Wilmer Valderrama has been in NCIS since 2016 as Special Agent Nick Torres. There is no end in sight for his character yet, but the star has already very specific idea for his departure from the series. It should be as theatrical and spectacular as possible.
NCIS star Wilmer Valderrama wants a heroic-tragic ending for his character
Valderrama told TV Insider that he wants a spectacular, heroic death for Nick Torres. He compares his character’s ideal exit to Denzel Washington’s fate in Training Day:
I think, since I’m not a bad guy, of course I’d like to die as a good guy. Somehow, while I’m defending my family, in a storm of bullets. I just see a hail of bullets sweeping over me, while I die heroically, with violins in the backgroundand it’s raining heavily.
