Eric Christian Olsen has never been one to shy away from a challenge — and now, the NCIS: Los Angeles fan favorite is ready to level up behind the scenes. Best known for his quick-witted, big-hearted role as Marty Deeks, Olsen recently revealed that he “would love to” take on more responsibility within the franchise.
The actor, who already brings sharp comedic timing and emotional depth to the long-running series, hinted that his ambitions go beyond the screen. Producing, directing, or shaping storylines? Olsen is open to all of it.
Over the years, he’s proven his creative instincts through various projects, including his work as a producer on other series. Fans know him as the charming detective-turned-lawyer on screen, but colleagues recognize him as a leader with strong ideas and a passion for storytelling.
It’s a natural evolution for the star, who has become one of the show’s most beloved pillars. And as NCIS: LA continues to expand its universe and deepen its characters, Olsen stepping into a larger creative role feels like the perfect next chapter.
For viewers, the prospect is exciting: more Deeks, more heart, and more of Olsen’s unique touch guiding the stories they love.
