Oh, wait! You mean, the actual director of NCIS, not "directed by", right? *g*

Okay. Um, anyone who's not Jenny Shepard?

I adored Tom Morrow. A lot. He was a cool dude, had Gibbs' respect, respected the team, and seemed like, well, an actual director. I was very sad to see him go, especially when Jenny was what we got. *facepalm*

But Vance? People will probably throw rotten veggies at me, but I loved Vance from the beginning. He was a worthy adversary (for lack of a better term) for Gibbs, which made for some really interesting scenes. Now, I don't love him enough to enjoy completely Vance-centric episodes (Knock Out, anyone?) but I do like seeing more of him than we saw of Morrow (meaning, I would've enjoyed seeing more of Morrow *g*). I like how he has no problem going head to head with Gibbs, because really, our Silver Fox is tap dancing all over the line at times. Besides, he can be a pretty cool dude, too, if he wants to be. *g*

Not that this has anything to do with the director, but I really adore Rocky Carroll, so that's an added plus. LOL!
