Rocky Carroll Drops Heartbreaking News – NCIS Fans, Brace Yourselves for the SAD Update!

NCIS is currently undergoing changes, with concerns swirling around the potential departure of Rocky Carroll, who portrays Director Vance. Following a home invasion scare depicted in Season 20, it has been confirmed that Vance is staying. Rocky Carroll has been a part of NCIS since 2008, and as of now, there is no indication of his departure unless it is a personal decision. While Timothy McGee’s future on the show remains uncertain, there are hints suggesting a possible promotion for his character. On the other hand, there is uncertainty about Pauley Perrette’s return, but her character is mentioned in the new script. Pauley faced health issues, including a stroke, leading to her retirement in 2020. The Season 20 premiere of NCIS recorded the lowest ratings in its history, prompting concerns about the show’s future, and fans are encouraged to support this long-running series.

Rocky Carroll initially joined CBS’s hit show NCIS in Season 5, and he revealed that Mark Harmon, the lead at the time, played a pivotal role in his casting. The two had previously collaborated on Chicago Hope. Originally set for four episodes, Rocky’s role as Assistant Director Leon Vance evolved into a long-term commitment. He credits Harmon’s approval for securing the role and expresses gratitude for being part of the show’s success. Over the years, Rocky’s character has made appearances in spin-offs, and he has also directed episodes, solidifying his strong connection to the NCIS franchise.
