Rocky Carroll's character Director Leon Vance was killed off in NCIS's 500th episode that aired March 24, shot by a corrupt agent as he defended the agency during a shutdown crisis. Carroll, who played the role for 18 seasons starting in Season 5, learned of his character's death two episodes before filming and said executive producer Steven D. Binder designed the exit to send "shockwaves" through the fan base.
