[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for NCIS Season 21 Episode 9 “Prime Cut.”] Turns out Special Agent Nick Torres is a horse whisperer. We spoke with Wilmer Valderrama about his character’s hidden talent, revealed in tonight’s trip-to-Texas episode, and how it relates to the actor’s real life in the latest installment of NCIS: Case Closed, our weekly aftershow. “I’ve been a horse fanatic since I was a little boy. I grew up in Venezuela riding horses my whole life since I was very, very little. So having an opportunity to just get back in the saddle, if you will, was very exciting,” Valderrama told us. It’s just a warm-up for the horsemanship Valderrama’s tackling next. “I’m going to start training for some really complex riding very soon for other things and other dreams of mine, as you can imagine what I’m talking about,” says the actor, who is set to...

Mark Harmon is known for more than his adventures on his television series NCIS. The actor has been recognized for many roles and titles, and even once received the honor of being the Sexiest Man Alive. However, his wife Pam Dawber had a pretty unfavorable opinion of the title.

Harmon found out he was given the title of Sexiest Man Alive the same way most people did. The actor was enjoying an afternoon with his friends when the reveal caught him off guard.
“I’d done an interview with People about leaving St. Elsewhere and I went up to play basketball and both backboards on either side of the court were plastered with the [Sexiest Man Alive] cover,” Harmon said in a 2015 interview with People.

NCIS isn’t going anywhere. More than 450 episodes into its run, the CBS drama about naval criminal investigators hasn’t lost any steam – or the support of the network. The show, which had its 21st season premiere on Feb. 12, isn’t “slowing down anytime soon,” a CBS executive recently promised.
‘NCIS’ is still going strong after 20 seasons (L-r): Brian Dietzen as Jimmy Palmer, Katrina Law as NCIS Special Agent Jessica Knight, Wilmer Valderrama as Nick Torres, Diona Reasonover as Forensic Scientist Kasie Hines, and Gary Cole as FBI Special Agent Alden Parker in ‘NCIS’ Season 21 Episode 2 | Michael Yarish/CBS ©2023 CBS Broadcasting, Inc.

For any show to last 20 seasons is an impressive feat, especially in today’s competitive TV environment. But NCIS has managed to pull it off. The Jag spinoff, which premiered in September 2003 is now one of the longest-running scripted primetime shows in TV history.

Wilmer Valderrama as Nick Torres from the CBS Original Series NCIS — Photo: Art Streiber/CBS ©2023 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Wilmer Valderrama’s big Hollywood breakthrough came on That ’70s Show, but with NCIS, Valderrama has now spent as much time on the CBS crime drama as he did on the flashback sitcom. Playing an NCIS Special Agent on the show has given Valderrama a much greater awareness of what the real-life NCIS agents go through; we’ve spoken to him many times over the course of his run on the show, and he said that his goal on NCIS is to honor the work of the real agents in the field. (Click on the media bar below to hear Wilmer Valderrama) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Wilmer-agenst-ncis-post.mp3 NCIS airs Mondays at 9/8c on CBS and streams the next day on Paramount+.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the NCIS Season 21 premiere “Algún Día.”] Is Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) a murderer? Well, as NCIS shows us in the Season 21 premiere, he would be somewhat justified, given that the man who ends up dead, Maurice Riva (Al Sapienza), made his and his family’s lives a nightmare when they were growing up. But as the episode goes on, it becomes clear that he’s not the one responsible, though he’s protecting the person he thinks is his sister. After all, “someday” was what they’d said as kids … which is why he doesn’t even want her to be his lawyer. And so that’s why TV Insider had to bring in Wilmer Valderrama for our first weekly NCIS aftershow for the CBS drama, NCIS: Case Closed, with our Kate Hahn. “I had this crazy idea that we should send Torres to prison,” Valderrama reveals of the Season 20 finale.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the NCIS Season 21 premiere “Algún Día.”] It looks like NCIS is giving us ample time to prepare for the tribute episode for the late David McCallum and his character, Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard, with the premiere ending with the set-up for it. After the episode focuses on Nick Torres’ (Wilmer Valderrama) situation and how the man he wanted to watch die after the hell he put himself and his family through when he was a kid ended up dead—TV Insider has an aftershow, NCIS: Case Closed, which delves into all of that (with Valderrama this week)—it ends with a call stopping the team just as they’re about to head out to a crime scene. “Woah, woah, woah, slow down,” Alden Parker (Gary Cole) tells Dr. Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen). Then, “Oh my god.” The rest of the team can only hear Parker’s side of the conversation. “What...

For a show to reach double-digit seasons is rare. For one to be going into its 21st is quite the achievement, one that NCIS reaches this year. And it sounds very unlikely that it will be its last. “I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon. It’s a fantastic cast with a fantastic writing staff that’s been there a really long time. They’re just as reenergized today as they were as when I started on the show in Season 8 [as current executive],” CBS‘ Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach told Deadline. “So, as long as they want to keep it going, we’re thrilled to be on the NCIS train. Gary [Cole] and Wilmer [Valderrama] and Sean [Murray] and Katrina [Law], all of them, they love doing the show. So we hope to continue on for quite a while.” At one point, it would’ve been impossible to imagine ...

“Aim for excellence — Brown exellence,” actor-producer Wilmer Valderrama told this year’s graduates of the National Hispanic Media Coalition’s Series Scriptwriters Program as the eight-week intensive came to an end earlier this week.
Valderamma, the “NCIS” and “That ’70s Show” star, is a multihyphenate, activist and entrepreneur and a member of Nhmc’s Visionary Alliance of entertainment industry figures who support the organization in Hollywood. He addressed the 10 participants in the TV and film writing program that includes virtual instruction, networking and mentoring opportunities. Nhmc has run the Series Scriptwriters writer development program for more than 20 years.
“The writers in the program are an answer to the need to increase Latino representation in our writers rooms and make sure we are telling our own stories,” Valderrama told the group on Dec. 19 via video conference. “As we become the majority as the audience, consumers and storytellers, it is more vital...

Wilmer Valderrama had an early start to the week. The NCIS star was up hours before dawn to help announce this year’s Golden Globe nominees alongside president Helen Hoehne and fellow CBS star Cedric the Entertainer. Moments after all the names were announced, Valderrama chatted with The Hollywood Reporter about the difficulty of his duties at the podium, getting back to work after the strike and whether or not he’ll be at the big show on Jan. 7.
As an actor, you’re probably used to early call times …
I am. I’m in the gym at 4:30 a.m. every morning because working out at the end of the day doesn’t work. By the time I get home from work, I’m tired and exhausted. If I get up at 4:30 a.m., I get a running start on the day. It’s pretty intense but, honestly,...

Demi Lovato can keep a secret …especially when it comes to the inspiration behind her song, “Cool For the Summer”.
During a recent interview with “The Howard Stern Show”, the 31-year-old singer opened up about her 2015 hit single, which sent the world buzzing with lyrics about kissing a woman.
The lyrics are up for interpretation, and Lovato won’t be sharing who exactly she’s singing about. However, she did give a hint.
When asked by Stern if it’s about a woman named “Susan,” Lovato laughed, and admitted, “No, it’s not Susan. Sometimes I write songs and just let them be.”
When pressed about if the song is about someone famous, Lovato revealed, “What if it is? Yeah.”
After Stern further prompted her to reveal who “Cool For the Summer” is about, Lovato said that it wouldn’t be right to share, as she herself is currently in a relationship.

Blue Beetle flew into theaters on Friday as the first Latino DC superhero. But the day that should have been a celebration was instead bittersweet for Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, the credited writer of the Warner Bros. release.
Rather than taking in the milestone moment, Dunnet-Alcocer struggled with bittersweet feelings as he found himself on the picket line, waving his sign, outside the very studio that made his movie. At one point he found himself under a massive billboard emblazoned with the faces and logo of Beetle.
“I’m proud and I’m sad. I’m excited and I am afraid,” he told The Hollywood Reporter of the tumult that was brewing inside him.

When That ’70s Show ended, Wilmer Valderrama promised himself not to do the Fez voice again. However, things changed when 17 years later the sitcom got a sequel series on Netflix with That ’90s Show.

Will you be open to playing Fez again?'” Valderrama said during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show. “And I had to really think about it because first and foremost, I was like, ‘Can I still do the voice?'”
That ’70s Show ended in 2006 and Valderrama was ready to move on from the character he played on the Fox sitcom for 8 seasons adding, “I had sworn and literally promised myself that I would never...

With the spinoff recently debuting on Netflix, fans are going back and streaming early episodes of the TV sitcom, That ’70s Show.

Given the show’s focus on drugs and rebellious teenage acts, minor run-ins with the law likely wouldn’t bother its audience. But some of these aren’t your ordinary controversies. Masterson isn’t the only star from That ’70s Show who’s undergone a scandal.
