Brian Dietzen shared some exciting news on Tuesday, and huge congratulations are in order! Taking to Twitter, the actor – who plays Dr Jimmy Palmer on NCIS – celebrated the record-breaking response to the crossover event which saw teams from the Washington DC, Hawaii and LA branches come together for a high-stakes investigation. 

After airing on Monday night, the crossover event has already surpassed season highs in audience numbers and it's even resulted in CBS' most-watched Monday since the NCAA men's basketball championship game, which aired in April 2022.
