That is also one of my favorite NCIS episodes. Charles Durning was the perfect choice for the character he played. Charles Durning was a WWII war hero, multiple medals including Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart. What I really liked was how "light" on his feet he was in the scene where he dances with Kate. I looked at Durning's bio and found this: While pursuing an acting career, Durning, a professional ballroom dancer, taught at Fred Astaire Dance Studio in New York City. Wow! Who knew?
