The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes continue, leaving Hollywood in a standstill as several writers and actors take to the picket lines.
The stars of the long-running CBS crime procedural, NCIS, have been actively present on the frontlines, with leads across the franchise like Daniela Ruah, Vanessa Lachey, Brian Dietzen and more frequently showing up to provide support.
Another active participant is Sean Murray, 45, who plays Special Agent Timothy McGee and has frequently been vocal about the strikes and negotiations over better working conditions and compensation.
While production on NCIS remains paused, thereby delaying the premiere of season 21, Sean shared a peek at one of his favorite pastimes at home.
"My new favorite toy :)," he wrote alongside a photo of a state of the art sound design system, a Perkons HD-01, all lit up and ready to go. In one of his hashtags, he even called himself a "gear nerd."

"Two years later, in 2003 I was cast as a one-day guest star on a project that would change my life. This little spin-off of the show JAG needed someone to play an assistant medical examiner opposite the legend David McCallum," he continued, further crediting the union for providing him with medical care and residual payments.

"Today a bunch of us NCIS folks got together to celebrate our show, and stand in solidarity to support all WGA and SAGAftra members striking to develop payment structures and protections that'll allow future actors, writers, and shows to grow and flourish the way we've been able to.
"I'm proud to stand by them as we wait for a fair deal. I'm sure that there'll be a way for everyone (actors, writers and studio folks alike) to be included in future revenue streams and benefit from the successes we're all working hard for. When we do reach an agreement, we'll be getting back to the stage to do what we do best."
