NCIS actor Brian Dietzen recently shared delightful photos from his recent vacation with his wife, Kelly, along with an update on the upcoming season of the beloved CBS drama. The actor, known for his role as Dr. Jimmy Palmer, took to Instagram to share snapshots from their Greece getaway.
In the first photo against a stunning ocean backdrop, Brian and Kelly exuded love as the sun set over the island. Brian captioned the photo, “Photo dump from Greece! It was an epic and beautiful journey—a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Santorini, Naxos, and Athens.”
Brian continued to recount their magical vacation, praising the amazing food and sights. He highlighted their experiences, including the magnificent Parthenon, a live orchestra performance at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, and a visit to the Theatre of Dionysus. Naxos became their favorite beach spot, while Santorini provided breathtaking sunsets and the best lunch of the trip.
Expressing gratitude to everyone they met on the journey, Brian concluded the caption with an update on the next season of NCIS, which has yet to commence filming. He humorously mentioned, “And now back to work… eventually? Until then, I’ll be on the picket lines,” referring to the ongoing Hollywood writers’ strike.
Fans flooded the comments section with love for the couple and their holiday, with one noting their happiness, another praising their beauty, and former NCIS co-star Pauley Perrette expressing admiration for Kelly.
Brian and Kelly, married since 2004, share two children—a son and a daughter.
The ongoing Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike has impacted Hollywood, with writers seeking a fair compensation structure, a pay raise, and assurances against the use of artificial intelligence in scriptwriting. As a result of the strike, the start of production on many projects has been halted.
While CBS has not announced a specific premiere date for the upcoming seasons of NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i, both shows are part of the network’s fall 2023 schedule, indicating that reruns will likely air in September. The release date for additional episodes remains uncertain.
