🛑 The Final Mission: A Shocking Goodbye

“It’s always tough to say goodbye to something that’s become a part of your identity,” one longtime crew member shared. “But this season, we’re going out with purpose—and heart.”

Chris O’Donnell (G. Callen): “This role changed my life.”
Since day one, Chris O’Donnell has been the steely-eyed center of NCIS: LA as G. Callen, a man of mystery with a heart buried beneath years of secrets. Now, as the curtain begins to fall, O’Donnell is looking back with pride and emotion.
“The friendships, the stories, the fans — I’ll carry this with me forever,” he wrote. “It’s been an honor to grow with Callen and tell his story. I can’t wait for fans to see how we bring this to a close.”
LL Cool J (Sam Hanna): “It’s more than a show. It’s family.”
