Sean Murray, known for his role as Timothy McGee on NCIS, recently shared a memorable and somewhat painful moment from the show’s history during an episode of the podcast “Off Duty: An NCIS Rewatch,” hosted by Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo. Murray recounted injuring his right thumb while filming a scene for the second season’s episode “Bikini Wax” at a car wash.
The incident occurred because he slipped on his dress shoes while sprinting, which were an unusual choice for the scene. Despite the injury, which left his thumb with limited mobility, Murray joked that being left-handed was fortunate in this instance. The mishap highlights the unpredictable nature of filming and the physical demands placed on actors in action-packed series like NCIS, adding a bittersweet twist to a memorable scene for fans of the long-running show.
