Ned Dorneget died dramatically on NCIS, and it was actually all actor Matt Jones’ idea. NCIS Special Agent Ned Dorneget was assigned to the Navy Yard in D.C. as a member of the Cyber Operations Division in season 9, episode 10, “Sins of the Father”. The son of a CIA agent, Joanna Teague (Mimi Rogers), and a Detroit police officer who was killed in the line of duty, Dorneget was never going to be anything but a law enforcement officer. He’s a probationary agent when he first appears, but by the end of his arc, he’s a full-fledged agent.
