The news comes after rumors of behind-the-scenes tension, with sources claiming a feud may have played a role in his decision. While Dietzen has always been a fan favorite, recent reports suggest that disagreements with a co-star or production staff may have influenced his choice to step away.

Insiders say that the long-running procedural has seen its fair share of on-set drama, and Dietzen may have finally reached his breaking point.

Some believe creative differences over his character’s future played a part, while others suggest personal tensions with a cast member may be to blame.

Fans are divided over the potential departure, with many expressing disappointment at the idea of losing such a beloved character. However, some are hopeful that Dietzen’s exit won’t be permanent and that he may return in the future. For now, NCIS viewers are anxiously waiting for an official confirmation—and to see how the show will handle Jimmy Palmer’s possible farewell.
