It's a big day for the cast of NCIS and all of its fans, as the long-running show is set to premiere its 450th episode.

The episode premieres February 27th during its usual 9pm slot on CBS, and its longtime cast member, Sean Murray, is celebrating the epic milestone.

The actor, who plays Special Agent Timothy McGee on the drama, has been part of the NCIS family since the show's very first season back in 2003, making his debut on the first installment's seventh episode.

He told the outlet: "The 450th episode in its content is not a retrospective in any way. It's going to be another solid NCIS episode. It's going to be more a [continuation] of the universe as opposed to looking back and seeing how far we've come."

Already looking ahead, the actor added: "I have a feeling if and when we get to episode 500 that’ll be something pretty darn special."
