11:03, Jennifer: How much of you is in Tony??? It seems to be a pretty natural role.. Are you alike?
11:04, Michael Weatherly: interestingly  I feel very much like Dinozzo some days and other days I wish he would go be somebody else.   But I love him cause he is a toostie pop of a character.   Candy coated outside with a nice chocolately center (or possibly gum)


11:04, Guest: Would you ever consider doing a duet with Cote?
11:04, Michael Weatherly: I would love to but I am not sure she could get through the first verse without punching me in the head


11:05, X5-720: What was the inspiration for the song Bitter and Blue?
11:06, Michael Weatherly: Bitter and Blue was written during the first season of NCIS 2003 after I moved into an apartment and started writing songs for the first time in a couple of years. Not toput too fine of a point on it I was Bitter and I was Blue but not neccessarily in that order and gloomy

11:06, Melanie: Are there any changes to your character that you personally would like to see happen?

11:07, Guest: Hello from Texas! LOVE your show! What character would YOU like Tony to hook up with??
11:08, Michael Weatherly: That is a very good question.   I would say…McGee…no! Let’s say Palmer…no! Wait! Ducky would get angry. How about that really cute extra – wait my wife is in the kitchen and she heard that.   I would like to hook-up with whomever the writer’s hook me up with.   Safe answer.

11:14, Patti: who would you like to have show up as a celebrity guest on the show?
11: 14, Michael Weatherly: I would love to have Cesar Milan to se eif he would be the Alpha or if Gibbs would be the Alpha. And I think Cesar Milan should be in the NCIS K-9 episode

11:15, bitterroots: there’s a spin-off for ya: NCIS: K-9
11: 15, Michael Weatherly: Let me be the first to cast my vote for an NCIS K-9 spin-off.   McGee has gone to the dogs.
“Special Agent McGee, kicked out of NCIS, becomes a professional dog-walker but still solves crimes on the sly.”

11:15, julie: What was the best prank you pulled on Mark? And him on you?

11: 19, Michael Weatherly: Favorite movie. That is tough. I do love Lawrence of Arabia.   But  I just watched  Z which is a film by Costa Gavras – my wife and I watched it the other night and we loved it. Is that nerdy enough for you?

11:19, Ashley: Do you have any other projects in the works right now?

11: 25, Michael Weatherly: I would like to say that I am impressed by the international collection we have gathered today in this chat. I have traveled around quite a bit doing promotion  for NCIS but clearly I have many places to go.

11:25, Mikaila: How frequently do you ad lib on NCIS?
11: 26, Michael Weatherly: As far as ad libs go I am an uncontrolable ad-libber.   It is like a psyndrome.   I am sure it is amussing to the editors but sometimes the cast wants to kill me.   However, I shall continue to ad-lib as long as the character Anthony Dinozzo resides at desk #2 in the squad room.

11:27, Michael Weatherly: I should apologize I am drinking this morning so my spelling is tsibewa
