In April 2007, it was reported that the lead "NCIS" actor, Mark Harmon, was threatening to leave the show due to series creator and executive producer Donald Bellisario's "chaotic management style". "TV Guide" quoted a source that explained, "Mark's been working every single day, 16 hours a day. tries to micro-manage everything. Script pages get faxed to the set at the last minute, and Mark is tired of dealing with the huge impact that makes on his life. He doesn't have time for his family or anything when he's working hours like that...Mark is one of the best-behaved actors in this industry. He's a willing, hard worker and he doesn't complain easily. For him to [threaten a walk-out means that the situation is very bad."
