Welcome back to the new and improved TVShowBlog! Let’s get this party started!

Except for Mark Harmon, the cast of NCIS kept relatively quiet about the behind the scene shake-up during the off season. Now in an interview with TV GUIDE cast member Michael Weatherly finally breaks his silence on the subject…and tells us nothing.

TV Guide quotes DiNozzo:

I stay largely outside the politics of the show. I learned two lessons on another show [Dark Angel, in which he costarred with — and became engaged to — Jessica Alba]: The less I say the better, and don’t date your costar! So Mark Harmon and I have never dated. Though the Silver Fox and I did spend a week in Vermont that nobody knows about.

Jessica Alba!?! Anthony DiNozzo was once engaged to Jessica Alba? OMYGOD! Anyway, Weatherly then discusses the man who inspired him to become an actor:

I saw every Tom Hanks movie on opening day — which is how I came to Joe Versus the Volcano. That was the catalyst [to become an actor]. My girlfriend Betsy thought I was a lunatic to move to New York. And clearly Betsy was on the money.

Clearly, the line between where character Anthony DiNozzo ends and actor Michael Weatherly begins is a verrry fine one. NCIS airs Tuesdays at 8pm on CBS.
