Art Imitates Life as Robert Wagner Guest Stars as Murder Suspect on NCIS

Okay, so the circumstances surrounding Natalie Wood’s death were already way creepy, and the fact that the case was reopened last week after nearly thirty years to the date of her murder ahem, demise was certainly intriguing too. But now that Wood’s murderer ahem, widower is going to appear on NCIS as a murder suspect airing tonight — well, that’s just hitting a leeeeetle too close to home, doncha think?

Even if Robert Wagner didn’t do it, you’d think the guy would steer clear of any roles that might remind the public of what it’s still entirely possible, even after thirty years, that he might actually have done. Especially since that boat captain is finally getting somebody to listen to him and he didn’t even have to boil a rabbit to get attention.

I won’t be ignored, Dan.

There’s been no word from police on why they’ve reopened the investigation but supposedly Wagner isn’t a suspect, which I guess would free him up to play any role he chooses. Work’s work and times are tough, even in Hollywood. Do what you gotta do, Bobby. I just don’t want to watch.

    Too bad they didn’t get Chris Walken to co-guest-star.

    I’m sure the episode was filmed and scheduled long before the case was re-opened, but the timing is very unfortunate. (NCIS aired an episode where some bodies got lost a day or so before the incidents of the misplaced bodies at Dover Air Base came to light, so maybe they’ve got some strange predictive mojo going on in the writer’s room.)

      The timing is purely coincidental, so says my skeptical side. But even if the case weren’t being reopened, the ick factor is still in effect for me.
