'NCIS' Season 12 Spoilers, Cast News: New Episode Features Teenage DiNozzo
This week on the hit crime investigative TV drama series "NCIS" Season 12, fans will see a younger version of DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) on his way to attend the military prep school.
In episode titled "Cadence," guest star Tanner Stine will play as the young NCIS Special Agent. Speaking with TVLine, executive producer Gary Glasberg said that the throwback scene of DiNozzo won't only help solve the episode's mystery but will also offer insights on who he really is.
"I think we captured the essence of who Tony may have been when he was younger -- and any time that we can give continued insight into young DiNozzo, it only informs who he is today," Glasberg said.
Meanwhile, the "NCIS" cast got the attention of fans when Weatherly snapped a photo of Emily Wickersham, who plays Ellie Bishop in the show, doing a scene. It showed her rummaging through a dumpster which clearly suggests that the upcoming segment will tackle on some evidences discarded on the bin.
"Dumpster Diving w Wickersham #ncis," the caption from the Instagram photo reads.
They shared a picture of Sean Murray (Timothy McGee on the series) with actor Robert Wagner who plays his dad.
"Nothing quite like hanging and working with a legend," Murray said in the caption under the photo.
Tony's scene with his dad "will be coming up a little later in the spring," the executive producer told FOX411.
In the meantime, fans can read the full synopsis of episode 14 posted on The Futon Critic:
"DiNozzo returns to the military academy he attended as a teenager after a murdered Marine and alumni of the school is found clutching the photo of a current student. Also, Bishop and her husband invite Gibbs and the team out for a special dinner."
"NCIS" Season 12 airs every Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on CBS.
