“This is all just a setup,” says Pauley Perrette, walking into the NCIS writers’ room north of Los Angeles. Michael Weatherly fatalistically adds: “This is where we all…” Brian Dietzen finishes the thought: “…meet our end.”

Not bloody likely. Sure, the series did off a couple major characters in the first five seasons (RIP, Lauren Holly’s Jenny), and some significant recurring characters have met their makers in the five years since (Mike Franks, we hardly knew ye!). But the chances of any of these eight diehards going down anytime before the show ends its run are about the same as the odds of Gibbs cracking a sustained smile.

Speaking of which: When we gathered all eight regular cast members of TV’s No. 1 drama for a historic summit, their fearless leader, Mark Harmon, was largely the quiet man out. When his colleagues finally called him on his reticence, he swore he was having too good a time listening to everyone else’s banter. As you read this unprecedented full-cast gabfest, you’ll know exactly what he means.

TV Guide Magazine: How often are all eight of you in the same room?
David McCallum: Table reads, every 10 days.

TV Guide Magazine: Have there been any scenes in which you’ve all been together at once?
McCallum: When Ziva became a U.S. citizen.
Pauley Perrette: Everybody wasn’t there. Michael wasn’t. But for Jenny’s funeral, we were.
McCallum: And that was the last episode of…
Michael Weatherly: Season 5.
McCallum: How do you know that?
Weatherly: Because when she died at the end of Season 5, that’s when we got the Rocket Man.[Points to Rocky Carroll.]

TV Guide Magazine: There have been no major cast changes lately — unless we count Brian Dietzen finally getting bumped up to the main credits after 10 years. [The group applauds.]
Dietzen: I’ve gotten congratulated so often in the last few weeks, and it’s a great recognition. But I’ve never been made to feel like anything but a full cast member for the last decade.
Perrette: It’s a lot easier on the rest of us, too, because people are hollering at me, “Why isn’t he in the opening credits?” “I don’t have anything to do with that — I don’t know!”
Dietzen: When I first did the show, I was supposed to do one day. So I thought, “I’ll wear glasses, hunch over and stammer a bit. I don’t have anything like that on my reel, so that’d be cool!”
Mark Harmon: I remember early on, maybe on the second day, David saying to you, “You come with me downtown to autopsy,” and you going, “All right, I’m there!” I remember right then thinking, “Okay, this is gonna work.”
Dietzen: I spent a lot of that time staring at my shoes and concentrating on not throwing up.

TV Guide Magazine: Do you prefer the stand-alone episodes or the ones that get into a lot of mythology and long-term storytelling?
Perrette, Weatherly and Dietzen: [Almost in unison] Stand-alone.
Sean Murray: Yeah, me too.
Cote De Pablo: Long-term storytelling! You get invested and you want to see the next one, and they get into a lot of character stuff and complex conflict.
Perrette: I sit around and watch the marathons on USA all the time, of course. So if [the multipart episodes] are not in the order of how they first aired, then I’m afraid it’s gonna confuse people.
Weatherly: That’s a very network-executive thing to say. Maybe I’m just incredibly conventional and conservative, but I get very lost in the two-parters. I’m like, where are we? What the hell is going on? Why do I feel like crying? [Laughs]
Perrette: No matter if it’s a one-parter or multiparter, the arc of the show is these characters.
McCallum: The scary part of that is, I find that Ducky and David have combined… [Everyone laughs] No, I’m serious about this. Has it happened to you guys, that your characters influence your own life?
De Pablo: Absolutely. I was saying goodbye to one of my best friends today, and she said, “Give me a hug,” and I gave her a hug like this. [Mimes a half-hearted back pat.] She was like, “No, I need a real hug!” And I gave her a huge hug. I’ve been playing this character that’s not [touchy-feely], and I find myself catching little things that are not me.
Weatherly: The distance between how I feel when I’m in that squad room and when I go home is so different now that I am keenly aware how consistent I used to be. Where work ended and life began was a very fuzzy line for me. And now I think it’s demarcated quite clearly. I’ve already spoken too much. [Laughs]
Perrette: It’s imperative to my survival and my life that the two never fade into each other at any time. Because especially in the past 10 years, I’ve dealt with so many horrific personal struggles that my escape is playing Abby. I put the ponytails in, and it’s like, “Abby doesn’t have that problem.” So literally, for Pauley’s own survival, I have to keep Abby completely separate. Because if I don’t, I have no place to hide. All of my freedom lives in Abby.
Weatherly: It is fun, still, right? People ask, “Are you tired of it? It’s a decade. Do you want to do something else?”
McCallum: I have fun every minute of the day.
Weatherly: [To Carroll] Do you ever bring Leon home?
Perrette: Yeah, your character is so different from your real personality.
Rocky Carroll: No, it doesn’t really work at home. You know that shopping cart with the wheels that lock when you take it past the yellow line in the parking lot? That’s kind of what it’s like.

TV Guide Magazine: I was going to ask who’s least like his or her character, and it sounds like the consensus answer is Rocky.
McCallum: And also Jimmy Palmer and Brian. Brian’s not a blithering idiot.
Dietzen: I’m not?
Perrette: [To Weatherly] I get asked about you all the time—
Weatherly: I’m much thinner in person.
Perrette: When people early on knew we were really good friends off-set, especially women would holler at me, “How can you be friends with him? He’s such a misogynist. I don’t know how you can hang out with that guy.” I’m like, “Do you mean Michael Weatherly? Because he’s actually not DiNozzo in real life.”
Weatherly: Although I have to say, it’s kind of fun to play a total dinosaur in terms of sexual politics, somebody who doesn’t give a flying f—-. The shallow end of the philosophical pool is obviously where Tony paddles around.
De Pablo: However, I have to say this, because my character has feelings for you—
Weatherly: I’m sorry.
De Pablo: No, there’s something deeper about that character. We always talk about the superficial element and the things that make us laugh. But he wouldn’t be doing what he does if he wasn’t really good at it. It’s a complex character, and that’s why people love it.
Weatherly: I’ve been really happy about Season 10. I don’t know how everyone else feels about it.
De Pablo: Ducky’s alive.
Weatherly: That’s a bonus. And I had a great time watching McGee after he got the initial gut blast with the window shard. I don’t know if this is by design or something you and [executive producer Gary] Glasberg cooked up, but I’ll ask anyway. It feels like there’s a little bit of a new wind in the sail. Do you feel that at all?
Murray: Yeah, I think McGee’s toughened up a little bit.
De Pablo: Mark, do you want to say something? [Much laughter over Harmon’s silence]
Harmon: No, I love listening to everybody! You’ve got all these excited people at this table. These guys have all done more than 100 shows, and they’re every bit as motivated as they were in the beginning, and in some cases more so.
De Pablo: It doesn’t come without work, though.
Weatherly: Talking?
De Pablo: Making it good.
Harmon: I just think you can’t forget how hard everybody worked to get here. Most of the time, shows don’t work. If you don’t appreciate this ride… But it wasn’t always a ride. I’m so clear about how we’ve earned this. I’m not confused at all. And I’m not confused about what it’s gonna take to stay here. I don’t think anybody at this table is. I mean, shows all end at some point. But right now, there’s no end in sight for this one.

Is NCIS big enough for two Leroy Jethros?

On Tuesday’s episode (8/7c, CBS), we may just find out. During the hour, aptly titled “The Namesake,” Gibbs (Mark Harmon) will once again cross paths with Leroy Jethro Moore (guest star Billy Dee Williams), the man after whom Gibbs was named.

“Leroy Jethro Moore is a World War II Marine veteran who received a distinguished Medal of Honor,” Williams tells TVGuide.com of his character. “I think he was one of the first to receive that honor. He’s an old friend of Gibbs’ father, and they have not seen each other for a long time. A particular incident brings us together and we begin to review our friendship and our lives together 30 years prior.”

That incident involves the elder Leroy Jethro — thankfully nicknamed L.J. — pawning his Medal of Honor. “He basically tries to sell the Medal of Honor to pay for something that he cares about,” executive producer Gary Glasberg says. “Because he’s not an egotistical man, it doesn’t mean anything to him. Gibbs comes across the medal, and of course it’s illegal to sell a Medal of Honor. So he takes it and then ultimately gives it back to him.”

For Gibbs, it’s an interesting chance to reunite with a man who was a major influence on him. “L.J. was a presence in young Gibbs’ life,” Glasberg says. “He was a former Marine, and that certainly influenced our Leroy Jethro Gibbs to make the decision to become a Marine. This was a man he looked up to, in addition to his father. I think there’s absolutely a connection and an appreciation for what L.J. did when he was younger.”

Unfortunately, the same can’t be said of the relationship between L.J. and Jackson Gibbs (Ralph Waite), whose former friendship has been on the rocks for some time. “There’s a story element that comes into play that sort of drove them apart,” Glasberg says. “It comes from a place of [Jackson’s] stubbornness. Ultimately, it’s Gibbs’ responsibility to get them back together again.”

And in doing so, Gibbs will stumble upon some (potentially troubling) old emotions. “It’s a very interesting reunion,” Williams says. “They were very close friends in a very special way. It’s pretty visceral, pretty deep —and very touching actually.”

Adds Glasberg: “[There’s] a connection to Gibbs’ mom as well, and what their friendship and their relationship was all about. … I think it definitely gives you some insight into the Gibbs psyche. Anything that we can learn about Gibbs as a child, about what his home life was like, about the people who helped raise him — I think it all adds to the understanding of who Leroy Jethro Gibbs is.”

NCIS airs Tuesdays at 8/7 on CBS.

This Tuesday on NCIS (CBS, 8/7c), the discovery of a petty officer’s dead body in a billionaire’s Ferrari leads somewhere most unexpected: to the man after whom Leroy Jethro Gibbs was named.

Played by guest star Billy Dee Williams (Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back), Leroy Jethro Moore is a World War II veteran who a complicated past with Gibbs’ father Jackson (returning player Ralph Waite).

“There’s something that happened in Leroy Jethro [Moore]‘s background that doesn’t specifically connect to the case but connects to a Medal of Honor that he bestowed,” previews showrunner Gary Glasberg.

As the original Leroy Jethro comes face to face with his NCIS agent namesake, “It sort of gets us back into the [Gibbs] family relationship and a falling out that happened with him and Ralph Waite’s character,” says Glasberg. “Gibbs sort of acts as intermediary, to sort of reconnect the two men.”

Though things may be strained now between Jackson and his old friend, Glasberg promises that viewers will nonetheless get to appreciate the closeness they once shared that led to our Gibbs being dubbed as he was.

“The interaction between Ralph Waite and Billy Dee and Mark [Harmon] is just fantastic. You totally buy the idea that this is a man that had a friendship [with Jackson] that came before Gibbs was even born, that this is the man that his parents chose to name him after,” Glasberg raves. “Billy Dee did a fantastic job, and I’m so happy with the way that it came out.”

Question: So we’ve all heard it’s the “Year of Tiva” on NCIS, but what about my other favorite duo, Abby and McGee? Anything new on them? —Alyssa
Ausiello:
McGee’s gonna have some ‘splainin to do when he’s caught in a compromising situation with (drumroll please… ) Diane Sterling, aka the communal ex-wife of both Gibbs and Fornell! As exec producer Gary Glasberg explains, Melinda McGraw will reprise her role in December, and “This time she not only has to work undercover with them, she has to spend the night with Special Agent Tim McGee as well. Amidst the chaos, Gibbs and Fornell find their ex asleep on the sofa with Tim. In the words of one of my favorite films, ‘Ex Mrs. Boss, are you trying to seduce me?!’ You’ll have to wait and see what McGee has gotten himself into.”

Another woman of substance is about to enter Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ orbit on CBS’ NCIS — and what’s more, he’s going to need her badly. ER and Doctor Who vet Alex Kingston has been cast in a November sweeps episode of TV’s most watched drama series as Miranda Pennebaker, a “woman of questionable morals,” series boss Gary Glasberg tells TVLine exclusively.

Pennebaker, Glasberg previews, “deals in everything from high end weapons sales to priceless gems. Her connections go all the way up the ladder of D.C. politics, and Gibbs needs her for this very disturbing, emotional case.” In fact, Kingston’s character proves so valuable, she is already being eyed for an encore. ” I’m a huge fan of Alex’s and she embodies everything I hoped for from this character,” says Glasberg. “Heck, you might even see her again.”

In addition to her runs as Doctor Who‘s River Song (who resurfaced just last Friday) and ER‘s Dr. Corday, Kingston’s TV credits include Upstairs, Downstairs, Law & Order: SVU, Private Practice and FlashForward. NCIS of course airs Tuesday at 8/7c, where this week it repeated as the night’s most watched and highest-rated program.

Harper Dearing may be gone, but his terrorist treachery will not soon be forgotten by Gibbs and members of his NCIS team.

In the CBS drama’s Season 10 premiere, Gibbs (played by Mark Harmon) met up with Dearing for a tête-à-tête that was as intense was it was inevitable. “I knew I needed to get them alone, and I think we found an interesting way of doing it,” reflects showrunner Gary Glasberg. “If you go back and look at it, Mark only says one word in that entire scene. And you can only do something like that when you’re dealing with actors like Richard Schiff and Mark Harmon.” Instead, Gibbs let his trusty knife do the talking, with a kill that was extremely up-close and personal — and likely expected, perhaps even counted on, by the man who wound up on the business end of it. “When Harper Dearing reached for his gun… interpret that as you will,” says Glasberg. “I think he knew exactly what was going to happen, from the minute Gibbs walked in.”

That Gibbs vanquished the Big Bad who put his “family” at risk, and that he did so in such an intimate way, will have his team keeping an eye on the boss man. Says Michael Weatherly, “The rest of us are watching Gibbs closely, throughout the whole season, because he seems to be identifying with victims and also assailants, and that is new to us. “I think it started with Dr. Ryan (played by Jamie Lee Curtis) last year, when we were all looking at Gibbs, going, ‘What’s he doing?! You don’t get involved with a brain-gamer from the Defense Department!’” Weatherly recalls. “We thought, ‘He must be up to something.’ He wasn’t, so there’s concern for Gibbs. But I think Gibbs is doing work on himself. And Mark is such a great actor, you can really watch him plumb some new depths this year. That’s why I keep saying this is going to be the best season ever. It really feels like there’s a momentum.”

In this Tuesday’s episode (airing at 8/7c), a crisis counselor (played by Crossing Jordan‘s Steve Valentine) will take stock of the Navy yard explosion’s survivors, one of which has been plagued by nightmares. “Abby is the sensitive one — she feels the most pain and worries about everyone — so she’s really, really shaken up,” says portrayer Pauley Perrette. “There are some pretty amazing scenes between Abby and Steve Valentine’s character, where we’re trying to do the work. That also sort of leads into Abby being reunited with her brother (Daniel Louis Rivas) for some healing.”

Similarly, Perrette says that Abby’s BFF Carol (played by the actress’ own BFF, Meredith Eaton) likely will resurface this season. But in the end, those the forensic whiz can truly lean on are those she works with every day. “Of course, her family is the NCIS family,” Perrette reminds. “Everybody’s just trying to help each other out and mourn and move on.”

Following NCIS’ season-ending explosion at the Navy yard, Gibbs & Co. will start the new season a little worse for wear.

“There’s a theme that’s evolved this season and I call it ‘Fallen Heroes,'” executive producer Gary Glasberg tells TVGuide.com. “We’ve got these people who’ve been knocked down and they have to pick themselves up again.”

Although (needless spoiler alert!) most of the team makes it out with only a few cuts and bruises, the emotional and psychological scars of terrorist Harper Dearing’s attack on the NCIS headquarters will be examined throughout the season as each character deals in his or her own way. Gibbs (Mark Harmon) begins a new project in his basement. Abby (Pauley Perrette) will seek out her brother. Tony (Michael Weatherly) will reflect on his time with his mother. And Ducky (David McCallum), who had a heart attack upon hearing the news of the bombing, has to contend with his increasing age.

“It’s an eye-opening experience for him,” Glasberg says. “He’s going look at death a little differently now, and that’s interesting for a medical examiner. … Ducky really has to step back while he heals from what he’s been through. Palmer [Brian Dietzen] has to step forward and their relationship is tested and is strengthened.”

Meanwhile team members Tony and Ziva (Cote de Pablo) may turn to each other in dealing with their feelings about the attack, especially while the two are locked in an elevator during the fallout. “Cote and Michael are very excited about the idea of pushing the Tony-Ziva relationship further this year, and we’re excited about playing along,” Glasberg teases. “We’re spooning it out little by little, and it’s little moments that are the most satisfying. We’re in our 10th season and happy to let things take a step further.”

Of course, the premiere won’t just feature the characters moping around in their sadness. Gibbs takes the attack personally, and it won’t be long before he goes looking for a fight with Harper Dearing (guest star Richard Schiff).

“The emphasis on family is always present,” Glasberg says. “These people are a cohesive unit and when you mess with that unit, especially from Gibbs’ standpoint as a father figure, there’s going to be trouble. And that’s exactly what Harper Dearing did. It really becomes quite a manhunt and a there’s a tremendous amount of conflict.”

But even if Dearing is brought down, the memory of what he’s done won’t fade. An arc dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder during November sweeps will likely bring many of these emotions back to the forefront. “The beauty of Leroy Jethro Gibbs is that he never forgets,” Glasberg says.

@zoyaroses: Can you give me some spoilers about the early episodes of #NCIS? 🙂 #SpoilerChat
Pauley Perrette talked up the NCIS season premiere so much that we wish we could fast forward to Sept. 25 so we could watch it right now! “We literally bring the audience back with season 10 just moments after [the explosion],” she tells us. “The fans get to live with the characters in the aftermath of that explosion, try to find out who is hurt, who is there, what’s happening. And then even the psychological effects of something that traumatic. It’s quite a ride. It’s fantastic. We’re so excited about it. We can’t wait for the fans to see it.”
