*NCIS isn’t talked about much especially when it comes to guest stars. And DAMN they had some good ones.*

[@heatherwicker9990]

They have had some killer guest stars. ❤

[@robinturner9928]

How could you possibly forget the reoccurring role of Anthony DiNozzo Senior, always a joy to behold.

[@gaftbat]

So true or Gibbs father.

[@tiadaid]

Because Robert Wagner's casting as Tony's father is well known, especially given how Michael Weatherly played Wagner in the telemovie about Natalie Wood.

[@lilletrille1892]

[@Leadeshipcoach]

So true! Loved Dinozzo senior!

[@jasonkoch3182]

Because nobody forgot about him.

[@ideamediaanalysis8737]

What about Jon Cryer? The Two and a Half Men star played a doctor that saved Gibbs’ life in the season 13 premiere.

[@nadineher3316]

dr. Taft!

[@steveredacted1394]

Probably my favourite episode is S02E07, Call Of Silence, with Charles Durning, I love the scene where Dinozzo pulls Durning's tie aside to show his Medal of Honor and the marines snap to attention and salute.

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

That is one of my favorite episodes.

[@RobSheahan-qr2wv]

Charles Durning was a real war hero!

Durning got an Emmy nomination for that role. And it was well deserved. That's one of my very favorite episodes.

[@lesliegentile5768]

@@donjones4719 Durning should have won that Emmy!

[@NCGiantsfan72]

For older viewers of NCIS, having Ralph Waite from the Waltons playing Jackson Gibbs was a memorable appearance or having Bob Newhart playing Ducky’s predecessor as M.E for NCIS was memorable

[@fayetaylor919]

Best one I thought was Charles Durning, 2nd season, though the picks to play the Fathers was amazing Ralph Waite, Robert Wagner

[@sophiac8824]

Yeah! Literally had my memory sensor brought back to childhood and I said "damn". We had it broadcast in the UK on Channel 4 😊

[@chriskay1449]

[@nrkgalt]

Pam Dawber, Mark Harmon’s real life wife, appeared in several episodes. Their son played A younger Gibbs in several flashback scenes. Then there were all the former Star Trek actors who made appearances, including Jeri Ryan, Marina Sirtis, Tim Russ, and Connor Trinnear.

[@augiegirl1]

Don’t forget Rene Auberjonois & John Billingsley!

[@ajvosburgh]

Also Susan Diol

[@PaulinaAngel]

One of the best reoccurring roles on NCIS is of Agent Ned Dorneget, played by Matt Jones, who would appear on Breaking Bad , Mom, and other movies and shows. Another great reoccurring character is FBI Agent Tobias TC Fornell, played by Joe Spano.

[@trinaq]

Even at a young age, Millie could fake an amazingly convincing American accent. I was also surprised to see her in a small role in a 2015 Modern Family episode.

[@Fakeaorta]

I can see Millie auditioning for a different episode, but when the casting agents saw how good she was they saved her for the evil twist episode that needed a really good actress.

[@steffiphill]

And the irony is that people are now getting witchy about her changing American accent!

[@donjones4719]

When I first saw her on Stranger Things I immediately remembered her from NCIS. Her performance made her one of my two favorite guest stars - the other is Charles Durning. Learning MBB's character is a psychopath is a dark twist that might have been only an OKish ending but MBB's portrayal made it hit really hard.

[@VictoriaFire3]

Christopher Llyod isnt on this list! His guest performance had me in tears.

[@chheinrich8486]

Great scott

[@troyj3292]

Others I can think of: Alex Kingston, Pam Dawbar, Dew Carey, Jerri Ryan, Robert Wagner, Sean Astin

[@annbsirius1703]

Millie Bobby Brown was absolutely chilling and amazing in that episode! Her mother knew she was a sociopath so......

[@serene1275]

I got to watch that episode again.

[@Fakeaorta]

You wonder if some of the regular actors on the show were thinking: "Oh damn! She's a better actor than I am"!

[@chriskay1449]

THere was another great performance in that episode from Bronson PInchot, who played an imprisioned sociopath who the mother asked for advice.

[@deniselongino6769]

Gibbs’ Father, the incomparable Ralph Waite!

[@annbsirius1703]

I love that episode where he first appears and it's Pa Walton! The team's excitement that Gibbs has a father makes it one of my favorites!

Ralph Waite of The Waltons, right? 😀

[@chriskay1449]

@@AdultThirdCultureKid1971 Correct. He played John Walton Sr.

You guys really missed A LOT of great actors on this list. Part 2 needs to happen!

[@theatreracer8591]

Great List, but how about Patricia Richardson as McGee's mother-in-law?

[@lesliegentile5768]

NCIS was enriched by its stellar line up of outstanding guest stars. Gina Rowlands as Joann Fielding, Gibbs' mother-in law, was wonderful. So were the other guest stars mentioned in this thread. And Muse Watson as Mike Franks played perfeclty against Mark Harmon's Leory Jethro Gibbs. But my absolute favorite was Charles Durning as the WWII vet with delayed PTSD. I also enjoyed Drew Carey's guest turn. Factoid: I worked with Drew during his pre-fame restaurant days in Cleveland. Really a great guy!

[@taylorwatts9391]

I tell you the episode mentioned at #5 is one of my favorites. Not just because of the star mentioned, but it mixed drama and humor ever so perfectly in that episode

[@mojagabuya1530]

This makes me want to re-watch NCIS from season 1 to present

[@tystratton-quirk9859]

I was expecting Sean Astin to have a spot on the list, along with Misha Collins getting an honorable mention.

[@Fakeaorta]

Charles Durning was wonderful. NCIS has been on too long to only have a singular top ten episode. Parts 2 and maybe 3 next?

[@downeastboy84]

[@Lammy4ever7]

And the final reveal just made everything so much more gut-wrenching.

[@cfawcett9870]

It may be a small role but it is my favourite role of hers

[@patriciasnyder6915]

Colin Hanks - he really did a great job at turning his character from one persona to another.

[@Xs2...]

There was this one episode that there was a girl who was hiding secrets in paintings. An episode which brought sharp-shooting Ziva perfectly in action.

[@HariSeldon913]

Always amusing when the title is "you forgot were on" yet we get "fans remember fondly" in the video. That said, having Firefly clips makes up for it. Some you missed: Jeri Ryan - known for Trek and Leverage was Gibbs' second ex-wife. Charles Durning - played a WWII Medal of Honor recipient with survivor's guilt Terry O'Quinn - old friend of Gibbs who is hallucinating Mike Farrell - of MASH fame played a judge who was doing the Star Chamber Hal Holbrook - season 4's 'Escaped' French Stewart - played a convicted serial killer in two episodes Glen Powell - played a marine with PTSD 10 years before he was in Top Gun Maverick Adam Baldwin - played the commander of a special forces team Danica McKellar - of The Wonder Years played a murder witness who gets close to McGee Kelly Hu - played a North Korean assassin in a crossover with the LA spinoff Lance Hendrickson - our favorite 'artificial person' from Aliens played a sheriff in season 6 SXSW Cherlyl Ladd - played a girlfriend of Ducky until she turned out to be a serial killer.

[@veemonfan8102]

The only one I disagree with on this list is Jamie Lee Curtis. I absolutely loved it when she was on the show, and I had always wished she could've stayed around longer.

Also there was Torri Higgenson as medical examiner Jordan Hampton, another brief romantic interest of Ducky's, and Jessica Steen, who appeared in 6 episodes as the now deceased NCIS Special Agent Paula Cassidy. Interestingly the two actresses played the same character on different episodes of Stargate SG-1 as Dr. Elizsabeth Weir ---- I also enjoy theepisodes featuring Diane Neal as CGIS agent Abigail Borin and Susanna Thompson as Gibbs' romantic interest Hollis Mann.

[@Starmage444]

One of the best deeply emotional performances by a guest star was by Christopher LLoyd who played the WW 2 veteran who was trying to prove that he was a crewman aboard the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbour so that his ashes cold be interred with his shipmates on the wreck of the ship after his death, ------ There was also another veteran role by Vince McGill, who Im most familiar with as Det. Koirshak on Rizzolli and Islkes, the series that NCIS actress Sasha Alexander starred in.

[@garywoolton1875]

Millie Bobby Brown probably gave the most chilling peformance. but there are two other potential lists - Recurring characters such as Delilah (my favourite) Mann, Borin, thosee you wish had more appearences, (too many to list here) and simply powerful/memorable appearences, Millie Bobby Brown and Christopher Lloyd would top that list.
