Weatherly recorded a special video message for viewers, in which he reflected on his time on the long-running series, and the encounters he's had with fans over the years.

"I want to say that wherever I go, whatever men's room, restaurant, or airport I find myself in, you're there too," he deadpans. "You're with me. Sometimes it's appropriate, sometimes it's not appropriate at all. But I always love it, because I am the No. 1 fan of NCIS."
