The stars of NCIS: Los Angeles are celebrating the end of the long-running show!
Original stars LL Cool J, Chris O’Donnell, and Daniela Ruah hit the red carpet with co-stars Eric Christian Olsen, Gerald McRaney, Medalion Rahimi and Caleb Castille for the official wrap party at Paramount Studios on Friday (March 3) in Los Angeles.
It was announced in January that the series would be ending after 14 seasons at CBS, and most of the cast are celebrating the show instead of mourning it.
Speaking with ET recently, LL Cool J opened up about saying goodbye to Sam Hanna.
He shared that the one thing he’ll miss the most is “the way he thinks. They [NCIS agents] have to think strategically. His understanding of military strategy, all of those things, you can’t help but learn it because you’re in it every day. How they approach life. The difference between strategy tactics and operations — all of that helps, but just the humanity, that for me it was just… It’s just a dope character.”
“He’s a very strong, solid character,” LL Cool J added. “I mean, it’s 322 episodes. Pretty good. Not bad. Not bad for a kid from Queens.”
But, is Sam still alive when the show ends?
“No, no. He’s still alive, unless the script says otherwise,” he assures fans. “Sam Hanna is still out here and ready to pull his gun out and preserve democracy.”
The final episode of NCIS: Los Angeles will will air on May 14.
