NCIS LA’s Eric Christian Olsen stole iconic Deeks prop from set after ‘beautiful’ finale
Eric Christian Olsen is wrapping up his time as Agent Marty Deeks on the NCIS: Los Angeles team in an action-packed finale airing tonight on CBS.
NCIS: Los Angeles star Eric Christian Olsen revealed he may have stolen an iconic piece of Marty Deeks’ wardrobe when he was done filming the 14th and final season.
The hit CBS spin-off came to an end on Sunday night with the second half of its high-stakes finale, entitled New Beginnings.
In this action-packed two-parter, the task force is on one last case to track down rogue ATF agents and a stockpile of stolen weapons.
Meanwhile, G Callen (played by Chris O’Donnell) and Anna Kolcheck (Bar Paly) wrapped up the series with an impromptu wedding, but there was still time for the cast to grab some mementos.
When asked what he took from the set, Olsen revealed: “I stole my Jordans.”
However, the actor seemed unsure if he could confirm the theft for fear of getting in trouble with CBS execs.
“Just kidding,” he added. “(Not kidding). Don’t tell CBS. How many people read this?”
Deeks is rarely seen not wearing a pair of the iconic Nike trainers, so Olsen had plenty to choose from.
Plus, the star’s souvenirs paled in comparison to what hip-hop legend LL Cool J took from his time as Agent Sam Hanna.
“I took my Hanna bulletproof vest with the knife in it, my holster, a chair, a couple of little knickknacks that were on the table in the boathouse,” he told TV Insider.
“I took one of Callen’s shirts because, just seeing Chris [O’Donnell] in that shirt all those years, I wanted to make sure I had that.
“Those things bring special memories, a special vibe, and they’re very meaningful to me.”
Millions of fans will have tuned in for the finale on Sunday, which also revealed Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah) was finally pregnant after years of trying to become parents.
“Playing the end of that arc with Kensi was stunning and beautiful,” Olsen said.
“And it’s what the characters and audience deserve. You’ll understand when you see it. Lots of feels.”
Their marriage and challenging journey to become parents has been one of the highlights of the series over the years and the end of their story certainly disappoint.
Plus, Callen and Hanna received one last note from Hetty Lange (Linda Hunt) which led them to Morocco and a sweet reunion with former Intelligence Analyst Nell Jones (Renée Felice Smith).
NCIS: Los Angeles airs on CBS in the USA.
