NCIS: Los Angeles star LL Cool J opens up about the show's 'surprising' finale
After fourteen years, NCIS: Los Angeles– the first and longest-running spin-off of the famous police drama – is coming to an end, after fourteen years and 300 episodes.
While fans have been emotional about its approaching conclusion, its star LL Cool J, while emotional himself, maintains they don't have to worry that the finale will disappoint them.
The actor, who has played Senior Special Agent Sam Hanna since the beginning of the show in 2009, opened up about wrapping up the series, and feeling happy with how it all turned out.

Speaking with People, he reflected: "You know, I mean, this is 14 years later," adding: "Normally they'll be like, 'All right, that's an episode wrap,' but this was an episode wrap, a show wrap and a series wrap. It was big and felt big, but it felt like we accomplished something."
However overwhelming an ending as big as this one can be, and there's definitely "melancholiness on some levels," he still feels pride in the show's fourteen-year run.
