when did michael weatherly leave ncis
It's time for Very Special Agent Tony DiNozzo's next assignment: fatherhood. After 13 seasons, Michael Weatherly said goodbye to NCIS in the May 17 finale, and it was a bittersweet sendoff for the beloved character. (Warning, spoilers ahead!) In the hour, Tony not only dealt with Ziva's (Cote de Pablo) death (We're still NOT over this!), but also learning they had a child together, a daughter named Tali.
