Olsen went on to explain how he was going through a range of emotions, including thankfulness, sadness, and moments of celebration.

With emotions running high, Olsen confessed that he took a few things from the set of NCIS: LA after production was a wrap. The actor revealed that he grabbed a set of his character’s dumbbells for a keepsake.
Olsen was also spotted wearing one of Deeks’ coats at the show’s wrap party, which suggests that he took home the iconic jacket. Given that he played the character for fourteen seasons, it’s understandable that he would want to keep some reminders of his time on the show.
Olsen, of course, wasn’t the only cast member who got a little emotional as the show wrapped up. After filming ended, Daniela Ruah, who plays Deeks’ wife, offered fans a tearful farewell on social media.
Deeks and Kensi first appeared on NCIS: LA way back in the first season. The characters exchanged vows in season 10.
