Why Young Ducky On NCIS Looks Familiar

In 2017, Campbell finally landed the leading man role he deserved in the Fey-produced comedy Great News, about an adult mother-daughter duo who work at a cable news channel. The British actor starred as Greg Walsh, the executive producer of The Breakdown, and the potential love interest of the show's leading lady Katie Wendelson (Briga Heelan).

Even though Great News only lasted two seasons, it proved to be a terrific showcase for his talents. As Greg, Campbell got to play a character who was neurotic, wry, and often lovelorn. And thanks to the terrific comedy's inclusion in Netflix's library, it also allowed TV fans around the world a chance to see Campbell at the top of his game.

Above all else, Great News demonstrated that the actor is leading man material, so if CBS ever decides to actually make an NCIS prequel happen, the show would be in good hands with Campbell starring as the young Ducky.
