To best pay tribute to the late David McCallum, who portrayed Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard for 20 seasons on NCIS, the show faces two possible routes.
The first option is to have Ducky’s character continue to live an idyllic, off-camera life, much like Leslie Jordan’s character on “Call Me Kat.” This would maintain the character’s legacy while respecting the actor’s absence.
The second, more emotional route would involve giving Ducky a heartfelt sendoff. In this case, various faces from the show’s past could return to pay their last respects.
Which route should NCIS take to honor David McCallum’s memory? Share your thoughts in the poll below.
