Excerpt from TV.Com's Live Q&A w/Michael Weatherly

[hitzusin.livejournal.com]

Yesterday afternoon I attended the Q&A on tv.com with our delicious and talented Michael Weatherly. While I loved watching him respond to the fan's questions, what I enjoyed (and squealed over) the most was his answers to a few of the questions which involve none other than our adorkable Timmy.

Is MW perhaps a secret Tony/Tim shipper?! I don't knooooow ...

Question: What character would YOU like Tony to hook up with?

MW: That is a very good question. I would say...McGee...no! Let's say Palmer...no! Wait! Ducky would get angry. How about that really cute extra - wait my wife is in the kitchen and she heard that. I would like to hook-up with whomever the writer's hook me up with. Safe answer.

Also, this is just plain adorable. Even out of character he still picks on our Timmy!

Question: Who would you like to have show up as a celebrity guest on the show?

MW: I would love to have Cesar Milan to see if he would be the Alpha or if Gibbs would be the Alpha. And I think Cesar Milan should be in the NCIS K-9 episode.

(someone had mentioned there being a K-9 spinoff with NCIS, which prompted MW's response at the end of that answer, and the one below)

MW: Let me be the first to cast my vote for an NCIS K-9 spin-off. McGee has gone to the dogs.

"Special Agent McGee, kicked out of NCIS, becomes a professional dog-walker but still solves crimes on the sly."

Honestly, can he be any more awesome and adorable and totally for Tony/Tim? =P

I only picked out these from the RSS feed I was watching, but I'm sure there's a transcript floating around on one of the comms if anyone is interested in reading the whole thing.

Any comments? ^_~

I swear, there are many times when I'm half convinced he ships it. At least for the lulz. It's fabulousss. Also, the Caesar Milan answer made me lol XD

This is just plain awesome.

Oh yes please, hook up with McGee. Make it official! Bribe the writers! Do whatever it takes for these two characters to realize what we all know. =]

Love the dog-walking bit as well.

Thanks for sharing!!

it was a funny q&a, especially the bits about mcgee. it was too short though, and they didn't even post my question.

anyway, the whole time i was thinking to myself, "is he a secret tony/tim shipper?" ^O^

i didn't know he has a wife now? i mean, i know he has an ex-wife with whom he had a son, but nowhere does it mention he's in a relationship.

Most places seem to say that he is engaged to a Canadian medical student. I'm assuming she is the wife of which he spoke.

YES! I saw this awhile ago. *watches again anyways* It is AWESOME. I love how he slips himself in there.

Even if he's not a Tony/Tim shipper, he seems very open minded, and that in itself is just awesome.

Michael seems like a very open minded guy that feels very comfortable about his sexuality. There are a lot of actors that shy away from things like that but not him.

I loved how he and Sean both were comfortable talking about M/T being love interests. I also watched some videos on youtube when Michael was presenting a Logie in Australia. Two guys were interviewing him and were supposedly going to set him up with a date. They named off three people.....Naomi Robson, Nicki Whelon or Sam Newman. (sorry if the spelling is wrong, but I don't know these actors. Michael picked Sam Newman saying, "Come on, Sam. I like a name that could possibly be a guy." They confirmed that it was. "Alright, I'm good." Michael laughed and gave everyone a thumbs up.

I love when actors and actresses are confident enough with their sexuality that they don't make a big deal about this kind of stuff. Michael happens to be one of them. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he reads the Tony/McGee or Tibbs fanfiction that is all over the web....that is if he knew about it. I think it was only recently that both he and Cote found out about Tiva. lol.

Michael says that he lays awake and worries about what he has said in interviews like....why did I say that?....but I find all his interviews by himself or with his castmates very entertaining. He is charming, witty and you can't help but melt when he smiles. I love and admire him more after every interview so IMO, Michael has nothing to worry about.

"Not excluding myself..."

lol He's just awesome and for the rest of the conversation, it's like Michael's attention was all on him.
