    When will Tony be replaced by someone who is capable and intelligent? The other characters are believable and likable but Tony is totally annoying. I don't understand why Gibbs keeps him around. He should hire someone who is familiar with the Navy. Its a

    I would like to see Tony replaced by someone capable. Does anyone know his history with the Baltimore police force? I don't understand what kind of character the writers were thinking of when they wrote the part or hired Michael to fill it. He should move on to some comedy show.

    Hate his character. Too many men only find women as sex objects. He truly annoys me on NCIS. I wish he wasn't on the show because I absolutely love everybody else. His character is disgusting to me!!! hide show

    Every episode finds him in the same state of mind.....sex. He cheapens the show with his constant drooling over every woman he sees except the not-so-goodlooking ones. He rates women only by their looks. He is jealous of bright and intelligent women. I realize he is acting, but in real life many males have a negative opinion of women. I love NCIS, but I am turned off to his character.
    However, Tim, Ducky and Gibbs rock my world!!! I watch episodes over and over, mostly because they are written so well and Gibbs is fabulous!!!!
    Also, the women are exceptional....strong, brilliant, imaginative, inventive and a benefit to womanhood.

    Has anyone noticed that Michael resembles a young George Peppard? hide show

    Has anyone noticed that Michael resembles a young George Peppard? I like Tony's character when he is more serious. I think Michael could be a very good dramatic actor. His relationship with Jean was a good story line and it is too bad that this love interest is no more. The sparks between Tony and Siva leaves you guessing. I think Tony's character should tone it down a little. I hope in the future that Tony gets a chance to be more professional in his job as a N.I.C.S. Agent and stop with all the annoying parts. Good Luck in the Future.

    He does obnoxious very well. hide show

    It says a lot about him as an actor that he can play such an obnoxious guy so well and still be so charming. I have no idea what he's like in real life, but he pulls off this character with great talent. Not just the comments, but the looks, the laugh. After he took over the team temporarily when Gibbs "retired" and then met "the doctor," his character took on a new depth. Since I'm watching the show in reruns, I don't yet know what his character is like currently, but I'm looking forward to finding out.

    Funny with depth. hide show

    Tony/Weatherly is a great character who, I will say, at times I cannot stand, but that has some real depth to him. Sure, he is immature, but doesn't he display that side of us that never grows up, that is always a child? And in truth, he is actually very smart, no matter how dumb he appears to be. He would never reveal this in front of his colleagues but he really is quite intellectual. In the show, he provides some wonderfully funny moments and a tension with Ziva in the subtext that has created more interest on the show, created a more human side to it. He lightens up the heavily enamored context of murder, making NCIS the comedy it is. The show would not be the same without him.
