Michael Weatherly Bio:
Born July 8, 1968 to parents Michael Weatherly, Sr., the millionaire exporter best known for introducing the Swiss Army knife to America, and mother Patricia. Michael was one of six siblings, comfortably raised in Southwest Connecticut’s affluent Fairfield community. When Weatherly announced his plans to quit his last year of college to pursue an acting career, his father threatened to disinherit him completely. When his son willfully accepted the condition, Weatherly, Sr. kept his word, but acknowledged his son’s conviction for acting. Armed with his father’s blessing, if not his financial protection, Weatherly finally began his career in earnest. Within a year, he landed his very first screen role – a small, but memorable debut in the penultimate episode of the long-running NBC comedy, “The Cosby Show” (NBC, 1984-1992) as Theo Huxtable’s new roommate at NYU.
In 2000, the actor was cast to co-star in “Dark Angel,” a sexy, new high-concept action-drama from director James Cameron. Cast as Logan Cale, a paraplegic leader of an underground resistance movement, it was Weatherly’s most prominent role to date. The show’s star was Jessica Alba, a striking young newcomer starring in her first major role. Though 12 years his junior, Weatherly and Alba promptly fell in love during the filming of the pilot. The two were eventually engaged and would continue their relationship for most of the show’s run – a union that delighted both the fans and the press.

Following the demise of his show and his noteworthy relationship with Alba, things did not bode well for the actor at this delicate time. Yet, once again, Weatherly weathered his personal and professional setbacks, finding the next big thing on the horizon. Hired for a two-episode stint in 2003 on the military law drama, “J.A.G.” (CBS, 1995-2005), the story arc basically served as a springboard for a “J.A.G.” spin-off. Introduced as the playful, wisecracking hunk Agent Anthony DiNozzo, Weatherly and fellow guest star Mark Harmon established themselves and paved the way for the new show, which kicked off the following fall, entitled “NCIS” (aka “Naval Criminal Investigative Service”) (CBS, 2003- ). “NCIS” premiered strongly, thanks to the built-in audience it inherited from “J.A.G.” Not only did “NCIS” manage to maintain almost all of the old “J.A.G.” audience, it actually built on it, surpassing its predecessor in popularity.

In 2006, Weatherly began his third season on “NCIS.” Already his longest running gig, the show’s consistently high ratings implied that the actor may have scored his first truly steady gig of his career thus far.
