Timothy McGee

Agent Timothy McGee is a fictional investigator from the NCIS television series by CBS Television, portrayed by Sean Murray.

Timothy McGee is a sweet-natured young agent who makes DiNozzo feel nervous about his job. He is somewhat reminiscent of John Byers from The X-Files in that he is a conservative dresser, aloof around women, and gifted with computers. He graduated M.I.T. top of his class and likes online games, leading to the occasional nickname of "Elf Lord." DiNozzo's pet name for him is "Probie" &mdash; (in the German translation he´s called "Bambino") which he hates.

McGee writes mystery fiction in his spare time, "The mysterious tales of Detective L.J. Tibbs", which Tony finds amusing (because their boss's name is L.J. Gibbs). His apartment (seen once in S2 and again in S3) is small but shows his interests in fiction writing (old fashioned manual typewriter, meerschaum pipe a'la Sherlock Holmes), vinyl record collection, computers (various pieces of hardware scattered in boxes) and on-line gaming. He is highly allergic to poison ivy and suffered a severe reaction when searching for a murder weapon. He is also highly susceptible to sea sickness, suffering even when the vessel in question is in dock.

When the main NCIS team first met McGee (in 1x11 Eye Spy) he was working out of Norfolk Naval Base. He later permanently transferred to NCIS to work under Gibbs. He has an on/off relationship with Abby, the forensic scientist. He even got a tattoo on his bottom in order to impress Abby.

McGee is in awe of Gibbs. He is not good with dead bodies &mdash; he nearly passed out in the morgue when air conditioning went down in the main NCIS building and had to relocate a computer to the morgue to ensure a case could be solved.

Although he suffers at the hands and smart alec comments of Tony DiNozzo, Timothy McGee has gelled well with both Tony and Kate as part of the team and was really the first one who got along with Ziva when she joined the team after Kate's death.
