katikat | Jesse Stern about Michael Weatherly/Tony Dinozzo

What Jesse Stern, NCIS' writer, had to say about Michael Weatherly and Tony Dinozzo:

Weatherly and I talked a bunch about what DiNozzo's apartment looks like. It might be slightly odder than you'd think, link.

Favorite Tony ep I had nothing to do with is "Frame-Up." Favorite Tony ep I've written is "Truth or Consequences," link.

I love writing Tony. More than any other character, bits of conversation between Weatherly and me become dialogue, link.

Weatherly frequently comes up with jokes at the table read or rehearsal that make it into the show. McFlea was his this week, link.

Very confident about MW's ability to direct. He has amazing awareness of what other departments are doing while he's acting... link --> yes, Michael Weatherly will be directing an ep written by Jesse Stern this season *cheers*
