As NCIS: Los Angeles came to an end, fans said goodbye to one of the show\u2019s most beloved characters \u2014 Marty Deeks. But for Eric Christian Olsen, the farewell wasn\u2019t just emotional on screen. Behind the scenes, the actor made sure to take a few meaningful pieces of Deeks\u2019 journey with him.
\nIn a recent interview, Olsen revealed that he carefully selected key personal items from the NCIS: LA set \u2014 not as souvenirs, but as reminders of a role that defined more than a decade of his career.
\nAmong the items he kept were pieces closely tied to Deeks\u2019 identity, moments that symbolized his growth from an LAPD liaison to a core member of the NCIS family. Olsen admitted that leaving the set for the final time was overwhelming, and holding onto these objects helped soften the reality that the chapter had truly ended.
\n\u201cThese weren\u2019t just props,\u201d Olsen shared. \u201cThey carried memories \u2014 of the cast, the crew, and the fans who stayed with us all these years.\u201d
\nFor longtime viewers, Deeks wasn\u2019t just a character \u2014 he was humor, loyalty, pain, and heart rolled into one. Knowing that Olsen preserved parts of Deeks\u2019 world makes the goodbye feel a little less final.
\nAs NCIS: LA lives on through reruns and devoted fans, those small items serve as a quiet reminder that some characters never really leave \u2014 they simply move on with us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
