Former NCIS star Michael Weatherly has continued to fuel rumors that he could be returning to the long-running drama with a recent throwback photo.
The actor, who played Tony DiNozzo in the series from 2003 until his departure to 2016, took to Twitter on Monday to share a behind-the-scenes photo from a previous season.

In the picture, the dad-of-three can be seen having an animated conversation with his co-stars Emily Wickersham and Sean Murray, who play Ellie Bishop and Timothy McGee in the series.
Making fun of himself, he wrote in the caption: “‘And that’s the story about how I ended up wearing this tie!‘ (@EmilyWickersham and @SeanHMurray patiently enduring one more in the endless babblefest).”
Fans were quick to comment on the post, questioning whether Michael’s increased activity on social media in recent weeks – and not to mention his previous hints at a reunion with former co-star Cote de Pablo – could mean that he is set to make a comeback sometime soon.
