As part of a special tribute to the late David McCallum, Adam Campbell will reprise his role as Young Ducky in an episode of NCIS: Origins this fall on CBS.
In the episode titled “The Edge,” Ducky is sent to Camp Pendleton to shadow the team while they work a case and, in the process, he reconnects with Gibbs after the two crossed paths years earlier. McCallum’s iconic song “The Edge” will also be featured in the episode.
Campbell previously played the younger version of McCallum’s character Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard in several episodes of NCIS. This will mark his first appearance as Young Ducky on NCIS: Origins.
“We wanted to do this episode to honor the memory of our dear friend David McCallum,” said co-showrunners and executive producers Gina Lucita Monreal & David J. North
