David McCallum’s Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard was one of the emotional anchors of NCIS. From the beginning, he brought wisdom, warmth, and humanity to every case. In his later years, McCallum no longer needed to prove anything. His appearances became selective, yet he continued to return, even when his role required very little screen time. Behind the scenes, his presence symbolized continuity. Showing up wasn’t about obligation. It was about connection to the people and the work he helped build.
