NCIS’ McGee Actor Reveals Horrifying Injury Filming Car Wash Scene!

NCIS star Sean Murray recently shared details about an injury he sustained while filming a car wash scene for the show. Murray, known for his role as agent Timothy McGee, recounted how he slipped and fell on his right hand while running during the scene. Despite the accident, Murray continued filming, only realizing later that he had injured his right thumb. Years after the incident, he still experiences limited mobility in his thumb.

The CBS series, which revolves around various criminal investigations handled by the Major Case Response Team, has featured numerous memorable sequences. In this particular scene from season 2, McGee pursues a suspect and ends up running through a functioning car wash, only to find out that Gibbs (played by Mark Harmon) had outsmarted him.

Murray’s revelation about his injury came during an appearance on the Spotify podcast “Off Duty: An NCIS Rewatch.” The podcast explores episodes and behind-the-scenes stories from the long-running series, which has also starred actors like Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette, Cote de Pablo, Sasha Alexander, Rocky Carroll, and others.
