NCIS Star Sean Murray Reveals On-Set Injury!

During a recent podcast episode with former NCIS co-stars Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo, Sean Murray, who has portrayed Special Agent Timothy McGee since the show’s inception, reminisced about a memorable mishap from the early days of the series. Recalling a scene from Season 2 where McGee had to sprint through a car wash in pursuit of a suspect, Murray revealed that he had a significant injury during filming.

According to ScreenRant, Murray recounted how he slipped and fell on his hand while making a sharp turn during the car wash sequence. This accident resulted in him experiencing ongoing limited mobility in his right thumb. Despite the mishap, Murray humorously described how actors often continue filming without fully realizing the extent of their injuries until later.

While the incident could have been more severe, Murray’s ability to continue his role throughout NCIS’s 20 seasons demonstrates his professionalism and dedication to the show. Although such mishaps are not uncommon in the filming industry, Murray’s resilience and good spirits about the incident reflect his commitment to his craft.

As NCIS prepares for its 22nd season and with Murray showing no signs of leaving the series, fans can continue to anticipate more captivating stories and unexpected moments from the veteran actor.
