My Take
I have always thought Michael Weatherly is underrated precisely because he makes difficult things look effortless. Sustaining a character as charming and potentially grating as Tony DiNozzo across more than a decade of NCIS, then anchoring Bull as a lead, takes a control of tone few television actors possess. His detours into directing and producing tell me he is more curious than comfortable, which I respect. There is a lightness to his screen presence, a Paris-educated New Yorker's wit, that never tips into smugness. His 2024 return as DiNozzo felt less like nostalgia and more like a craftsman picking up a favorite tool. That longevity is the real story.
