Remembering the NCIS Cast Members We've Lost

The NCIS franchise has been a cornerstone of CBS programming for over two decades, spawning multiple spinoffs and becoming one of the network's most enduring hits.

Across the main series and its spinoff NCIS: Los Angeles, the shows have showcased an impressive roster of talent. Many actors made notable appearances in guest starring and recurring roles that left lasting impressions on audiences.

Tragically, a number of performers who appeared in the NCIS universe have passed away in the years since their time on the series. Their contributions to the franchise remain part of its legacy, and their work continues to be remembered by devoted fans of the procedural drama.

Among those we've lost are Annie Wersching, Cheney Kley, David McCallum, George Clooney, Gregory Itzin, Heath Freeman, Miguel Ferrer, Peter Tuiasosopo, Ralph Waite, Ravil Isyanov, Rene Auberjonois, Sam Sarpong, and Vachik Mangassarian.
