Why Was Adam Jamal Craig Written Out Of NCIS: LA?

Im a great believer in playing with the audiences expectations.

Its about making it as different and fresh as often as you could.

And I certainly took that approach with this first season…

I want them to know that nothing is sacred.

And the cast is aware that this is the game I play.

Dom’s gruesomeNCIS: Los Angelesexit is made worse by there not being a legitimate reason behind his death.

No other character received a send-off like Dom’s so soon after their introduction.

This makes his death so much more surprising because the circumstances surrounding his death are unique.
