NCIS fans tuning into a new episode of CBS’s hit primetime drama on Monday night found themselves left with a bit of an unexpected mystery following the conclusion of the episode. After the team’s latest case was solved and episode 16, “Butterfly Effect” came to a close, fans were greeted by a special dedication which created a lot of interest among fans of the show.
Before the credits began to roll, the long-running crime drama tipped its hat to one Billy Mac with a special dedication to close the episode. “In memory of our dear friend and colleague, Billy Mac. We will miss you,” the dedication card read with a photo of Mac accompanying the sweet message.
If the name Billy Mac did not immediately ring a bell as you finished episode 16 of NCIS season 20, this is likely due to the fact that Mac was not a member of the cast. Instead, he was part of the crew who worked behind the scenes to help create the show we all know and love.
While details are scarce, a social media post from February posted on an NCIS updates account notes that Mac sadly passed away recently. “Billy Mac, a crew member on NCIS, sadly passed away recently. We send our condolences and love to Billy’s family and the NCIS cast & crew,” read the tweet shared on Feb. 25, 2023.The tweet from the NCIS Updates page was accompanied by a photo similar to the one used within the dedication from the March 13 episode as well as a photo of a clapperboard from season 20 which seems to pay tribute to the late Mac.
