“Even if all your choices are bad, you have to pick the best bad choice because that’s the only choice you’re going to have to survive,” says Gary Cole, explaining why his character, NCIS Special Agent in Charge Alden Parker, made the split-second decision to pose as a heart surgeon in the latest episode.
The actor told us more about filming the adrenaline-pumping installment in our weekly after show NCIS: Case Closed. (To see the entire interview where he breaks down the episode, watch the video above.) Parker allowed himself to be kidnapped along with a real cardiac specialist, Navy Commander Clara Logan (Christina Kirk), who was being taken to operate on Colombian drug kingpin Carlos Savina (Juan Javier Cardenas).
Suspenseful storyline aside, the hour also gave us the opportunity to learn more about Parker, who almost passed out when the patient’s chest was opened up. “Apparently [Parker has problems] stomaching certain things, which is funny to me because he seems to have no problem walking through an autopsy room looking at carved up bodies. There must be something about an actual beating heart that throws him — or the actual cutting,” says Cole. “I wouldn’t say that I’m squeamish on a level like that. But I don’t have any needle fear.”
Turns out that “needle fear” known as “trypanophia” is also an issue for the team leader. But it’s another one of his “phobias” — commitment — that he might have to deal with going forward. Even in crisis, he and doc Logan delivered on banter. By the episode’s end, their exchanges took on a tender aspect that seemed to surprise Parker himself. “I don’t know that you were left with the feeling that Christine’s character may be returning. That’s the way it looks to me. And since we’re coming back, we’ll find that out,” Cole says, alluding to the procedural’s renewal for a 22nd season.
Will this season, like previous ones of NCIS, end on a cliffhanger? Cole will only drop a subtle hint about the finale: “What I can say that people are in trouble. Big trouble. And it’s going to take everybody — and I’ll lay a little hint — it’s going to take everybody on board. If you take the clue.”
Check out the video above for more from Cole on behind-the-scenes details from the shoot, like trying an inversion table for the first time; auditioning for one of the movies that was name-checked in this episode; and Parker’s friendship with Torres (Wilmer Valderrama). Come back each week for a new episode of NCIS: Case Closed to hear from the people who make the show.

Giancarlo Giannini and Mariangela Melato in Love & Anarchy (Lina Wertmüller, 1973)
Cast: Giancarlo Giannini, Mariangela Melato, Eros Pagni, Pina Cei, Elena Fiore, Giuliana Calandra, Isa Bellini, Lia Polito. Screenplay: Lina Wertmüller. Cinematography: Giuseppe Rotunno. Art direction: Gianni Giovagnoni. Film editing: Franco Fraticelli. Music: Nino Rota, Carlo Savina.
Lina Wertmüller was the first woman ever nominated for the best director Oscar, for Seven Beauties (1975). I always thought that her films were wound a little too tight, and Love & Anarchy rather confirms my opinion. The performances are ratcheted up at times to near-hysteria, and things that could be said are shouted. But even when Wertmüller's cast is milking it for all it's worth, it's clear that she has a point of view and the means to express it, especially with the two actors on whom she frequently called during her directorial heyday half a century ago. As Tunin, the "bumpkin" who has taken on the task of assassinating Mussolini, Giancarlo Giannini plays a complete dramatic arc, from the wide-eyed, almost comatose naïf who finds himself lodged in a Roman brothel and then goes through stages of passion, fear, disgust, commitment, and a final martyrdom. Mariangela Melato as the sex worker Salomè doesn't have such a grand arc to traverse, but somehow she manages to let traces of humanity show through the flamboyant façade she has adopted. Eros Pagni as the odious Fascist Spatoletti and Lia Polito as Tripolina, the winsome prostitute who wins Tunin's heart, are also good, though their roles verge on caricature. The handsome cinematography is by Giuseppe Rotunno, who at one point expresses the divisions in Tunin's character by a tricky, brilliant shot that shows Giannini and his reflections in two different mirrors.

In December 17 of the year 2116, Ray Peterson, reporter of the Interplanetary Chronicle of New York was sent aboard the Spaceship Bravo Zulu 88 to the International Satellite Zulu Extra 34.
His mission is to write a story about the check-up of infra-radiation flux on Galaxy M12.
What should be a routine procedure suddenly changes. Before the spaceship crew were leaving to Base 12 on Mars, they tried to communicate with the Spaceship Alpha 2, but they get no answer.
They assume its pilot is dead.
During the passage to the red planet, they have to attend an emergency with Spaceship Metro Sierra 13.
After landing on the Martian moon, Phobos to rescue the only survivor of the Metro Sierra 13 -- who was dying -- the Commander received an order to move to the Interplanetary Base on planet Venus.
Their mission there was to intercept the Alpha 2. This ship is out of control and has two photonic deflectors activated creating an intense heat shield capable of destroying all life on planet Earth.
It's time to Peterson to prove his worthiness despite the Commander and some others of his fellow crewmates see him as "a leech".
Assignment Outer Space is a 1960 space opera film. An English dubbed release of the original Italian movie, Space-Men. Presented in its original color format.
Fascinating facts:
This is the debut of Antonio Margheriti as a director.
To simulate the effect of weightlessness due to the lack of gravity in space, actors were instructed to move in slow motion. Actor Archie Savage aced this technique because he was also a dancer.
In the US, it was released almost a year after its original Italian release in a double feature with an black-and-white American film presented on this blog on April the first, The Phantom Planet.

§ 3.303. Malena (Amando De Ossorio, 1969)
Mala de solemnidad. Qué cosa. Bajo el reclamo de Anita Ekberg se construye una historia de vampiros previsible, aburrida, sin tono ni empaque, sosa, nada entretenida, y únicamente apta para los muy fan de este tipo de películas. Barata, con un guión tope y sin emoción ninguna, una música nada interesante Carlo Savina con un órgano prominente que no deja lugar a la imaginación, ese punto de lesbianismo que estaba tan en boga en la época, y muy pocas cosas más...
Totalmente prescindible.

- What the hell is going on?
- I can’t stay alone in that hotel anymore, thinking about it. Look how shaky my hand is. I’m always thinking about it, about that moment when I’ll have to shoot. And shit, I feel like I’m dying. I feel a pain right here. I’m scared shitless. That’s why I wanted to take that poor guy there. To see if I could win it over?
- You won, right? And now you’re not going to be upset, are you? Fear is normal. The Fascists are not scared and kill people, but you... You’re an anarchist.
Love and Anarchy (Film d'amore e d'anarchia, ovvero 'stamattina alle 10 in via dei Fiori nella nota casa di tolleranza...'), Lina Wertmüller (1973)
