Is Deeks leaving NCIS?

The December 6, 2020 episode of NCIS: Los Angeles shocked viewers as it was revealed that Deeks had been fired.

Showrunner Scott Gemmill has hinted about a dramatic twist in the season.

But fans have found it hard to believe that Deeks was fired from his role.

However, Deeks will still be in upcoming episodes, so it doesn't look like he will be going anywhere soon.

Why did Deeks get fired?

Deeks is an LAPD officer working as a liaison with the NCIS team.

But due to cutbacks, Deeks was told that his role had gone.

At the end of season 12, episode five, Nell told him that his job had been cut and she could do nothing about it.

The previous few episodes had hinted that Deeks might be able to head back to his normal life and carry out his duties.

However, the latest episode came out as a big blow for all the fans and Deeks as he was redundant.

It is believed he lost his job to reflect real-life job cuts within the LAPD.

Who plays Marty Deeks in NCIS?

43-year-old actor Eric Christian Olsen plays Marty.

With the sudden turn of events, fans have been wondering if Eric’s role has come to an end.

However, it so happens that his character still has a part to play in the upcoming episodes.
