,
753
00:28:55,220 --> 00:28:56,840
I believe in what
the military does
754
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,530
and I believe
in supporting the troops.
755
00:28:58,730 --> 00:29:01,080
And, as-- My character'sa former Navy SEAL,
756
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,770
so it-it just,
it's a lot of fun to-to...
757
00:29:03,970 --> 00:29:06,220
to be able to represent!
758
00:29:06,420 --> 00:29:07,670
I think you got to celebrate
the people
759
00:29:07,870 --> 00:29:09,400
that put their lives
on the line.
760
00:29:09,590 --> 00:29:11,570
You know, I-I do believe,
as, as somebody
761
00:29:11,770 --> 00:29:12,840
that has a brother-in-law
762
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,330
that's done seven tours
as an E.O.D.
763
00:29:15,530 --> 00:29:17,400
and a brotherthat is a former Navy SEAL,
764
00:29:17,590 --> 00:29:19,460
that you got to celebratethe people
765
00:29:19,660 --> 00:29:21,430
that are willing to go out theeand put their lives
766
00:29:21,630 --> 00:29:24,670
on the line every single day to-to give us this opportunity.
767
00:29:24,870 --> 00:29:26,430
McRANEY:They have touched on some
768
00:29:26,630 --> 00:29:30,330
controversial subjects
from time to time.
769
00:29:30,530 --> 00:29:32,840
But their overall emphasisis on entertainment.
770
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,080
They never preached.
771
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,810
They would take a point of vie,but they didn't preach.
772
00:29:37,010 --> 00:29:38,220
They entertained with it.
773
00:29:38,420 --> 00:29:39,950
Entertainingwith a message
774
00:29:40,150 --> 00:29:42,950
is what madeNCIS: L.A.
so compelling.
775
00:29:43,150 --> 00:29:45,980
Consider this: it's one of the first American TV shows
776
00:29:46,180 --> 00:29:48,740
to feature a series regularwearing a hijab.
777
00:29:48,940 --> 00:29:50,950
Special Agent Fatima Namazi.
778
00:29:51,150 --> 00:29:51,950
It was always a characterwith a hijab.
779
00:29:52,150 --> 00:29:53,840
That was always the plan.
780
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,260
Went into the audition
with a headscarf on.
781
00:29:56,460 --> 00:29:58,290
Um, yeah, I think that
they-they really wanted
782
00:29:58,490 --> 00:30:00,290
to represent that, um,
783
00:30:00,490 --> 00:30:03,740
so they wanted to find someonewho-who emulated that.
784
00:30:03,940 --> 00:30:06,120
We've made a point of sort of
785
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,950
shining a light
on certain issues,
786
00:30:08,150 --> 00:30:09,400
whether it wasAsian American hate,
787
00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:13,330
whether it wasLGBTQ in the military,
788
00:30:13,530 --> 00:30:15,460
whether it was police brutality
against African Americans.
789
00:30:15,660 --> 00:30:16,950
- Out of the car.
- Hey, w-whoa!
790
00:30:17,150 --> 00:30:18,950
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
791
00:30:19,150 --> 00:30:21,290
It was very, very important
for me to tackle that
792
00:30:21,490 --> 00:30:23,400
and tell that story
in a way that also
793
00:30:23,590 --> 00:30:25,810
reflected, like, my life.
794
00:30:26,010 --> 00:30:28,050
Super important for me
as a young Black male.
795
00:30:28,250 --> 00:30:29,910
Unless Rountree murdered
somebody this morning,
796
00:30:30,110 --> 00:30:31,950
there's no explanation for this.
797
00:30:32,150 --> 00:30:34,770
And then there are the fierce women ofNCIS: L.A.,
798
00:30:34,970 --> 00:30:36,770
giving us strong, independent
799
00:30:36,970 --> 00:30:38,950
and empowered role modelsfor generations to come.
800
00:30:39,150 --> 00:30:40,750
Out of the car.
801
00:30:42,550 --> 00:30:43,550
Weapon.
802
00:30:45,790 --> 00:30:47,500
I presumed,
803
00:30:47,700 --> 00:30:49,980
in my 24 years of age,
804
00:30:50,180 --> 00:30:51,980
that if I'm going to be strong
and intelligent
805
00:30:52,180 --> 00:30:54,120
and a go-getterand all this stuff,
806
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,050
that I had to perform,like, kind of stiff
807
00:30:56,250 --> 00:30:58,150
and very poised
808
00:30:58,350 --> 00:31:00,710
and-and once I fell intobeing more at ease
809
00:31:00,910 --> 00:31:02,530
with the character and knowingthat I could be strong
810
00:31:02,730 --> 00:31:06,880
and tough and capable and smar,
811
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,290
but also a goofball,
it kind of changed everything.
812
00:31:09,490 --> 00:31:10,840
And that was
the empowering thing.
813
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,360
To be an example
for other young women...
814
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,810
Actually, I have a great story.
815
00:31:16,010 --> 00:31:17,570
I went home to New Yorkfor the summer,
816
00:31:17,770 --> 00:31:19,220
and this person, she said,
817
00:31:19,420 --> 00:31:22,120
"I just want to tell youthat Nell Jones
818
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,980
"makes all that tech stufflook cool.
819
00:31:25,180 --> 00:31:27,840
"And my daughter sees that,
and she sees you,
820
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,640
and you've helped her
see herself."
821
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,360
It is the differenceof entertainment
822
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:33,810
from when I was a kid, like,
823
00:31:34,010 --> 00:31:35,980
what an '80s hero looks like
versus now.
824
00:31:36,180 --> 00:31:38,020
Like, the fact
that my two daughters,
825
00:31:38,220 --> 00:31:39,910
when they get to watchtheir aunt,
826
00:31:40,110 --> 00:31:42,360
like, as the toughest personin the room,
827
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,050
I think it's, whether it's conscious or subconscious,
828
00:31:46,250 --> 00:31:47,640
I thinkit's an absolute necessity
829
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,750
for-for us to have, you know...
830
00:31:52,060 --> 00:31:54,190
...those-those heroes.
831
00:31:54,390 --> 00:31:56,460
Coming up in our
Salute to NCIS: L.A.,
832
00:31:56,660 --> 00:31:59,050
the family behind the scenes.
833
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:02,050
McRANEY:She's married to heron-screen husband's brother.
834
00:32:02,250 --> 00:32:03,030
So, it's...
835
00:32:04,410 --> 00:32:06,640
And remembering a fallen legen.
836
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:07,820
Miguel was special, man.
837
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,930
Even in his last weeks of life,
he never missed a table read.
838
00:32:18,100 --> 00:32:19,720
?
839
00:32:23,790 --> 00:32:26,150
That guy there--
the really cute one--
840
00:32:26,350 --> 00:32:28,150
so you think it's Deeks?
It's not Deeks.
841
00:32:28,350 --> 00:32:29,670
That's my husband.
842
00:32:29,870 --> 00:32:31,400
Right in the back there.
843
00:32:31,590 --> 00:32:33,050
They're interacting
in a very interesting way.
844
00:32:33,250 --> 00:32:37,750
Perhaps we can get closer
and observe them... in the wild.
845
00:32:38,930 --> 00:32:41,600
That's my husband right there!
846
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:46,220
McRANEY:She's married to heron-screen husband's brother.
847
00:32:46,420 --> 00:32:48,460
So, it's...
848
00:32:48,660 --> 00:32:50,080
a strange family dynamic.
849
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,670
You are so not my type.
850
00:32:51,870 --> 00:32:53,640
Boy.
851
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,430
Talk about family drama.
No, I'm just kidding.
852
00:32:55,630 --> 00:32:57,400
They're so great.
853
00:32:59,110 --> 00:33:00,020
I'm like, "You guys are
854
00:33:00,220 --> 00:33:01,530
like brother and sister."
855
00:33:01,730 --> 00:33:03,220
Like, the conversations, the...
856
00:33:03,420 --> 00:33:04,810
you know, the little bickering
back and forth.
857
00:33:05,010 --> 00:33:07,570
God. Now they're gonna air this.
858
00:33:07,770 --> 00:33:09,790
This is the worst part
about your bad decisions.
859
00:33:10,930 --> 00:33:11,980
How does it...?
860
00:33:12,180 --> 00:33:13,950
God, no.
861
00:33:14,150 --> 00:33:15,330
- Yes.
- Do you know
how much time we spend...?
862
00:33:15,530 --> 00:33:17,050
- We do, actually, don't we?
- Yes.
863
00:33:18,770 --> 00:33:20,500
Now. Bam. Done. Cut.
864
00:33:20,700 --> 00:33:22,000
You got it. It was great.
865
00:33:23,620 --> 00:33:25,400
Eric joined us, end of season one,
866
00:33:25,590 --> 00:33:27,290
and he said, "You need to meet my brother."
867
00:33:27,490 --> 00:33:30,570
And then I met Eric's now-wife- at the time, girlfriend-- Sara.
868
00:33:30,770 --> 00:33:31,880
And she was like,"You need to meet Dave.
869
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,500
You need to meet Dave."
870
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:35,840
Eric and Sarah invited me
to go to a friend's house.
871
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,360
Dave was there, and he...
872
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,150
They were playing,
873
00:33:40,350 --> 00:33:41,710
touch football
or something like that.
874
00:33:41,910 --> 00:33:43,120
And the ball came flying
in my direction,
875
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:44,640
and he kind of, like,
flew and caught the ball
876
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,120
and fell at my feet.
877
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:47,710
And I looked down,
and I said, "What's up?"
878
00:33:47,910 --> 00:33:49,740
And I didn't know that was
Eric's brother at the time.
879
00:33:49,940 --> 00:33:52,460
I looked down, and I was like,
"Wow, that guy's attractive."
880
00:33:52,660 --> 00:33:54,740
Turns out it was Dave, turns out the attraction was mutual,
881
00:33:54,940 --> 00:33:57,640
and turns out we got marriedand had two kids.
882
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,740
The rest is history.
883
00:34:00,940 --> 00:34:03,910
In 2013, Dave and Danihad their first son, River,
884
00:34:04,110 --> 00:34:07,810
just four months after Eric and Sarah welcomed his cousin Wyat.
885
00:34:08,010 --> 00:34:11,290
Then, in 2016, both women gave birth to girls
886
00:34:11,490 --> 00:34:13,220
just three weeks apart.
887
00:34:13,420 --> 00:34:15,050
- Eric definitely got
the brunt of it.
- Comes home,
888
00:34:15,250 --> 00:34:17,530
and he's like, "Man, Dani today." And I'm like,
889
00:34:17,730 --> 00:34:18,910
"What are you talking about?
What do you mean?"
890
00:34:19,110 --> 00:34:20,600
Just like...
891
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,080
I remember the first time
892
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,510
the cast ever went outto dinner together.
893
00:34:24,750 --> 00:34:26,190
And it was season one,so at the time,
894
00:34:26,390 --> 00:34:28,290
I was like, "my God,
I'm having dinner
895
00:34:28,490 --> 00:34:31,400
with Chris O'Donnell
and LL Cool J. My God."
896
00:34:31,590 --> 00:34:33,020
And now I'm just like,
"Yeah, what's up, bro?"
897
00:34:33,220 --> 00:34:35,570
They're my brothers.
898
00:34:35,770 --> 00:34:37,220
I love them so much.
899
00:34:37,420 --> 00:34:38,950
I think when you work
900
00:34:39,150 --> 00:34:41,950
this closely with people for
so long, we have a real rapport
901
00:34:42,150 --> 00:34:44,080
and a real relationshipwith them.
902
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:45,710
We're going to always know eachother and always be friends.
903
00:34:45,910 --> 00:34:47,580
I mean, it's just,
this is what it is.
904
00:34:48,890 --> 00:34:51,910
The relationshipsthat you see on camera,
905
00:34:52,110 --> 00:34:54,530
the chemistry that you see
there, is-is due to the fact
906
00:34:54,730 --> 00:34:57,020
that we all have great
relationships outside of work.
907
00:34:57,220 --> 00:34:57,950
It is like a family.
908
00:34:58,150 --> 00:34:59,460
That's what was so beautiful
909
00:34:59,660 --> 00:35:00,980
about the show,
is it really was a family.
910
00:35:01,180 --> 00:35:03,360
And just like any family,
911
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,080
the cast facedsome heartbreaking losses.
912
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,950
In January 2017,their beloved costar,
913
00:35:09,150 --> 00:35:12,880
Miguel Ferrer, passed awayafter battling throat cancer.
914
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,330
His final episode as NCIS Assistant Director Owen Granger
915
00:35:16,530 --> 00:35:18,950
aired February 19, 2017.
916
00:35:19,150 --> 00:35:21,530
His loss is still felt.
917
00:35:21,730 --> 00:35:23,500
Yeah, it's tough.
Miguel was tough.
918
00:35:23,700 --> 00:35:26,550
You can watch his lastcouple episodes. He was...
919
00:35:29,790 --> 00:35:31,880
He was really struggling.
920
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,360
And the fact that
921
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,480
even though he was...
922
00:35:40,060 --> 00:35:41,810
Even in his last weeks of life,
923
00:35:42,010 --> 00:35:44,190
he never missed a table read.
He came
924
00:35:44,390 --> 00:35:46,120
to every table read.
925
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:47,500
I just assumed that
926
00:35:47,700 --> 00:35:49,670
he was going to get better
like he did the time before.
927
00:35:49,870 --> 00:35:51,620
And then
when he passed away, like...
928
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,100
Didn't get a chance to...
929
00:36:02,510 --> 00:36:04,550
We didn't get a chance
to say goodbye to him.
930
00:36:08,060 --> 00:36:09,220
After he passed, his wife
931
00:36:09,420 --> 00:36:11,740
came up to me, and,
932
00:36:11,940 --> 00:36:14,670
um... she said, "You know,
933
00:36:14,870 --> 00:36:19,150
Miguel was always really shy
on the red carpets and stuff."
934
00:36:19,350 --> 00:36:21,710
She said, "He would waitfor you to arrive."
935
00:36:21,910 --> 00:36:23,770
'Cause I'm obviously, like,
big and loud and whatever.
936
00:36:23,970 --> 00:36:25,260
And she's like,
"He would wait for you to arrive
937
00:36:25,460 --> 00:36:27,600
so he could walk down the carpet
with you."
938
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,400
His last red carpet, I was super pregnant with my daughte,
939
00:36:31,590 --> 00:36:34,840
and I kept yelling out
that it was his baby.
940
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,860
You know, and he laughed,
and we laughed together.
941
00:36:38,510 --> 00:36:39,890
He was...
942
00:36:40,860 --> 00:36:43,220
...a big storyteller.
943
00:36:43,420 --> 00:36:46,360
I mean, he was the epitomeof a Hollywood baby, right?
944
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:47,770
He grew up
945
00:36:47,970 --> 00:36:51,050
in old Hollywood, and he was
946
00:36:51,250 --> 00:36:53,500
just a wealth of information.
947
00:36:53,700 --> 00:36:57,400
Frank Sinatra was in his
living room when he was a kid
948
00:36:57,590 --> 00:36:58,600
because his mom wasRosemary Clooney,
949
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,260
and I mean, just...
950
00:37:00,460 --> 00:37:02,770
You know, and his cousinGeorge Clooney.
951
00:37:02,970 --> 00:37:03,950
We got inside tips
about George's wedding.
952
00:37:04,150 --> 00:37:06,080
You know,
953
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,120
that's not normal life.
954
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:10,910
Miguel was special, man.
955
00:37:11,110 --> 00:37:12,430
You know,
956
00:37:12,630 --> 00:37:14,460
he was Miguel Bond to me.
He was the coolest dude.
957
00:37:14,660 --> 00:37:16,080
And I saw him--
He rolled up on a horse one day,
958
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,500
one of these seasons.He, like, rolled up so cool.
959
00:37:18,700 --> 00:37:20,290
Like, yo, Miguel was
960
00:37:20,490 --> 00:37:21,640
the coolest dude on the planet.
961
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,770
Yo, he was hilarious.He was amazing.
962
00:37:23,970 --> 00:37:24,960
Good memories.
963
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,640
It's hard for me
to even put into words.
964
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,910
14 years isone-third of my life.
965
00:37:35,110 --> 00:37:37,080
The cast reflects on their journey, but if you think
966
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,740
they left the set empty-handed,think again.
967
00:37:40,940 --> 00:37:41,460
I was thinkingabout putting the boatshed
968
00:37:41,660 --> 00:37:42,440
in my backyard.
969
00:37:49,060 --> 00:37:50,580
?
970
00:37:52,790 --> 00:37:55,530
- What am I doing? Praying?
- Not so much here.
971
00:37:55,730 --> 00:37:57,360
Okay, this is going to be
on national television.
972
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,150
Okay.
973
00:37:59,350 --> 00:38:01,430
Can you describe NCIS
974
00:38:01,630 --> 00:38:04,020
only using the letters
N,C, I and S?
975
00:38:04,220 --> 00:38:05,170
Wow.
976
00:38:06,370 --> 00:38:08,400
New.
977
00:38:08,590 --> 00:38:10,220
Classic.
978
00:38:10,420 --> 00:38:12,880
NCIS.Geez.
979
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,570
Inspiring, did you say? Yes.
980
00:38:15,770 --> 00:38:17,080
Sexy.
981
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:18,570
Really?
982
00:38:18,770 --> 00:38:20,080
Okay. You ready?
983
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:21,260
Yeah. What was the question?
984
00:38:21,460 --> 00:38:23,440
"Never ceases..."
985
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,360
"...to interrupt...
986
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,600
the sexy."
987
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,600
That's the worst thing
I've ever said on camera.
988
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,260
- What did Chris say?
- Sexy.
989
00:38:32,460 --> 00:38:34,260
Same thing? My God.
990
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,500
I'm on the catwalk with...
991
00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:41,330
? I'm too sexyfor this uniform.?
992
00:38:41,530 --> 00:38:43,400
You know, it wasn't alwayshard work and chasing
993
00:38:43,590 --> 00:38:45,980
bad guysfor theNCIS: L.A. cast.
994
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,330
And after 14 years on a set,
995
00:38:51,530 --> 00:38:54,330
it starts to feellike a second home.
996
00:38:54,530 --> 00:38:56,360
So, what do you do when it's time to say goodbye?
997
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,840
You take some keepsakes.
998
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,400
I got all the goodies.
999
00:39:03,110 --> 00:39:05,290
I got all the goodies.
1000
00:39:05,490 --> 00:39:07,460
Nah, I just wanted my, um...
1001
00:39:07,660 --> 00:39:09,570
- I got my vest.- I got my vest.
1002
00:39:09,770 --> 00:39:10,840
- Um, I got my badge.
- You did?
1003
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,400
- Yeah, I got the badge.
- I need to...
1004
00:39:12,590 --> 00:39:13,740
- I need to get my badge.
- You like that?
You like that?
1005
00:39:13,940 --> 00:39:15,260
Yeah, you kind of
one-upped me there.
1006
00:39:15,460 --> 00:39:16,840
I took a lotof Kensi clothes because,
1007
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,050
come on, those boots,those jeans,
1008
00:39:19,250 --> 00:39:22,740
those sweaters,
those plaid shirts.
1009
00:39:22,940 --> 00:39:24,950
So we always had two badgesin case
1010
00:39:25,150 --> 00:39:25,950
one got lost.We had two badges.
1011
00:39:26,150 --> 00:39:27,670
And I asked for both badges
1012
00:39:27,870 --> 00:39:29,050
so I could eventuallygive one to each kid.
1013
00:39:29,250 --> 00:39:31,080
I'd be like, "Look."
1014
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,430
And on the badges is still
my photograph from season one.
1015
00:39:33,630 --> 00:39:35,740
So...
1016
00:39:35,940 --> 00:39:37,120
If you, watch the finale,
1017
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,840
I'm wearing a pink blazerto the wedding.
1018
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,260
And I literally took that,
1019
00:39:40,460 --> 00:39:41,600
and then wore itto the wrap party.
1020
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,030
And a bunch of Jordans.
1021
00:39:46,060 --> 00:39:48,220
Wearing them right now.
Just go like that. Yup.
1022
00:39:48,420 --> 00:39:51,460
I got to snag a few clothes
and some shoes.
1023
00:39:51,660 --> 00:39:53,050
I just took my chair back,
1024
00:39:53,250 --> 00:39:55,840
and I took a lot of wardrobe.
I...
1025
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,150
Rountree's got a good wardrobe.
1026
00:39:58,350 --> 00:39:59,950
I want to make sureI get a Sam Hanna outfit
1027
00:40:00,150 --> 00:40:01,150
and a Callen outfit.
1028
00:40:01,350 --> 00:40:02,570
I want that, as well,
so I can put it
1029
00:40:02,770 --> 00:40:03,980
in one of those shadow boxes.
1030
00:40:04,180 --> 00:40:05,640
I'm trying to pack up
1031
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,740
the rental house
that we've had in Encino
1032
00:40:07,940 --> 00:40:09,980
and move all of that stuff
to Florida.
1033
00:40:10,180 --> 00:40:11,500
And when I thoughtabout taking something
1034
00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:13,500
from the set, it was like,
1035
00:40:13,700 --> 00:40:15,570
"What are you thinking of?
1036
00:40:15,770 --> 00:40:18,740
"You got enough crap to haul to
the other side of the country.
1037
00:40:18,940 --> 00:40:19,960
Get over it."
1038
00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:24,220
But it's not reallygoodbye for this cast, 'cause
1039
00:40:24,420 --> 00:40:26,570
once you're family,you're always family.
1040
00:40:26,770 --> 00:40:28,290
And let's not forgetabout the group text.
1041
00:40:28,490 --> 00:40:29,950
I'll text him dumb stuff,
and he will me,
1042
00:40:30,150 --> 00:40:31,220
as much as I would
my best friends
1043
00:40:31,420 --> 00:40:32,910
from college or high school.
1044
00:40:33,110 --> 00:40:34,290
There's a couple of different
ones, which is interesting.
1045
00:40:34,490 --> 00:40:36,570
You got LL Cool Jon a text thread,
1046
00:40:36,770 --> 00:40:38,050
you don't want to just be
hitting it every day.
1047
00:40:38,250 --> 00:40:39,500
That's LL.
1048
00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:41,500
So that one's...
You-you save the special stuff
1049
00:40:41,700 --> 00:40:43,910
for-for the one
with everybody on it.
1050
00:40:44,110 --> 00:40:46,770
Just pick up the damn phoneand talk to me.
1051
00:40:46,970 --> 00:40:48,670
McRANEY:Everybody in that castI want to see again.
1052
00:40:48,870 --> 00:40:50,980
I've given everybody my number.
1053
00:40:51,180 --> 00:40:54,600
They know where I'm moving.
It's.... yeah, you know.
1054
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:55,950
- I will- see him more...- Yeah.
1055
00:40:56,150 --> 00:40:57,220
...now that we're not working.
1056
00:40:57,420 --> 00:40:58,810
It's my man. Like, we...
1057
00:40:59,010 --> 00:41:00,120
Look, we worked together
for 14 years.
1058
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:01,360
He's got a little BabyBjo�rn.
1059
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:02,950
He's going
to carry me around town.
1060
00:41:03,150 --> 00:41:04,150
Just kind of cozy in there.
1061
00:41:04,350 --> 00:41:05,810
It's gonna be great.
It's gonna be great.
1062
00:41:06,010 --> 00:41:07,400
Chris needs some milk.
1063
00:41:09,150 --> 00:41:13,530
Here's to happy endings
and new beginnings.
1064
00:41:13,730 --> 00:41:15,400
What is the thingthat I will miss the most?
1065
00:41:15,590 --> 00:41:17,290
And when you have a kid
1066
00:41:17,490 --> 00:41:19,710
that moves out herefrom Iowa with $500
1067
00:41:19,910 --> 00:41:21,360
in his pocket with, like,
the hopes and dreams
1068
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,810
of doing something special, you
can't ask for more than that,
1069
00:41:25,010 --> 00:41:27,330
which is to go to workwith people you love
1070
00:41:27,530 --> 00:41:29,150
and get to do somethingthat-that you care about
1071
00:41:29,350 --> 00:41:31,570
and to tell storiesthat sometimes,
1072
00:41:31,770 --> 00:41:34,150
much to my surprise,like, mattered to people.
1073
00:41:34,350 --> 00:41:37,530
I-I mean, I don't understand
how you can't miss that.
1074
00:41:37,730 --> 00:41:39,570
I'm going to miss this.
1075
00:41:39,770 --> 00:41:41,120
And I think
we did good work here.
1076
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:42,840
We did great work.
1077
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:44,880
I look around,
and these are the people
1078
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:46,980
who I'll remember
for the rest of my life.
1079
00:41:47,180 --> 00:41:49,360
You hearfrom other cast members,
1080
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,500
you hearfrom other crew members
1081
00:41:51,700 --> 00:41:55,810
how these other shows... They're
like, "Nothing is like this."
1082
00:41:56,010 --> 00:41:57,980
We are on somethingvery special.
1083
00:41:58,180 --> 00:41:59,670
You really have
to remember to cherish it,
1084
00:41:59,870 --> 00:42:02,570
um, and I think we did.
1085
00:42:02,770 --> 00:42:04,290
Now that it's all over,
how do I feel?
1086
00:42:04,490 --> 00:42:06,400
I feel super grateful.
1087
00:42:06,590 --> 00:42:09,080
I'm... so grateful
1088
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:10,570
to have beena part of something,
1089
00:42:10,770 --> 00:42:11,810
to be a part of history, reall.
1090
00:42:12,010 --> 00:42:14,950
I got to be a part of it
1091
00:42:15,150 --> 00:42:17,770
with those particular people,
that particular cast,
1092
00:42:17,970 --> 00:42:21,570
that particular crew,
those particular directors.
1093
00:42:21,770 --> 00:42:23,710
This particular network.
1094
00:42:23,910 --> 00:42:26,190
My God.
1095
00:42:26,390 --> 00:42:27,740
Pinch me.
1096
00:42:27,940 --> 00:42:29,190
It's time, and we're good.
1097
00:42:29,390 --> 00:42:31,020
I think we're fine with it.
1098
00:42:31,220 --> 00:42:33,950
I think, at the end of the day,
would we have continued? Sure.
1099
00:42:34,150 --> 00:42:35,570
But if this is...
But the time is right.
1100
00:42:35,770 --> 00:42:37,290
- We ended on top.
- Yeah.
1101
00:42:37,490 --> 00:42:38,770
You know, we ended on top,
1102
00:42:38,970 --> 00:42:40,640
and-and that's
a beautiful thing.
1103
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,710
- That was a pretty sweet moment.
- Yeah.
1104
00:42:43,910 --> 00:42:45,880
I've had a lot of those
over the years.
1105
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,260
You know,this empty soundstage
1106
00:42:47,460 --> 00:42:48,880
holds a lot of memories.
1107
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,430
Lifelong friendships
were forged here.
1108
00:42:51,630 --> 00:42:53,910
Great television was created.
1109
00:42:54,110 --> 00:42:56,770
