Sorry, it was a funny suggestion, but I still gotta say no to that and Tom Selleck. As awesome as it would be to see him as DiNozzo Sr. he really is too young. And by the way, we stilll haven't seen any Abby background. Am I the only one realizing that or what?" I agree it would be fun for them to a some of Abby's back ground, we know shes from new orleans area, but what else? Post reply Do you find this valuable?
nanadoftwo	42. RE: Tony's Father Oct 24 2009, 11:51 PM EDT "You're right ! I forgot him ! It could be great ! "Don't call me junior !" ... Terrific !!! :)" I hate to say this but Sean Connery is a wee bit old to be playing Tonys daddy, perhaps his Granddaddy would be better, Its in the blood line! Post reply Do you find this valuable?
nanadoftwo	43. RE: Tony's Father Oct 24 2009, 11:54 PM EDT "My husband just added: What about Robert Vaughn as an old forensic scientist who worked with Ducky before? Man from UNCLE lives again! and yet he would laugh!!" That would be too funny, having robert Vaughn show up as an old college forensic buddy to ducky, that would be great, they could share stories while working a case together. that would drive Gibbs nuts!!!!!

nanadoftwo	44. RE: Tony's Father Oct 24 2009, 11:57 PM EDT "I'm thinkin' either Wagner or Vaughn. Vaughn's always been able to play bastards which DiNozzo Sr. seems to be." Sean Connery as the Grandfather and Robert Wagner as the father, the 3 of them together would be just great. All them with thier playboy attitudes and comic relief would be a hoot!!!

Calabashe	45. RE: Tony's Father Oct 25 2009, 1:20 AM EDT \| Post edited: Oct 25 2009, 1:23 AM EDT Sean Connery as an elder Italian? I don't see it. Belisario tribute aside, I think RJ (Wagner) most LOOKS the part and shares style with Weatherly. Some of DiNozzo's background comes from Weatherly who is from a well to do Connecticut (Fairfield) family that cut him off for choosing an acting career. Hard to say if the elder DiNozzo was a bastard or just a dick. I suspect the latter. I suspect in this case the acorn didn't fall too far from the tree and likely Tony suffers from too much (and many) moms and not enough Dad, as someone suggested. That's the big void or conflict. I suspect, like Gibbs, Daddy Dinozzo could freeze Tony up with a stare or a shout but unlike Gibbs Daddy didn't give the praise that Tony needed growing up. Tony is definitely straight and still a bit of a frat boy even at 40, although the experience with Jeanne tempered that some. Still having watched his Dad, and Gibbs' experiences with wives, Tony is not likely to buy the cow, so to speak, at least as long as he can still get the milk for free. Ziva is almost a female version of Tony so there is a closeness and understanding. A bond - but more brother and sister than potential lovers. With the Rifkin rift, there likely was personal concern but Tony's actions were professional and not motivated by jealousy. Just me doing my Nate or rather Ducky on this site.

I think it'd also be fun for RJ to be there just because Weatherly got to play him in "THe Mystery of Natalie Wood" as someone mentioned before. Plus it'd be fun to talk a little more about the family fortune, though Tony's no longer a part of it. And as previously stated, I do think a lot of Tony's views toward women come from Daddy dearest and possibly Gibbs' track record. As much as it is a bother/sister relationship, I would still like to see a Tiva moment, at least. Thats all for now. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

In my mind, Abby's parents are eccentric. Something like Dharma's parents? Abby's from NOLA, and so's Pauley. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Partly because I am learning ASL (American Sign Language) and want to see Abby and Gibbs sign some more. I think an Abby family story line would be great. They can go to New Orleans! But maybe that's a whole other thread for our discussion. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

No Sean Connery would be Tonys Maternal Grandfather with issues towards tonys Father even though they are alike, after all women often marry men who are like their fathers, it would be a love hate relationship sense they are so much alike, it is still in the blood line.

AndrewHines	51. RE: Tony's Father Oct 26 2009, 5:57 AM EDT "Sex with your sister? ... Well maybe YOUR sister .... but with MY sister? EEEWWW!!!! I'd rather have sex with McGee! LOL" I actually meant if it wasn't a brother/sister thing. Now as for Connery, I think where (well I'm not sure who) was going with that was on the right track. So is Hicksi, though did you just make a Dharma & Greg reference? Well played my friend, anyway it would be awesome if they were as weird as she was. And maybe they're even as redneck as I'm thinkin' they are which would be a nice change of pace from the rest of the crowd. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

(Atlanta here) Can we work in Nicolas Cage too? ... on the father's second wife's first husband's side? Yes - I'm being silly." Hi, Calabashe. Silly, maybe. Creative, of course! (I can't see Roseanne on this show, really, but fantasy is great.) My son-in-law watches NCIS, too. But he says he can figure out who the murderer will be -- the guest star is the murderer. I don't think NCIS is that style (ala Murder, She Wrote and Colombo). I dont' think NCIS needs a special guest star every week like that, and it would be too predictable and "formula" writing to do that. This writing team is too good for that!!! A guest star is needed for Tony's Dad, but I don't want Tony's Dad to be a murderer. Maybe Tony's Dad is a rich investor, but with Wall Street shenanigans, with the off-shore accounts. Not a Mafia capo, but not squeaky clean either. He has something to hide, but it isn't murder. How did the family get so rich years ago? He gets in over his head somehow, and he ends up a suspect, OK. Put him in the box with Gibbs, but Gibbs can't break him. But Tony can!! Oooh, I just thought of that one. I don't want to damage Tony's psyche more than it is. Maybe he gains some insight into Dad, and that makes Dad reveal something that helps break the case against another suspect. So Tony's self-esteem goes up, maybe he gets grudging support from Dad (at least some thanks for not making him the murderer). The team understands and respects Tony more after seeing his Dad (very charming, great style, but less mature, much more selfish, shallow, etc.). Tony turned out OK in spite of Dad, we know. Now we know Dad a little better, to understand them both. Gotta go do my ASL homework. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

JenniMiki	57. RE: Tony's Father Oct 28 2009, 10:40 AM EDT I think Robert Wagner would be a great Mr. DiNozzo. Sean Connery is not only too old, but he also has retired, from what I've understood. Not to mention that I can't see Connery as an Italian. :D I'm trying to think of OTHER options. I think I'd much rather see a new actor who personifies the idea of Tony's dad than just to pull someone because of references to shows (i.e. Tom Selleck). If they ever DO bring in Anthony Sr., I feel he should be a serious man who has no appreciation for Tony's sense of humor. And like someone mentioned before, I wouldn't want him to have murder in his past. It's been done too much on shows. Having him simply be a jerk with no appreciation for the life his son has chosen would be good. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
imatwin247	58. RE: Tony's Father Oct 28 2009, 10:51 AM EDT i dont think connery would play a good a father of tony's. i dont think they're alike.. well at least looks. tony is too tan, has blue eyes.. connery doesnt. and connery thinks that women should be beaten and/or hit time to time because they need to know their place. tony ( and possibly michael) does not agree with this at all. (connery actually said this in an interview with barbra walters). Post reply 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
fishergrl78	59. RE: Tony's Father Oct 28 2009, 11:11 AM EDT I was being funny when I mentioned SC-i mean Tony quotes him enough. I actually suggested Al Pacino but then again he probably wouldn't make a good ITALIAN either.... I don't see Tony or Michael for that matter that would ever lay a hand on a woman in that way (so i agree with that). That's too bad that Connery thinks that-it's unfortunate.
