Watching shows and movies had always been me and my grandpa’s thing. A lot of times I would walk in on something he was watching and suddenly be drawn in to what was playing on the television screen.
One time he had been watching a show that caught my interest, so I sat down and watched the rest of the episode with him. When I asked my grandpa what show it was, he responded with NCIS.
From that moment forward I was absolutely obsessed, not only with NCIS, but NCIS: LA and just about every other cop show he watched. We would regularly sit down and watch NCIS whenever we didn’t have anything new to watch or just because, as we loved the characters.
Ducky was no exception.
I absolutely fell in love with his character and how he interacted with everyone. He would either have our hearts warming at certain gestures and talks, or on occasion we’d be laughing our heads off at something he said.
Sadly, my grandpa unexpectedly passed away two years ago, and watching the shows we used to enjoy together is rough sometimes…NCIS included. Still, my love for the show lives on as does his, and I’m absolutely heartbroken at the news of David, who played Ducky.
Thank you for your endless years of bringing the character to life.
Thank you for being a part of a show that I could enjoy with someone else.
Sometimes, I think the main reason I fell in love with the character is because he reminded me of my Grandpa.
Rest In Peace David McCallum.
NCIS
High achiever, don't you see?
Baby, nothing comes for free
They say I'm a control freak
Driven by a greed to succeed
Nobody can stop me
'Cause it's my problem if I want to pack up and run away
It's my business if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway
It's my problem, it's my problem
If I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die

I'm gonna be just like you
No matter what you say I can't do
I'll follow you until the day
I could smile at you and say
Big brother Ducky I'm just like you
